Comic-Con After Parties And Events Don't know what do with yourself once the Convention center is closed? Don't you worry we have a few ideas for you. Casbah Concerts – This venue has been a home for some of the most popular underground music since it opened in 1989. Having a new band play nightly means that you can head over any day during the convention and see a new act. The bands preforming during the con are Maps and Atlases (Wed), MC Lars (Thu), The Loons (Fri), and Boris (Sat). The MC Lars show is even a special “Comic-con showcase” and cos-play is welcome.

You can eat, drink, and converse with the cartoonists. Tickets are $15 and the restaurant is only a five minute walk from the convention center. More details are here .
