If you have to be up early the next morning, you can still enjoy great live music with an early show with Bulletins (one of San Diego's great newish bands) at Shore Thing. It's an opportunity to hang at an art museum and watch the sunset in La Jolla over adult beverages. By nightfall, head over to the Casbah for an all instrumental night with Balmorhea and Mattson 2. Also, support Invisible Children's latest initiatives with a show at Soda Bar, or check out Lee Koch over at the Griffin. It's a good night of music -- if you're feeling the itch to get out.
