Don't get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving and everything about it -- except for the fact that the following week feels extra super long. I mean, it is only Wednesday and I'm ready to wrap it up and tie a bow on it. Perhaps some live music can help get us through. At the Casbah, Canadian garage-rock duo Pack A.D. returns, while San Francisco indie duo Chasms are back in San Diego with a show at Soda Bar. Aussie musical comedian Tim Minchin brings his show to Balboa Theatre and Trophy Eyes headline the Irenic. It's a solid night of music with shows all over the city, so even if you're week isn't quite over, you can treat yourself to a midweek treat to get you through.
