Your Saturday is packed with greatness. By day, head to the Casbah for the first Vinyl Junkies Record Swap of 2014. With multiple vendors selling crates and crates of vinyl with some renowned San Diegans -- including FM 94/9 DJ and SoundDiego contributor Tim Pyles -- spinning, this is a fun event for shopping, networking and sharing vinyl nostalgia. By night, there's a killer lineup of local acts at the club, with the Pack AD added to the bill after their show at the Loft was canceled. Kill Quanti is co-promoting a big show at the Irenic, and to top off the night, the legendary and one of a kind Pat Benetar performs at the Belly Up. Should be a night worth talking about.
