Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, June 6-Wednesday, June 12, 2024: The Coronas | Janet Jackson | JJUUJJUU | Xana | Chris Thile | The Raveonettes | Kacy Hill | Vampire Weekend | Frank Turner |

Let's see...since last post, we had North Park Music Fest, which Darren and I went to on Saturday night for a couple hours. Make sure to see Tim Fears' photos in the last post. It was super fun, and for a long time we stopped taking advantage of living in walking distance from the heart of North Park, so we definitely need to get out more. He started a new job this week, so he'll have weekends off, mostly, so I'm pretty excited about that. There's a ton of stuff this next week, and I'm feeling like I saved some events online but can't seem to find them, so if I find things I missed here, I will definitely update. 

Nothing really else major to report at the moment, but stay safe out there and enjoy all the good stuff happening in this rad city.
