Remember how earlier this week I told you there was a lot going on this week? Well, this is what I'm talking about. I know the Griffin and Cafe Sevilla are having openings, and Urbanist is having a release party, but it's time for SoundDiego Live (get on the guest list here), and we've put together a killer lineup, along with free food and drinks, and we always get pretty excited to have all of our bloggers together to share the good times with all of you. New Mexico and Old Tiger are two San Diego greats, and when our party at Soda Bar ends, you'll still have time to get downtown to see Dead Feather Moon and Kera and the Lesbians at the Hard Rock Hotel for Mary Jane's Underground. Both parties are free -- we know you've got to watch your budget -- and both are going to be crowdpleasers. See you tonight!
