Things To Do In San Diego Wednesday, February 2-Tuesday, February 8, 2022: The Album Leaf | Beth Hart | Deep Sea Diver | Everything Is Terrible | Karl Denson's Tiny Universe | Faye Webster and more...

I had to make a choice between sleep and listings and I decided that I'd rather force myself to stay up in the quiet of the house while everyone is asleep and power through. It helped that I had some of my nonsense Bravo shows to catch up on and watched Vanderpump reunions in the background. So here you have it - still a few shows have been canceled or postponed so there are a lot of holes in the regular venues, but hopefully that eases as numbers come down (for now). As I mentioned, I'll be working at the Casbah for The Album Leaf which will be nice because it's an early show relative to usual Casbah shows, and also hopefully I can have a somewhat normal day once my head hits the pillow for a few hours. 

And I know people using the listings page don't necessarily want to hear me prattle on about COVID-19, but with all the new studies coming out about Omicron, you should be running out to get up-to-date on shots. While having the "primary series" -- 1 J&J or 2 Moderna or Pfizer is the minimum, without getting boosted you're not well protected against more severe illness, and contrary to what people are saying, you're still less likely to catch the virus in the first place if you're up to date and wearing a well fitting N95 mask or greater. And if you're at the Casbah and have a not so good mask, just ask the bartenders because they've got supply of N95s on hand. 

Stay safe out there.
