It's here, the 2008 2nd Anniversary of San Diego: Dialed In:This is a flyer made by Alex for the One Year Anniversary show in 2007.My name is Rosey and I am the one person show behind San Diego:Dialed In. I have been a blogger since March 25, 2003, but my old blogs are inactive. San Diego:Dialed In was created on November 6, 2006. I hope you check out the site, support local music, and say hi if you see me out on the town. Extra love if you buy me a drink.
The site is a constant work in progress. I run a very lo-fi operation for my blogging hobby. I use blogger to create the site, YouSendIt to host music, VMix and YouTube to host video, Photobucket and Flickr to host pictures and GoDaddy hosts my domain name only. I've got a presence on MySpace (duh), Facebook, Twitter, and I'm working on a Ning site. I've recently added contributors to my site to help with updates. Advertising is available, music submissions are accepted. Contact me at [email protected]
"Blogging's hip. Real hip. It's so hip that your aunt who always wants to crochet you something knows it's hip. She knows it's hip because she's got a crocheting blog.
It's so hip that CityBeat finally started its own blog ("Last Blog On Earth," which has the hip acronym of LBOE, as in the human joint—get it?!). Of course, we were hardly the first. In our local-music issue a few months back, we featured our favorite San Diego music bloggers that have been spewing late-night scene reports for the last year and a half or so. They are tireless fans, every bit as indispensable to the San Diego music scene, if not more so, than CityBeat.
One in particular, however, never sleeps. Her name is Rosey. Judging by her blog at www.sddialedin.com, the woman is literally out four to seven nights a week, hitting upwards of 15 different shows.
Unlike some of us snobs, however, Rosey is inclusive. Sure, she'll spend four nights a week hanging with indie-fags at The Casbah or Beauty Bar or Ken Club, but she'll also openly pine for tickets to Joss Stone or even The Pussycat Dolls (for her little sister, or so she writes)...
...We thank her for her relentless support of the scene, and we worry for her well-being."

"A young site run by a veteran show-goer known only as “Rosey.†If you’ve been to a show in San Diego, chances are you’ve rubbed elbows with Rosey waiting for a drink or been annoyed by her camera flash. But it’s for your own good! Those photos, along with event reviews and a selective show schedule, end up on her blog. “If I could be in 15 places at once, these are the places I’d go,†she says. The native San Diegan offers witty reports on newsworthy items and occasional gossip in a refreshingly inclusive forum.
Go there now: For a thorough “Things To Do†list for the “indie/wouldn’t-be-caught-dead-at-On-Broadway types†and quality photos of sexy local bands with clever hair cuts. "
