Things To Do In San Diego: Tuesday, June 18-Monday, June 24, 2019

I had a super low key week. Darren, Nova and I went to the Voodoo Room on Wednesday for Warbly Jets, Hembree, and Bloxx, we went to the Zoo on Friday, went to San Diego County Fair on Saturday where I was a judge at the Battle of the Bands, and spent the day with my parents on Sunday, but there were some shows at the Casbah like Fences, Operators, and Felice Brothers, that I really wanted to check out but stuff just came up. I also subbed in on Darren's new outdoor soccer team while he was Ubering a family to Los Angeles. The game was super fun, my first time playing in a game since college, but I kinda rolled my ankle a little, so I'll be icing and taking it easy, because their shortage of women means they'll probably ask me to sub again down the road. This week there are a ton of great shows, and I'm hoping to catch Lucinda, Local Natives, and Jenny and the Mexicats. And in a true fantasy world, I'd find invitations in my inbox to Rob Thomas, Alanis Morissette, and Paul McCartney. We'll also be going to ALT949's summer kickoff at Sea World, and probably yet another trip or two to the Zoo and Safari Week. As I've mentioned, Nova is out of school, so sometimes keeping her busy has me wiped at the end of the day, so we shall see what I actually make it to. Listings through Monday are after the jump.
