I warned you that it was going to be a jam-packed weekend. By day, head to Normal Heights and Kensington for Art Around Adams or head to Waterfront Park for the Brew & Food Festival. By night, there are some seriously great shows, including a rare performance by Three Mile Pilot at the Casbah. It will definitely sell out, so get there early. At Soda Bar, the So So Glos are back in town, Thrice return to the House of Blues, and the Greyboy Allstars play at Belly Up. The show that should be on your radar, however, is in Barrio Logan at Union Barrio Logan. The Redwoods, the music label and collective of sorts, has an album release for Dani Bell & the Tarantist. The best part is that it's free if you sport a masquerade mask. Don't sit home tonight when there is so much goodness right in your reach.
