I hope you weren't counting on skipping out on the world today, because there are some great things happening in San Diego today. Saint Archer celebrates their five year anniversary with a free party at their brewery featuring the White Buffalo and Dead Feather Moon, and you can be sure that's gonna be an awesome time. Down south, we've got Hessfest in North Park or San Diego Festival of the Arts featuring the Peaceful Easy Feeling of Mr. Jack Tempchin. By night, back by popular demand, is the Kate Bush tribute Baby Bushka dance party at the Casbah, featuring several local ladies of the music scene. There's also the intensity of the Sword at Belly Up and Shake Before Us and Creepseed at Bar Pink.
