It is humpday and there are plenty of great options. If you didn't snag tickets to the sold-out Matt Nathanson show at the Birch Aquarium, the Young are performing at the Casbah. The Austin, Texas buzz band is blowing up across the blogosphere, and if you're not 21 and can't see them at the Casbah, you can see them at a free in-store at M-Theory. Over at the Soda Bar, Bart Davenport takes the stage, Ledisi performs at Humphreys By the Bay and the Phantoms take on the Belly Up. Or, if you just want a down-home night of one of San Diego's best dance parties, Stevie & the Hi-Stax will get you shaking your moneymaker over at Bar Pink. Sounds like a great Wednesday night to me.
