Things To Do In San Diego: Monday, December 17-Wednesday, December 26, 2019


I spent the first half of last week being super sick and trying to lay low with copious amounts of guafenisen laced syrups. On Wednesday I was well enough to get outside and take the dog to Nova's soccer practice and at least breathe some fresh air. By Thursday, I was itching to really get out and was so happy to see the amazing Middle Kids again, this time at Soda Bar. On Friday, tickets for Wrex The Halls came through, and that was a pretty special night, too, though I missed several of the openers because I couldn't get my work done in time. But I did catch Billie Eilish, Third Eye Blind, and Death Cab for Cutie and got to see lots of good friends, too. Our whole weekend was spend in Coronado for Nova's soccer tournament but I was pretty wiped after on both days and have just been sleeping a ton. Which means that I woke up super early (for me) today and got all the listings done through next Wednesday. Darren's mom will be in town this week, we've got a tree to decorate, a ton of cleaning and stuff to do around the house, but I'll definitely be out, too, like my last minute Thom Yorke ticket for tonight and Ziggy Shuffledust on Thursday. Plus we'll get in some nighttime Zoo and Safari Park visits, too. I hope everyone has a great Christmas. My new keyboard is on its way from Hong Kong so hopefully I'll get back to posting again when it's all fixed. Full listings through 12/26 are after the jump.
