Things To Do In San Diego: Wednesday, June 29-Tuesday, July 5, 2022: The Havnauts | Miniaturized | Three Dog Night | Drug Hunt | Digable Planets | 411 | T.S.O.L. | Jason Mraz | The Cramp'd | Kraftwerk | 4th Of July | CAAMP |


It's a holiday weekend which means things are kinda nutso around here, so once again I'm gonna skip all the digging for photos and new show announcements and just get to the listings. Between Darren having a crazy work schedule this week, Nova wrapping up her "commuter week" at City College for Upward Bound, and having to run down to help my dad every night for the rest of the week, I'm stoked that I get to work for 411 on Saturday night at the Casbah but the rest of my week will mostly be me trying to get my work done and clock in zoo time when I can. I've decided I will also renew my Sea World pass, in case anyone was dying to know, because they're on sale through July 4th for $120 and I figure my visits warrant what comes out to $10 a month. Maybe later if Nova and Darren decide they want to join me, they can just get fun passes or whatever. If I'm being honest, if I didn't have to help my dad out, I would probably just camp at the Casbah this week, because with The Havnauts on Wednesday, the debut of Miniaturized on Thursday, and Drug Hunt & Well Well Well on Friday, there is some good, cheap fun still to be had in this city, but 411 was a big deal to me in high school and I'm stoked Mario asked me to work for them.  

I used to take the time to do an extensive 4th of July rundown, but I'm ready for fireworks to just be retired from our region entirely, and I appreciate IB's efforts to do a drone show as an alternative to explosives...as I explained to Nova, of course I think fireworks can be beautiful, but for the pollution, harm to people with PTSD, the sheer agony they cause pets, local wildlife, and animals in captivity, and the fact that our country has far too many guns and shootings to know the difference between the pop-pop-pops, I just think they're something we can and should retire forever. Doesn't mean I don't oooh and aaahh and look up when they're there, but I definitely wouldn't miss them should they just cease to exist forever. So CBS8 seemed to have a pretty comprehensive list, which I've linked, and I'll link other lists if I find other good ones without a paywall, but I'm not gonna take the time to round them up on this page. And let's be honest, recent SCOTUS decisions and piss-poor political will makes this Independence Day a whole lot more dim anyway. 

However you choose to spend your week and holiday weekend, be smart, try and keep it outdoors, and mask up when you're indoors. County case numbers AND hospitalizations are on the rise, and if you're like me and took your booster a while ago, you're just not nearly as protected as is ideal and spoiler alert, past infection doesn't necessarily create hybrid immunity as old variants get outpaced by new ones.

Stay safe out there.
