I don't know about you, but I feel like this week flew by. Now we can let loose and kick off the weekend with some great shows. Delta Spirit have been touring all over the country since their last appearance in San Diego during the summer, and it should be a great homecoming for the SoCal boys, who will be joined at the House of Blues by Darker My Love and the Fling. If you're interested in something a little different, you can check out local boy Gary Jules performing "Under the Dome" at the Museum of Man in Balboa Park, or you can see other great shows at Whistle Stop, Soda Bar and Eleven.
