Even with the minute chance of rain in the forecast, today's music lineup is worth having to hoodie up for. OB's Oktoberfest is down by the pier with some of your favorite local bands, while Boots in the Park debuts with Billy Currington and other country stars at Waterfront Park. By nightfall, Screaming Females do the trick at Casbah, Lindsey Buckingham strikes out on his own at Spreckels and the Sheepdogs play Soda Bar. I told you it was going to be a jam-packed weekend.
