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.
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.
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.
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.

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. Now that you have your pretzel, why not look for some good coffee shops in Fresno?
P.S.S. For this post’s sponsor I chose you looking up tickets to upcoming Fresno things.
Man, are you seein’ what I’m seeing there?
Amtrack went on their Instagram and decided to drag us.
Every city got its own emoji to represent the town. And what did Fresno get?: The fucking Sun.
That is messed up. What is Fresno’s best feature? The Sun blasts your ass.
You couldn’t have given us almond, or grape, or taco, or Kopi? Well, maybe there isn’t a taco or almond emoji, whatever…but the Sun!? Fuckers.
Side note: Can you get to Yosemite via an Amtrack bus or something because why youz got Yosemite up there?… OH SNAP, I almost forgot about Yarts! The Yarts bus comes by Fresno Yosemite International and the Fresno Amtrak station and it will take ya right on up.
Although the Fresno info on the Yarts schedule seems to be a moving target at the moment, but cool reminder for YARTS.
Whenever I see the Yarts bus going through town I yell out “YARTS!” like a big dipshit because I think it’s cool and I know those people are going into Yosemite.
