Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, May 7-Sunday, May 10, 2015

We're approaching the weekend and I couldn't be happier about that, just because it means my inbox won't cause me such distress. I'll get over it, I always do, but sometimes I wish I could publish the ridiculous requests I get. I will say outside of the burden of email, life is pretty great. I had a great time at MS MR at the Casbah on Monday, got to catch up on sleep because Darren is awesome, and there's lots of good stuff this weekend, too, including my family's annual trek to Gator By the Bay on Mother's Day. Thursday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
