It's Day II of the Adams Avenue Street Fair, with the reunion of the Beat Farmers, and appearances by the costumed surf-punkers the Creepy Creeps, Jesse LaMonaca and the Dime Novels and many others at the free family street festival. After it wraps up for the day, head to the Casbah for a free show with some up-and-coming local bands or get some "colour" at Soda Bar with Colour Revolt and colourmusic. If you're in North County, be sure to check out Balkan Beat Box at the Belly Up for their gypsy-balkan punk in the vein of Gogol Bordello.
