Today is another one of those days where I definitely wish I could be at multiple places at the same time. During the day, 91x brings back Scallywag!, a beer and music festival at Waterfront Park. It's got some old punk rock and ska with some newer acts, too, so there should be something for everyone. By nightfall, from Welshly Arms at Belly Up to Cotton Jones' Michael Nau & the Mighty Thread at the Casbah and the Delta Bombers at Soda Bar to Tom Misch at the Observatory, it's a night of really great music all over San Diego.
