Today is Fat Tuesday, so hopefully we can see some San Diego weather that'll let you truly let loose the good times. In light of the day, there's of course the big block party and parade downtown, but there's also a crawfish boil at Quartyard for those who prefer a smaller event. For those of you still just looking for live music, local rockers the Lucy Ring headline at Soda Bar and Supersonic Dragon Wagon do the same at the Merrow. There seems to be no shortage of emo nights or the fans who love them, and tonight the original SD emo night returns to Blonde. For hip-hop heads and the people who love them, you might want to spend your night at the Casbah for a special "Dre Day" Battle Bot. These events have been growing and even selling out, so get down early and plan on catching all of the fun. Lassaiz le bon temps rouler!
