The weekend is in full effect here in San Diego, and I can't tell you how good it feels after a long week. Longtime Casbah favorites the Blasters and the Sleepwalkers make an appearance during this long weekend, and Roadkill Ghost Choir pack Soda Bar. During the day, friends and family of Jon Greene should hit up Soda for a special memorial and posthumous album release, and Joni Mitchell is celebrated at Dizzy's by Robin Adler and Dave Blackburn. Bastard Noise are at Space, Pine Mountain Logs return to Belly Up and Panama 66 hosts a special night with Greg Lee of Hepcat supported by Western Standard Time Orchestra.
