Well well well… look who was right about the weather.

ME. IT WAS ME.

Everyone was out here doomposting about May Gray; meanwhile, I was lighting candles, staring intensely at the sky, and manifesting sunshine for the greater good of San Diego. And honestly? It worked. You’re welcome.

So while the universe is clearly cooperating with us right now, you might as well lean in and plan an outdoor concert moment too. Enter to win tickets to see The Avett Brothers & Mike Patton at The Rady Shell on Mother’s Day!*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• LP somehow makes heartbreak sound glamorous? Also, every live video I see somehow sounds better than the studio version, which is deeply annoying for the rest of us. Catch the All Is Not Lost Tour at The Sound on 10/14.

• Plosivs is basically a San Diego indie rock Avengers situation – members of Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, and Drive Like Jehu all crashing into one band. They’re taking over Casbah on 8/16!

• There’s a very specific type of person who hears Son Volt and immediately starts thinking about old highways, dive bars, and life choices. Respectfully, I am that person. They’re playing Music Box on 11/21 with Kelly Willis.

• Gator By The Bay starts TOMORROW at Spanish Landing Park. Four straight days of zydeco, blues, Cajun food, dancing by the water, and more. Last chance to enter to win tickets before the party starts.*

• Plus other just announced shows from Creature Canyon, Seapoodle, 3 Legged Dog, Sam Barber, The Egg Factory, and more!

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

Fun fact: my name, Faye, basically translates to fairy. Which explains a lot.

So just think of me as your local San Diego fairy. I appear once a day, drop a bunch of free ticket giveaways at your feet, tell you where to go this weekend, and then disappear back into the forest (my apartment).

Anywayyyy check out the ticket giveaways we have on the site again. Concerts, festivals, hotel stays, all of it. I add more every week, so keep poking around!
