On a typical Saturday, I like to give you plenty of options. Were that the case on Saturday, I'd tell you that Races and El Ten Eleven are going to blow your minds at the Loft at UCSD, Wax Tailor's sold-out Casbah show at Soda Bar is going to be mind blowing, and the fourth edition of Winter's Womb is going to make you trip at the Casbah. The truth is, however, that not even Jackson Browne at Copley Symphony Hall compares to the fun that will be had at the Griffin as The Donkeys, Palace Ballroom and Social Studies perform. Every time is a great time with the Donkeys, as they summon the power of the California summer sun and cheery good vibes to Morena Boulevard.
