Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, December 27, 2018 -Wednesday, January 2, 2019

It was a super busy week for just about everyone, I know I'm no exception. Darren's mom was in town for the week before Christmas, so we ran all over town, hitting the Safari Park, the San Diego Zoo, Cabrillo Monument, and Old Town, plus hanging around the house watching movies and eating out at all the restaurants that can please both an 11 year old and a 77 year old, like The Balboa, Mona Lisa, Phil's, and Beerfish. I missed some of the party fun in town, but did catch Ziggy Shuffledust, Dirty Sweet, and Exile on Kettner at the Casbah. Christmas itself was super chill at my parents' house but I spent all of Boxing day putting together the mountain of NYE events and this week's listings which literally took about 11 hours, so I hope they're useful. Looks like a lot of spots are closed January 1st and 2nd, but I'll update if I see any new info out there. Full listings through Jan 2nd are after the jump.
