Things To Do In San Diego: Tuesday, December 3-Monday, December 9, 2019

Duck-Billed Platypus at San Diego Zoo Safari Park

I really could've used another week of holiday, but it was such a great chill week. It rained a ton, so Nova and I did some deep house cleaning and lots of movie watching. On Thanksgiving we zipped up to the Safari Park and the heavy rain and the holiday made for a mostly empty park, which meant we got to walk into the new duck-billed platypus exhibit with no wait, and actually got to hang out and watch the two in action for almost an hour before we had to call it a day to get to Chula Vista for the Thanksgiving feast my mom single-handedly prepared. On Friday the weather had mostly cleared and we met my sister at the Zoo and I got a good night's sleep so I could be up and ready for the inaugural North Park Live! I couldn't have been happier with the way it went. I had my bike so I did several loops between all five venues I booked, and all of the businesses seemed to be bustling and busy. My sister came to meet me with the kids, so we all wrapped the event with dinner at Tamarindo and called it a day. It had been while since my last show, so when Sunday rolled around, I was happy to catch Mikal Cronin and Shannon Lay, and then had aftershow drinks at Black Cat Bar. Normal life kicked back in on Monday, so here's the week's listings. I've got a show or event every night this week, but truth be told, I've learned to lower my expectations and might skip a couple. Full listings though Monday are after the jump.
