Things To Do In San Diego: Sunday, December 26 - Sunday, January 2, 2022 | Battle Bot | Thee Sacred Souls | Donovon Frankenreiter | The Havnauts | NYE |

Throwback to NYE 2019

I feel like 2021 was supposed to go out with a bang, and now it's just going to end with a big thud. I didn't dig too deep for NYE events because honestly, I would advise against any massive parties indoors, even if there's a vaccine or test requirement. On October 22, my friend Jeff asked me if I wanted to see Jeff Tweedy in December, and I was confident that since I'd just had my third Pfizer shot that everything would be great. As we know, just a month later, we were hearing about Omicron from South Africa and I fear the data coming out on Monday will be pretty shocking. Fortunately, the Tweedy shows have been postponed so we can figure out if it is safer to go in the future, but for now, we'll be butts parked on the couch or out in the open air away from crowds. Still, I know this can be a hard and lonely time for people out there, and doing public things is integral to your well being, so in that case, there are some events this week to keep on your radar. 

Stay safe out there.
