It's been a crazy weekend, so tonight is a good chance to slow it all down. At the Irenic, the lovely music of Wye Oak will warm the room, or at Sycamore Den, catch Seattle's Brian John Appleby. If you want to keep the party going, however, the Pride festival continues all day at Balboa Park with headliner Paul Oakenfold. A retro triple bill brings the '80s nostalgia to Harrah's with Rick Springfield, Loverboy and the Romantics, and Miss Diana Ross plays a sold out show at Embarcadero Marina Park South. The Casbah will get a little wild with the Dickies and the Queers, and Saosin bring their post-hardcore sound to the Observatory. That's a lot to choose from on a Sunday night. Choose wisely.
