Things To Do In San Diego: Wednesday, May 25-Tuesday, May 31, 2022: Hatchie | OMD | Sir Chloe | Adolescents | The Palms | Rex Orange County | FREE Neon Beat Dance Party | Spoon | Still Corners |


Hatchie (Taken 4.5.2019)

I have to admit that when I've actually had the time to find old photos I've taken of bands playing in the upcoming week, it's been kind of fun to post them, even if some of the make me cringe at just how bad they are or remembering how long it took me to finally buy and learn how to use a better camera...though I still think if I dug further for old CyberShot point and shoot pics, I may be surprised at how good some of those got. 

Still, this is a funny week because it's Memorial Day weekend so I don't have a lot of history with many bands playing this week. In a world where COVID didn't exist and I had could go to any show I wanted to, I would likely be at OMD this week, whose opener, In The Valley Below, I've shot at least two times, maybe three, and can't find any photos. I've shot Hatchie a couple times and would love to go to the show at Casbah but I think it's right when we have to go to my parents' house to move my dad. I've been to a dozen Adolescents shows, but mainly as their merch seller so only a couple pics of them, and I don't know if I bothered taking shots the one time I saw GWAR. I've seen and shot Spoon a lot, but not sure I was organized enough with their photos for all those times, and it's funny that my Rex Orange County photos were the best of this lot, but I think there's a whole gap of Observatory shows that were on a hard drive that was stolen from me while I was selling merch at some random show.   

So whatever. 
It's Memorial Day weekend. 
Have fun. 
Wear a goddamn mask indoors. 
Be safe out there.
