Saturday has so much depth to its available options that you might find yourself having a hard time making a decision. The San Diego Music Award nominee showcases continue with a solid lineup at Bar Pink, and you might want to call a cab for all of the whiskey drinking going down when Winston's gets invaded by three of San Diego's best. The Che has a great lineup if you're looking for an all-ages show, and the Ken Club provides some great punk rock. If you want to find me, I'll be at the Casbah where my Chicago friends the Hood Internet will surely make the dance floor sweat. Whatever you choose, you're in for a great Saturday night.
