It's that time of the month again: We're back with another installment of SoundDiego LIVE. This time, we're heading to the Air Conditioned Lounge on 30th Street. There are a lot of heated arguments over whether this falls in North Park, Normal Heights or University Heights, but we say just call it "Between Heights," toast a drink, and call it a day. Local "cholo-goths" Prayers headline this evening, with opening sets from Glass Spells and Idyll Wild, and happy-hour goodness from the folks at the Fall Brewing Company (the guest list is now closed. Admiission is subject to capacity.). This is going to be a fun night, and you can bump elbows with all the cool kids of San Diego. After our party, hang out or head to any number of spots: Casbah has Broncho, Ditches play at the Balboa, and the Coathangers are at Soda Bar.
