Well this is definitely a change of pace. I’m up in LA for the first show of the Dear Boy residency tonight and will return to my humble home of San Diego tomorrow when I have to get back to reality. However, this week is the San Diego Music thing which has some great acts playing like Ra Ra Riot, New Politics, The Silent Comedy, Transfer, Dead Feather Moon, FIDLAR, The Album Leaf, Little Hurricane, and so many more. You can find the lineup for the music fest here. It’s a great way to sample music all around San Diego. If that’s not your thing, there are a *few* other options for you to indulge in though. I’m tired just looking at the schedule. Whew.
