Just a dopey windshield pic at Bullard & Chestnut. I was too lazy to pull over and take the picture like a man [lol]. I do love a good Fresno sunset though.
Sunset Over Fresno State
Hail The Sun in Fresno tickets not exactly sold out (and neither are ones for Chicano Batman)
I noticed today that Chico’s own post-hardcore band, Hail The Sun, is coming to Strummer’s on Thursday, October 17th and the show is sold out. But not on the secondary market. Browse some tickets for the show here.
Chicano Batman at Tioga Sequoia on Thursday, October 24th is also sold out but there are tickets available on the secondary market too I found some tickets on Ticket Network running above $150 if you are really hurting to see the show, scope out tickets here.
If you have the money to spend, those should be some good shows!
FYI: TicketNetwork is an affiliate of The Fresnan.
Molly Tuttle is in town tomorrow, should you care?
The Fresno algorithm has been pushing this Molly Tuggle show at the Tower Theatre at me for like, two or three months now. It better be good.
Call me stupid and out of it but I had not heard of Molly Tuttle before this Fresno show.
If you’re into the Folk or Bluegrass genre, you might want to go, jamming may ensue:
Alright. Maybe we should go.
Tickets are still available at Ticket Network.
Arena Rock Has Left Out Fresno
There are a lot of recent rock-related tours happening that are NOT coming to Fresno.
Hey, I know this is nothing new. We seem to get about 25% of the bigger tours to come through.
Lately, it feels like more, at least in the rock genre.
Right now, coming to California (or just went through), there is:
- Weezer
- Metallica
- Foo Fighters
- Deftones
- Korn
- Green Day
- Imagine Dragons
None of them stopped/or will be stopping by Save Mart Center or Selland Arena.
Dude. These are all bands that have played here too. All are passing us up now. Two of them are from the Central Valley for fucks sake.
I don’t know if the no-big-rock-shows is a national trend or if it’s just Fresno, but it’s been pretty weak this year. What, like, Blink 182 and … well that has been it recently.
Are we showing up less to rock shows? Is Save Mart Center/Selland Arena not seeking these shows? What gives?
I guess rock is dead, at least in Fresno arenas.
Sundown At Bullard
I was wandering the Bullard track and campus last night and took a few quick and unplanned shots
I dunno, cool enough and all, but I might look into a Skill Share class on iPhone photography.
Trips to escape the Fresno heat
I am like many Fresnans in that I can take the heat. May, June, July, and August is hot and we accept that. Otherwise, we’ll go crazy.
For me though, by the time September rolls around and something upper 90s or 100s shows up, I am like “Hell no! We have all had enough out of you. Get the freaking frack out of here!”
Well, this week is going to be in the upper 90s and 100 plus. And it’s September. Scew that.
If you have the means, I say you get the frick out of here. Might I suggest someone you can go to get away from Fresno for a day or more? These are places I have stayed before or places I want to stay when I can:
- Yosemite – Yosemite Valley Lodge.
- Kings Canyon/Sequoia – Montecito Sequoia Lodge.
- Tahoe – Marriot Grand Residence Club.
- Morro Bay – Inn at Rose Landing.
- Pismo – The Cliffs Hotel & Spa.
- Carmel – Lobos Lodge.
- Pismo – Inn at the Cove.
I don’t have the money for this today. I blew it a few weeks ago in Yosemite. I will be at work hating life and sweating, hoping my swamp cooler will work at home. But maybe YOU can get out of here.
Get out for all of us. Enjoy life!
And when you come back the weather will finally be better and you can tell us how nice it was to get away.
Be safe.
