Music: Things To Do In San Diego: Wednesday, September 8-Tuesday, September 14, 2021 | Silversun Pickups, Ty Segall, Sylvan Esso, The Wallflowers and more!

AJJ at the Irenic (Taken 12.7.2017)
To say these are the quick and dirty version of listings would be a lie because they took me forever to do. I know I missed a lot of things but wanted to at least get something posted for those of you looking for something to do tonight. 

As for me, I'll be home wallowing because I am so sad I'm not at the Belly Up tonight for Silversun Pickups or at OAT for Counting Crows. I heard an aerosol scientist say the other day that having unvaccinated kids eating in a classroom is like taking a whole class to swim in a pool to hold their pee and then all of them going into the jacuzzi to relieve their bladders all at once, and I guess for me, it's kinda how I feel about shows right now, especially with the exception to masking that allows for people actively eating or drinking, and for most places, they're still only a recommendation in the first place. So maybe if our numbers keep coming down I'll consider a show again, but for now I'll be sitting out some really good shows, like Sylvan Esso, Panteon Rococo, and The Wallflowers. That said, if you don't have immunocompromised people in your life, or don't have kids in school, or just aren't quite as risk-averse as me, by all means, go support these touring and local artists alike. Just make sure you mask up and are as safe as possible when you go, and think of me while you're there. 

I want to extend a huge amount of gratitude to AW who made a crazy generous donation to my sddialedin endeavors, and you can thank her for reminding me that there are still some people who want to see the listings and not doing them isn't really an option. 

Stay safe out there.
