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!

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

Weezer-Tour Arena Rock Has Left Out Fresno
Emma Wannie/MSGE – There will be no Weezing in Fresno this tour

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:

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.

Trips to escape the Fresno heat

South-Lake-Tahoes-Marriot-Grand Trips to escape the Fresno heat
The Marriot Grande in Tahoe looking mighty good right now

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:

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.

Wetzel’s Pretzel’s is open in Fig Garden

Wetzel Pretzel walkup at FGV

Check it out. I noticed today that Wetzel’s is up and running in Fig Garden Village.

It’s solely walk-up windows and I like that. They did a nice job of matching to the rest of Fig Garden Village – I thought it was going to look too goofy in “The Village”.

And I like that it is around the corner from Out Of The Barrel – easy hot dog and pretzel access while drinking and wanting a snack.

P.S. For this post’s sponsor I chose you looking up tickets to upcoming Fresno things.
