Have we got a whole day planned out for you. By day, head over to the Golden Hill Street Fair. The event has been resurrected for the first time in six years and, with the help of Sezio curating the live music, there is a little dream lineup of some of San Diego's best indie bands. After the festival, you can head to the Lincoln Room downtown which will be shutting its doors after this weekend. After some good eats and cocktails, you can go to the Casbah for a great night of music with Alberta Cross and Everest together on the same night! Both have had Casbah residencies in the past couple years and I'm ecstatic that the two are back in town. Everest has just released a new record, Ownerless, so expect to hear some old favorites and some new tunes, too.
