Things To Do In San Diego: Monday, August 15-Thursday, August 18, 2016

Another weekend behind us and a busy week ahead. After a nighttime swim with Nova's friends on Friday evening, I went to see Lucy Dacus at the Casbah and she definitely exceeded expectation and is someone you should look out for, especially when Matador re-releases her record on September 9. From there, I went to Bar Pink, then the Ken Club. It was a good night. The kiddo was a little sick on Saturday so we all laid low and hung around the abode. On Sunday, Nova and Darren spent the day volunteering at the Dollhouse with paint and construction jobs while I worked at home (to make sure you have these listings and stuff) and by the time they came home, I was pretty much out the door to catch Rhett Miller at Soda Bar. It was an awesome show, and the first time in ages that I posted up front and center stage for an entire show. When it was all done, I went to Casbah for Dillinger Escape Plan, then closed the night at Scotty Pants' Karaoke at the Hideout. This week has so many amazing shows and Nova goes back to school, so I will be trying again to reestablish the work/life balance. Monday through Thursday archives are after the jump.
