This roundup of shows begins in San Diego, where I spent a long weekend for Comic-Con. Sorry, no partying with Dethklok or Andrew WK, but there happened to be a couple of rad shows at one my favorite venues of all time: The Casbah.

This title was reviewed in Giant Robot perhaps a few times. Take a look at his video and if you want, peruse his zine digitally. (Antagonism – Psycho Moto) Fanzine from Ethan H. Minsker on Vimeo.
