Things To Do In San Diego: Thursday, October 22-Wednesday, October 28, 2026: Hovvdy | zzzahara | Juanes | She Wants Revenge | Kishi Bashi | matt pond PA | beabadoobee |

After a long night of merch with Peter, Bjorn, and John at Music Box (10.16.26)

It's been busy around here. I'm finding that there just aren't enough hours in a day to do everything I wanna do and also get the 10-12 hours of sleep my body is suddenly demanding as I age. It's discombobulating to say the least. It's also hard to then match my timeline with Darren's, who wakes up at 4:15 everyday and is home from work by 3pm, when I'm about wrapping up the bulk of my work and ready to set out on the day's adventures. We make it work, but I know he misses me. I worked for PB&J on Friday, but Saturday we made it out to HazPaca and had tacos in Jamul before I carried on to the zoo for a quick hour at the end of the night. Drinking just isn't the same as it used to be either. When I got home, we had adult cocktails which made Sunday a worthless wasted day, making this whole week feel like I've been treading water, with a whole bunch of things on my to-do list while also working the Protomartyr show, and Hovvdy on Thursday. But slowly but surely I'm catching up with things and was at least able to do some stuff I wanted to accomplish before the rain came. And so here we are. Listings done. See you at Hovvdy. Stay safe out there. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Only two weekends left of nighttime Zoo for HalGLOWeen. Find me at the hippos or watching the mariachis. xx
