Sounds Like San Diego: June 10

On Monday night, she makes a long awaited appearance at Pechanga Arena

My high school boyfriend's sister was an amazing dancer. She auditioned and was hired for a little sketch comedy show called "In Living Color." Life got in the way, and she ended up having to quit the show, but another dancer on the show, Jennifer Lopez, would continue an upward career trajectory with a lifetime of dedication and hard work, and perhaps some luck of being in the right place at the right time, too. And whether you love pop and dance music or not, there's no denying that there are few superstars bigger than J-Lo, and tonight she makes a long awaited appearance in San Diego at Pechanga Arena. Expect lots of lights, lazers, costume changes, dancers and general fabulosity as the tour celebrates her 50th birthday. Around town, Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds return to the Casbah, Boulder's progressive metal act Source play Soda Bar and our pals Julia Sage & the Bad Hombres return for a Monday night at Bar Pink.
