Monday Hangover: Saki Bombed

Fresno is getting so jammed up with places to get sushi the awesomeness of the 80's are getting involved.Grizzandsushi_007

Have you tried Sushi 80's, West Shaw, yet?  You should.  Good food, service, atmosphere, location and laser disc displays.  Other customers disagree.  A quick picture review to kinda-sorta prove our point:

Enough Tasting Already

The Taste & Toast of the Tower sucks for non-winos.  Yeah I said it, big whoop, wanna fight about it? Fresno_018

But I guess it's not meant for the beer folk.  That's in a couple Saturdays.  Yes, there was food and tea too, but when you've already tasted the tower (many times), you just want to sit and have a real meal.

It was still fun though, seeing new and familiar faces roaming the district and enjoying themselves.  Plenty of pics and a small vid'  from Thursday, after the break:

Monday Hangover: Sushi Bunnies

Mr Sushi's

Besides a way too early Easter, some other things happened over a Fresno weekend:

  • The Lady Dogs went down...hard.  But at least Fresno didn't catch them in the act.  Comcast blows.
  • The Fresnan and Dorktown are losing the Famous Choice primaries and maybe should pullout for the good of the Fresno Blogsphere.  Orrr, there should be an investigation into why the fuck Dumb Drum and Free Thought are leading for local blog and podcast...not bitter, you know, or anything guys...just sayin'.
  • Finally went to Mr. Sushi.  Food was fine, service needs some more experience and atmosphere needs some tweaking- uneven lighting is the first thing that needs work.  But I highly suggest you go and check it out yourself. (pics above and a couple below)

Fresno's Webiest Moments

Photobucket

Whether Fresno's big on the world web scene or not, this certainly was Fresno's biggest cyber-year.  So, The Fresnan would like list some of the biggest Fresnet Moments of the year.

With "The Internets" being so vast, this list is sure to miss something.  If it missed your week of tear-jerking Myspace blogs and bulletins about your boyfriend moving away from Fresno and leaving you without a guy for like a whole week, we're sorry and you suck.

Click the link below so we can get this thing started!

Monday Hangover: Jimmy Van Halen in Fresno?

I loved it, Fresno really showed for Van Halen.  A near packed Save Mart Center saw a stellar show.  Dave, Wolfgang, Eddie and Al all sounded great.  Some really sweet, comprehensive reviews have popped up on Mike Oz's blog, so check them out. 

But that isn't the only place talking about the Save Mart show, and Fresno's California reputation to boot.

Even on a David Lee Roth website, people can still manage to rip Fresno and pull out all of the classic "cow town" and "armpit of California".  And people wonder why us Fresnan's even will take offense at lame jokes about us in national commercials.  Fresnans are sick of the bullshit comments from So Cal Asshole Guy.

Oh, wait, we were talking about the VAN HALEN.  Check out the lame sounding, bad seat, video proof of Van Halen reuniting in Fresno:

Finding ways to give Edwards more money

IMG_1927

It was only a matter of time before Edwards hit the ten-dollars-a-pop mark for having the privilege to sit in their movie theater.  Ten dollars isn't enough for me though, I need to impress my date by giving Edwards more cash for a flick. 

How can Fresno's Edwards theater help?

Here's what Edwards came up with:  play a non-IMAX movie in the IMAX theater and make me pay a few extra dollars for it. I'm given the same thing I'd see on the ten dollar screen, but as a added bonus, many speakers have blown tweeters, the projector sounds like a cotton gin, you have to look around people's heads to see the screen, and there's only two long lines to get snacks.

So, you do save some money by not getting a chance to buy Cookie Dough Bites and a bladder damaging soda tub.  But that couple extra bones for a ticket isn't worth all the annoyances just to see a movie on a slightly bigger screen.
