There is something that happens to me when I get a pizza from Me&Ed’s. They will have a sign that says something like “Special: Large one topping $19.99” and then I order a large pep’ and they charge $21.00 and I just take it like a little bitch.
I feel like this will happen when I order a $5 “Calzini”. It will end up being seven bucks, won’t it?
Still want to try one. It’s gotta be tiny, yeah? Like, Hot Pocket size I bet. Does it have the cornmeal too?
Taken on Friday, August 21st. That pink alpine glow hitting the clouds makes ya look past a Chipotle.
Am I a little mad about Heirloom opening a location in Clovis instead of NW Fresno? Yes.
But…
There are some good things about this. Well, one good thing: less Clovis people at the Friant location.
I am not a huge fan of Heirloom either, so I kinda don’t care. But they do have good food and they are local. We could always use more of that in NW, Fig Garden, Tower, and Downtown. But whatever.
Enjoy, Clovisians. Keep finding reasons to stay over there.
Why? Why is a Fresno resident, Fresno State alum, retired Raider & Saint guy taking a job with UCLA? A main rival of Fresno State?
A man who is rich. That could hang out as a backup quarterback in the NFL for the next ten years and make millions, if he wanted to, taking a job as a consultant at UCLA?
I guess he is fucking bored. So so so fucking bored. So bored of having money and being a dad in Fresno.
Either keep playing in the NFL, join Fresno State’s staff, or go be a dad in Fresno, ya rich-ass bastard. Why work for the enemy?
Makes no sense.
He can do whatever the heck he wants; I don’t know why I even care. I am sorry. It’s just…people who have the freedom of wealth, but willingly spend time away from their family, are weird as hell to me.
I recently caught the Tower Rats (a Fresno punk, indie rock, post-punk band) at Goldstein’s in the Tower District. It was only my second time seeing them (first being at Porchfest). I was glad I went.
Excellent performance; kept me engaged the whole show, with everyone in the band bringing everything they had.
There seem to be two versions of this band, though. I am not saying that as a bad thing! Just an observation.
I am guessing that the guitarist writes songs and the band plays those. And the singer writes songs, and they play those. I just bring it up because you can tell there is a difference between the two.
Normally I would not think this kind of thing would work, because the songs are slightly different genres. But Tower Rats do, in fact, make it work.
No matter who is writing the songs, they are both dynamic and worth checking out if you haven’t.
Here is a clip I took at the show:
They have some stuff out on Bandcamp too:

Yeah I know every lunch place gets busy at Noon. This is especially true at Berrock Shop.
People on their lunch break from work, mixed with regular people wanting to get fed, makes for a busy place.
Well, I am here to rant at you retired people taking up space at Berrock Shop or anywhere else during lunch hour… KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF!
You are lucky enough to be retired. You can come out to places at any time of day. STOP CHOOSING TO GET IN WORKING STIFFS WAY DURING NOON HOUR!
And while we are at it, don’t go wandering by a school during drop off time. Parents have already made their kids late to school along with making themselves late to work, stay the hell out the way.
The only exception is Our Lady of Bullard – she can ride by or eat at whatever time she wants.
