cafe corazon benefit

here's what you should be sunday afternoon: going to see bands perform in honor of the best coffee shop that fresno has ever had.



seriously, be there.

benefit for cafe corazon

*updated!*

ahh, the start of another week. and, as usual i'm already looking forward to the weekend rather than paying attention and really enjoying everything that happens between now and then.

some good friends will be hitting the 'no later in the week.

and on sunday, there's an event planned to benefit the owners of cafe corazon. it's an early start, which is cool, because that allows for more fun on sunday night.
audie's olympic (club fred) plays host to:
Wheel of Fortune & Succulent,
Love Seats,
It'll Grow Back,
Blake Jones,
Roger Perry
local poet Chicago.
[and just added...Rademacher!]

starts @ 4, music goes on @ 4:30, show's over around 8.

cost? only $5. although, as a lover of cafe corazon, i'm likely to donate a little more.

coffee break for cafe corazon

damn damn damn. i read a post today over that made me pretty sad. my fav coffeehouse, the place i buy my beans, and some genuinely good folks in leo & liz are closing up shop for a bit.

it looks like i might still be able to get my fix, but the shop will be on hold for a while. hopefully. if possible, they'll reopen in 2 months or so.

much love out to leo and liz. although only casual acquaintances, i'm sad that the shop hasn't gone as well as they needed. here's hoping it works.

downtown fresno friday

so, i needed to pick up some tickets for this weekend's smog city roller grrl match, and they are available for presale at many locations. but, you can only buy them with cash, so i needed to pick up some cash as well. being that i hadn't eaten lunch yet, i figured I could combine my trips. seeing that milano was one of the spots, and it's near my bank, i knew where i was headed.

now, i have eaten at milano a few times. i've only had pizza. today, i branched out and went for the meatball sub. it's a nice sandwhich. the sauce is tastey, and the meatballs are delicious. the only drawback is that they bread gets a little soggy, but that is probably the case in most every meatball sandwhich.

now, i'm off to cafe corazon for some coffee.

i recommend the food, the coffee, and maybe the art

i hope i'm not jinxing things, but i talked to someone interested in buying two (two!) of my pieces. she came into the cafe today for lunch or something, enjoyed my art, and remembers seeing some of it in last year's rogue show. so, she left her card w/the shop and i gave her a call. she's supposed to call me back later in the week, after she takes her husband by to see if he liked it, too (from the rogue).

often, when i talk to people about vocation, life and art, i try and say something to the effect of, "if i was doing this for the pay i would have quit a long time ago." and it's mostly true. i'm not doing art because i'm trying to get paid/make a living/whatever.

but, damn, there is something nice about that psuedo-validation of selling work.

on a funny/strange note, i was at the cafe having a bite to eat before i went to track (one of the things i do that regularly pays). i was grading papers (part of one of the other things i do for regular cash), drinking some coffee, and as i already said, having some lunch. as i left, i passed two ladies that were on their way in, and were talking about the food, something about hoping it was good. i interjected that they had a delicious chicken tortilla soup today, and continued on my way. turns out one of those ladies was the one interested in my work. so glad i recommended the food.

art hop, el olio wolof and rademacher

just wanted to remind or notify those that don't know, tomorrow (thursday) is jam packed in fresno for you and me.

first, there is art hop in downtown and tower. get out, and of course, come by my show @ cafe corazon. 5-8 or later.



then, go see the show of the month @ tokyo garden. el olio is releasing their cd, will be playing, as well as rademacher. and another band (i think it's either light fm or aspen hallow. or someone else.)



be at both.
