Editor’s note: I will be doing more personal log style posts here on The Fresnan with expansions of some of the Fresno!Fresno! content. Hope you enjoy and check my website more often as a result.

I was one of 3 old dudes at Goldstein’s last night. I don’t know to think if this is pathetic or something to be proud of.

Probably a bit of both.

Pathetic: Why are you out in The Tower alone as a 50 something dude? Go home and pull weeds or do dishes or some shit.

Proud: Nobody else in my age group out here checking out local bands and enjoying a beer, walking miles home.

I got that video just as the Goldstein’s crowd gave up trying to start a little pit. That band was not playing pit appropriate music but, dammit, folks wanted to pit.

For the younger Fresno crowd, this has been a staple of every Fresno generation; Fresnans love even the tiniest excuse to start a pit. Bless our little hearts. Do we need to grow up? Maybe. But it makes us kind of adorable too.

I decided to check in on Livingstone’s (It has been a while for me) and have a General Sherman IPA from our own Tioga.

The bar had just enough people to give me a sense of enough going on that I wanted to stay. But soon enough, a large amount of people came in and it was too much for this guy, so I headed back over to Gold’s and caught some more Fresno talent:


As I wandered the streets home, contemplating life, I am pretty sure I saw Fresno Jesus wink at me as I walked by:
