The Fresnan

Monday Hangover: The Fresnets Version

Because you were to busy living your life this weekend to be checking what happened in Fresno's Blogsphere:

Swedes in Fresno:  Brodie Mash announces details for Fresno's first Swede Festival.  No, not the hot Nordic kind.  The nerdy but still cool kind.

Fresno misses it some Campos:  Not only do the Fuego apparently suck now without Campos, they don't have enough help to serve beer to fans wanting to drown their sorrows.

Was it the Best of Fresno?  Did you make it out to Englemann Cellars to catch the show?  I'm sure the Beehive did.

Fresno podcasts are still...podcasting:  We posted a new and instant classic Dorktown, while The View...Fresno countered with a local news celeb for a guest.  Let's hope his boss wasn't listening.

The Overdubs go retail:  Live music from The Overdubs while you sift through seventies knick-knacks and used shirts.  Nice.

So what did we miss?

The Fresnan Presents: Dorktown Podcast 62

Listen to Episode 62
The first half of the show is clips from the Dorktown Three Year Anniversary Party. Second half is Mikey and a low volume Bells talking on the phone about why they had to talk on the phone...yep, it's as exciting as it sounds.

No real summary this time. You've just got to listen and try to enjoy. If you're new to the Dorktown Podcast, I'd like to warn you it's unprofessional, obnoxious and there is swearing throughout - nasty Fresnans. click it: dorktown62.mp3

That was for all the dorks

Going out on a Tuesday night is tough.  Many thanks to those that braved an early weeknight out for our podcast party.  All the bands were solid and the Fresno bloggeraderie was rampant.

The Fresno bloggeraderie continues today with great party related posts from the Beehive's Will and indie blogger Ed Stewart.  Much better job than we did.  But we gave it a shot.  Check our video of all four bands that played Tuesday night:

Indie Tuesday: All About Dorks [updated]

Just in case you aren't sick of the myspace messages and Fresno blogsphere posting [It's Mike and Heather's blogsphere, I'm just trying to write in it] we'd like to remind you our podcast is having its three year anniversary party tonight at Starline in the Tower District.  Look at the flier, it tells all.

Chrysalis, Tokyo Death March, It'll Grow Back and The Overdubs will be playing and we will be watching.

This is your chance to tell us we suck, in person, for just five bucks.  That's a friggin deal.  And don't worry, we won't get your money, that's for the folks putting it on.  We'll take your beer donations though - blogging and podcasting makes you very thirsty.

Also, we will be recording for Dorktown Episode 62 all night so if you want to be on it, talk to me.

[UPDATE: Door will likely open by 9:15, first band (probably Chrysalis) will start close to 9:30.  Check the comments for any more updates and don't worry if you get there early because the Starline Grill and Livingstones, next door, will be serving...ya lushes]

*For those who care, we'll be updating this post with probable band lineup times and any other show news, whenever it becomes available.
