New Year's Eve is just around the corner, but that doesn't mean that you need to go easy this weekend to prepare for the celebrations. Or perhaps you're like me and have to work on the holiday. Whatever the case, the last weekend of 2012 is serving up some delicious aural goodness for you. The Casbah has a killer lineup with Teenage Burritos, Cuckoo Chaos and the Donkeys, while the Che Cafe gives the all-ages crowd something to get excited about as well. Catch Buck-o-Nine pierside over at 710 Beach Club or Down Big over at Tin Can. At Lestat's, help celebrate the birthday of one of my favorite San Diego musicians, Josh Damigo, as he finally turns 21 (just kidding!!). It will be a special night for sure, no matter where you go, so be sure to get your fill in with some of San Diego's greats as we wrap up 2012.
