Things To Do In San Diego: Friday, August 14-Sunday, August 16, 2015

This week has been crazy! On Monday, Darren and I bounced all over the place from Ryn Weaver at the Irenic, to !!! at Casbah, to the Hideout, which was closing, then to The Office for David J. The rest of week was awesome, too, between Hot Chip & Yacht, and last night with The Struts and Big Bad Buffalo, my mind was kinda blown. Plus we had a fun beach day, had a few nice family dinners out, hung out at Waterfront Park, and now Nova is back in school. Tonight I'm bartending (!) in the Casbah lounge of Tiki Oasis and tomorrow I'll be slinging merch for Fu Manchu. Hopefully sitting in an air conditioned room or submerging myself in water somewhere is in the cards for this scorching weekend. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.
