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

May 18, 2012May 18, 2012 The Fresnan

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!:

Listen To This!: Dorks In 60 Years – Dorktown Podcast #114

May 14, 2012May 14, 2012 The Fresnan

It happened once over at DI60Y: two local fowl-mouthed and swarthy podcasters coming together on one episode. You would have thought these two would've learned from that episode never to 'cross streams' again – too much shit talking for one person's ears to take.

They did not learn. In this episode of Dorktown, a majority of the DI60Y crew joins Bells, Mikey and Producer B in the Dork studio for a meta local podcast. There's talk of:

Bullard parties.
Podcast history lessons.
DI60Y's beginnings.
The crews current local video project, Who Eats Brunch.
How do you get free beer?
REMOTE: More meta podcasting with the Married Gamers.
Local celeb loving and bashing.
Will DI60Y make a Swede this time?
FONZY EYYS.

Everybody has regrets after this one. You should totally listen.
