pecha kucha 10

it's a tiny little picture, but it's worth doing. check out pecha kucha on monday night down @ fulton 55. i'm excited about it because the new venue will allow more people to come out, and not be jammed up. you see, many of the past pecha kuchas were standing room only over at the starline, and that's kept people, like me, away. but maybe this time i'll be there.

feel free to repost.

the place to be tonight is @ the starline. pecha kucha is a really fun event, the line up for tonight is looking pretty good.



show up early, you don't want to be standing in the back.

upcoming fresno events

there's a lot of cool stuff coming up in fresno. why am i telling you? well, because i want you to share the fun with me. and, i want people to know about some events that are a little away and should be put on your calendar.

this thursday is the last week of the rademacher residency @ tokyo garden. this show will be super awesome with the sleepover disaster playing before rademacher. rademacher will have brian kenney fresno, thomas from gypsy cab, luke from sleepover, benji from fay wrays (at least i think they're all guesting this week) all playing along. it should be a sick show.



on saturday, head over to the fairgrounds and check out notown roller derby. these ladies are legit, and it's a fantastic experience.



you could also head over to the fulton mall and check out the rev fest, which promises a ton of motorcycles, a parade down the mall, and more.

speaking of the fulton mall, you can head back down to the mall the next weekend and enjoy the hye fest. tons of armenian food, music and stuff on saturday (and sunday?).

june 2nd, you can enjoy a cocktail and support creative fresno's downtown mural project over @ the bartender challenge. this one is set @ the landmark and features a competitor from the megazone contest: joey "lola la chola" fernandez.



on monday the 8th you need to be over @ starline for pecha cucha night 3, another creative fresno event. adam is slated to present.

june 13 - undercurrent anniversary show, 3rd edition. it's a little after the actual anniversary, but whatever. for $15 you get 8 great bands, and i think they're playing in this order: it's an icicle, son del valle, the fay wrays, shon j, 3 bags full, patrick contreras band, the sleepover disaster, and destructo bunny. i really dig destrecto, although i've mainly seen him dj'ing and rapping with ibid. since then, he's moved down to southern cali and has been making a bit of noise. i'm excited to see him back and will be promoting the hell outta this show.

june 20 - patrick contreras band cd release show. this really is too big for fresno to ignore. patrick has budwiser sponsoring his cd release, it's shut down a whole parking lot in the tower, they're parading in, and so on. it'll be a fun time and actually showcase the tower district as well patrick contreras.



july 2 - arthop - edward stewart showing @ milano. downtown fresno, fulton mall, 5-8pm.

pecha kucha night #2 in fresno

the first pecha kucha night was a smashing success. well, i thought it was cool at least.

the what: you get 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds while you speak about them
the who: well, about anyone can sign up in advance and present
the why: it's a chance for designers to present and network. it's evolved into more than just designers

that brings us to the when: monday night, march 16, 8:20pm - 10pm @ the starline.

as i said before, i thought the first one was really cool and interesting. not every presentation was great, but overall i enjoyed hearing about architectural proposals, people's art, solar power displays, and more. i'm intrigued to see what people present this time. the theme for this event is very obama-esque, asking, "is it really change?"

last time was free, but this time they're asking for a $2 donation. that will help cover some of the cost of putting the event on, as well as build up $ for future events.
