BANDGEEK!: Looks Like It’s ‘Who Gives A Shit About Making A Flier!?’ Weekend In Fresno

We like fliers. They give info so we don't have to search it out and type it into a blog post. Plus they're sometimes pretty to look at and they give some weight to a show. Just a little pro tip to all you venue owners and promoters. Yeah, I know you're thinking "But I already know this, you asshole blogger!" Do you?…Do you?

Props to those with fliers this week. This is…BANDGEEEEEK!:

Do This Fresno!: Go Mall To Mall

6a00e54ee89e6c883301676655c06d970b-400wi Do This Fresno!: Go Mall To Mall

It is Bike Month douncha know Fresno!? Plenty of things going on in town this month – Fresno is working its way to becoming a biking city, if we're not already. Wednesday is a very cool event called the Mall-to-Mall Ride…actually it probably WAS a cool event since you're probably reading this too late because we totally suck ass and only posted about this the night before…*sigh*

What would have happened is you would have joined up with other local cycle-heads at Manchester Mall and had a escorted ride to Fulton Mall. More details on I Bike Fresno.

Yeah so we missed that. At least there is Bike To Work Day on the horizon.
