A nice start to your Friday night might involve the Grand Opening of Hero's Sports Lounge and Pizza Factory, in Downtown Fresno. This place has already gotten a lot of good buzz (and produced some good buzzes) during its soft opening, definitely worth checking out.
After that, if you don't have a game to go to, as per usual, might we suggest some live music? Easy Funk Fresnans, PAZ, will be at the Starline with... well we don't know | Babylon is showcasing Weston Don't-Call-Me-Nick-Cage's-Son Cage and his band, Eyes of Noctum | Kuppajoe's is hardcore with A Hope For Home | Crossroads is holding a long awaited bash for Trey Tosh and his bluesy-ass friends | At Club Fred/Audie's Olympic is LA punks, Youth Brigade, with Sci Fi Nightmares, Old Man Markley, Not 4 Hire and a midnight showing of Another State of Mind.
Get on out there and mix it up tonight, Fresnans. If you have another suggestion, leave a comment and check out Mike Oz's blog for more options.
