A Fresgeek Weekend: Downtown Overdubing... Swede Style
FRIDAY: Go have yourself a little dinner then slip on over to Selland Arena for the Falcons game. Live hockey rules. After that, keep your ass downtown (Chinatown, specifically), and go enjoy the indie stylings of The Overdubs at Full Circle Brewery with Shayna and the Bulldog and Vincent J. Vera.
Even if you don't enjoy the music, after a couple Cluster-Fuggles, it won't matter. But you know, be safe and stuff. And enjoys youz some Friday night in Fresno, even if you don't have a Cluster-Fuggle.
SATURDAY: The much hullabalooed Swede Festival 2: Nerd Face will be showing in Chinatown (hey, back to back days in Chinatown. Sweet.). After that it's the mother of all indie-backyard-party-house-shows with some of our favorites, like Tokyo Death March and It's An Icicle.
Once the cops break that up, you're on your own for Saturday. If you don't see Fresno's HateFX open up for Five Finger Death Punch at the Crest Theatre, the Tower District is an easy choice. Do something nice and buy a friend a beer, or hell, buy a stranger one. It'll make you feel warm inside, just like the free beer will make your friend feel warm.
SUNDAY: After finding out your fantasy football team won't be making the playoffs, see a fully loaded benefit happening at Audie's Olympic. The benefit is to support Leo and Liz from Cafe Corazon. They tried opening a business in the Fulton Mall the right way and it didn't work out. Maybe a little something like this benefit can help them try again - Fresno needs these kinds of people out there, trying things.
