The Music Scene in most American towns is something constantly evolving. Not only is the evolution of music and genres continuing to shape and lead culture but local factors also have a huge effect. Local bands, venues, gathering places, and residents themselves all move, change, die, survive, grow old or worse yet, get married. Many Cities have had their glory years but right now in Fresno, things feel like they are coming together.

Armageddon, everybody's second-favorite asteroid movie of the summer of 1998, has been in my mind as the perfect swede for a very long time.

It's big, dumb, stupid, and a lot of fun. In a nutshell: It IS Dead in 60 Years!

Wait a Minute: It's on!!!

The 2nd Annual Great Fresno RoboRun is happening the morning of Monday, January 16th, 2012! What better way to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day then to witness the madness as the Di60Y crew takes on the Girls of Atomic Assault Roller Derby and GloboGym's Purple Cobras in the runningest, eatingest, burritoest relay race of all time!

Oktoberfest 2011 – An outsider’s perspective:

I was excited to see the Oktoberfest video online yesterday. I saw an opportunity to live vicariously through my friends in order to escape the maleficent hand of grad school term papers and oppressive loneliness. After all, a year ago that was me, drinking my way through the oppressive Fresno heat one delicious brew at a time until I could barely walk, let alone search for the ever allusive drunkest sailor at the shit storm.

Now I was relegated to the side lines, to watch as Roger and Greg drink to their hearts content and/or their mother’s mini-vans. As I watched, I laughed, I cried and I reminisced, which ultimately resulted in a jealous rage-inspired suicide attempt… Anyways, this is a good one.
