Things To Do In San Diego: Monday, October 19-Tuesday, October 20, 2015

I think I earned my stripes this weekend. I'll start by saying that I stayed home on Friday and Sunday night- The Districts cancelled their Irenic show after getting caught north of the I-5 road closures- and I had already told Observatory I had to work elsewhere, so I was off the hook, but it was nice being home and hearing Darren and Nova come home so excited after the Echosmith/TwentyOne Pilots show at OAT. We had been to a private show at 207 with Echosmith earlier in the day so I got my fill then. On Saturday, it was my night on the town. I started at the Besties at the Fleet to collect the awards for The Casbah and Observatory, then headed to The Observatory just in time for FIDLAR. I stayed for the first half hour or so of their set, dropped by Bar Pink, then saw the remainder of Hinds' set at The Irenic. From there, I went to Soda Bar for Horse Feathers then caught Chad Valley at The Hideout, before closing the night at the Ken Club. Sunday was a manic day but we spent some time at Mission Trails which was beautiful with overcast skies, but by the time we were home and having dinner, I just couldn't get my work done fast enough to muster the trip up to the Belly Up for Givers. So, I'm super bummed I had to miss them, but family is first and we needed a powwow together before Nova returned to school from fall break. This week has some great shows- I'll be a MMJ on Monday, then Darren will be at Yacht on Tuesday, and if he's home in time, I might run out to see Ought. I might try to catch Small Black on Wednesday, stay home on Thursday, and then see Kero Kero Bonito and Bully on Friday before slinging merch for Mudhoney on Saturday and Rozzi Crane on Sunday. Not a bad week at all. Tuesday through Sunday listings are after the jump.
