Re:FUSE Fest, the downtown music festival that we've been hitting you over the head with, was Saturday and it was a success. Sure, we would have liked more people (and a jacket for the top of the Spiral Garage) but there was enough attendance and enjoyment to warrant a 2010 music festival fur sure (and there will be one).
This being only the second year of the fest, everyone's still learning (bands, fans and organizers). But, at the end of the thing, we didn't notice a bad time being had by anybody. We, frankly, had a blast.
That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement and those of us organizing the fest are listening. We are certainly paying attention to this Beehive post and if you put up your own review at Fresno Famous or anywhere else on Fresno's blogosphere, we'll be reading that too. Hell, we're even reading your re:fusey tweets about it. So find your favorite spot to criticize and let us know what was good and bad - or even why you didn't go.
For now, let's enjoy some video from Saturday, starting with Yesterday's Chonies kicking the festival off atop the Spiral Garage with a special appearance by Blake Jones:
