Things To Do In San Diego: December 4-5, 2012

It was just brought to my attention that it is 9 in the morning. I've been up all night...after the Paul Banks show at the House of Blues I went to the Casbah in time for Night Marchers and Hot Snakes. But that wasn't enough, so I closed down the night at Eleven, inventing a drink (Knot Vanilla Whiskey + Fireball + Ginger Ale =Rosey Christmas). Then I came home and reorganized my closet, cleaned the house, sorted through 300 email, all while catching up on the new season of Top Chef. The truth is I was just finding excuses to be awake when my boyfriend arrived. He has made me aware that it is 9 am, and I should cringe, but at least I accomplished some things in the time that I was waiting, but now I am going to shut this computer down now so I can get to my Tuesday. (I'll sleep later at some obnoxious afternoon hour.) Seems like a good day to hit Balboa Park and the Zoo. I should mention that the Casbah is closed tonight because we have our employee photo, but if you want to come to Death Grips tomorrow, at this moment there are exactly 35 tickets left. If you want to come to David Bazan, there are 14 tickets left. Seriously. Don't wait. Tuesday and Wednesday archives are after the jump.

What you need to know about Doomtree

Doomtree is a hip hop collective from Minneapolis, MN whose members are P.O.S., Sims, Lazerbeak, Cecil Otter, Dessa, Mike Mictlan, and Paper Tiger, and are currently touring their new release No Kings.  The entire collective, that's right the entire collective is playing this Friday, February 3rd at the Casbah (tix).  Individually any of these artists would be worth seeing, and having the entire lineup of artists together is an amazing opportunity; as Doomtree's members are usually on tour solo or with their other projects including Atmosphere's Rhyme Sayers label, mash up perfection Wugazi, and Bon Iver's super group side project Gayngs.  Together as Doomtree their diverse musical backgrounds creates honest unstoppable rap and hip hop.  DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW because the opportunity to see the entire collective does not happen often.
