Assembled the crew and drove south to lovely San Diego for a pretty kick ass bill, reuniting us again with Blessure Grave, along with Wet Hair and Talk Normal at Music Trader Sports Arena, which is actually more music trader than sports arena. We met at Citi Deli with the lovely Veronica to strategise, then over to Hillcrest to shop and meet the crew at TAANG, and then a stopover in the touristy Gaslamp and a tease of nearby Tijuana before heading over to the venue. Loaded in and shopped a bit in the already crowded store; wanted to visit the Adult Arcade, but decided to head over to the Rhythym Lounge 
for "Cocktails & Entertainment" and to raid the jukebox befor Hip Hop Night started.Blessure Grave started first, and played another great show; great bass tone, and vocals, although the levels could have been turned up more. Fierce female Brooklyn duo Talk Normal were
up next, and I really enjoyed their minimal and powerful sound. We played third, and I thought we delivered a nice set as well; Jared joined us
on Confusion and China Walls and did a great job! Iowa City duo Wet Hair closed the night
with a really cool electro keyboard and drum set.
Hung out with Blessure again during load out and talked about tomorrow night's "Aphrodesiac Tea" induced finale in LA. Decided to get on the road and start fresh in the am. Apparently San Diego wanted us to stay, as we were detoured off the 5, then encountered a freak rainstorm, then California's finest decided to block the entire interstate for a stranded vehicle. Homebase for late night Burrito King and fade out to a 2012 bootleg. Looking forward to tomorrow night...
Soundtrack: Kesha - Tic Toc
