On just about every Monday of the year, we celebrate with the Anti-Monday League at the Casbah, the long-running Monday night music showcases presented by Tim Pyles, but who can complain about a Monday when it coincides with Christmas Eve? Every year, music lovers flock to the Casbah for Exile on Kettner Boulevard. Mario Escovedo leads a mix of all-star musicians as they perform Rolling Stones covers all night long. It's a chance to catch up with old friends, see musicians who've graced San Diego with their talent over the years and a chance to enjoy some holiday cocktails without judgment. The show is always free, but the bar always reaches capacity, so come early, stay late and enjoy a Christmas Eve tradition in San Diego.
