Things To Do In San Diego: Wednesday, August 24 - Tuesday, August 30, 2022: The Killers | Echo & The Bunnymen | The Kabbs | Steve Earle | Wavves | Scary Pierre | Courtney Barnett | River Whyless | Death Bells |

Courtney Barnett (Taken 10.3.2018)

There are some really amazing shows in town this week and in the before times I would've eaten it all up but I've gotten so comfortable doing my thing that I couldn't commit to anything. Like The Killers tonight. I would love to go to the show, especially because I've been seeing that they do some Smiths jams with opener Johnny Marr, but logistically I couldn't pull the trigger. Same for Courtney Barnett. In fact, I think this will be the first time she's played San Diego in her career that I'll be missing. Maybe it isn't too late, but for right now, my priorities are elsewhere. 

I will say that on Tuesday night, a friend invited us to dinner at Ponce's Del Sur and it was my first time eating in an indoor restaurant in something like 30 months. They have great ventilation, spacing at the bar, it wasn't crowded because there was an event on their outdoor patio, and we got to hang out with Devlin. I'm not rushing back to dining in most places, but it seemed relatively safe, especially since just Tuesday, San Diego dropped to the "low community risk level". And besides, it's Ponce's. I was DD because I knew I had hours of work ahead of me to do all these listings, but everyone seemed to have a good time, and after having been suffering in bed from allergies all day, it was nice to get out of the house for a few hours, even if I didn't visit my animal friends at the zoo. 

I didn't really hear any music goss this week, but I did get a notification that Wonderfront has changed their ticketing, so anyone who had already bought three-day passes got upgraded to this newer "Wonder Pass" tier, and 3-day pass prices have been reduced by $80 to $279. Two-day passes are sold out, and single day tickets are expected to sell out this week. Wonder Passes can be purchased for $499 with upgraded amenities. Get all the info here.   

Have a great week and keep being safe out there. Fingers crossed, boosters are coming soon. 

Update: I'm going with my sister and nieces to see The Killers after all thanks to an old high school friend who works with the band (Thanks, Fiddy!) My little gorilla friend will have to wait to see me until tomorrow.
