The weekend is finally here, and there are certainly some great things worth catching on Friday. The Casbah is sold out for the return of Generationals, Sara Petite does her twangy thing at Java Joe's, and legend Juan Gabriel gets romantica at Viejas Arena. A really fun show worth catching is School of Rock's tribute to the Mars Volta. This is an all-ages show at the Irenic, and every year, the school turns out more and more talented kids. This will be another in their legacy of great performances.
