argyle pimps at the starline

tonight could be a very good time. you see, the argyle pimps are playing a show. i'll admit, i think i've only seen them play once, which is sorta surprising for a fairly well established fresno band. i enjoy their music, have their album, but just never really saw them play. along with the pimps will be fresno's latest buzz band, fierce creatures. i saw part of a creatures show, but wasn't in the mood for it so i didn't stay for the whole set. but, i also have their ep release and it is rather good.

another reason why this show could be intriguing is that starline is no longer 18 & over. that could cut down on the annoying kid factor. hey, i'm 34, i admit that i think of shows in a different way than when i was 18, 19 or 20. sure, it's unfortunate that there are less venues when younger patrons can go, but that also means there will be less people clogging up the bar, ordering soda or water, or taking up seats. and since there will be less people there, i'm a little more inclined to be there and show some support.

monday haiku

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

the fay wrays @ starline

looking for something to do this evening? want to re-aggravate your post st. paddy's headache? well i've got something for you: fay wrays @ starline.

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.

the sleepover disaster & rademacher on a tuesday night

o
m
g

i almost didn't even realize this show was happening. i hadn't been paying attention to the myspace bulletins and such. thanks to the fresnan for posting this show and letting me know what i needed to being doing on a tuesday. that sort of throws of my grand plans for the week (doing nothing) but whatever.

and in case you can't read the flyer, here's the line up:
the scarlet symphony
minmae
the aircrash (i hear eli from the fay wrays is playing drums for them)
rademacher
the sleepover disaster

march 10 - the starline
$5
9pm

the only drawback of this show is that it's all ages. now, i'm no snob (yes i am) but i don't want to have to show up all super early just to make sure i get in. damn life.

okay, there's another drawback. my fav and yours rademacher is listed on the bill. i don't think they're going to be there. the lead singer's facebook says he'll be in new york tomorrow. but it's still a good show without them.

post inauguration plans

so, what do you have planned for your post-inauguration? going to get your party on? you could go to the starline from 8:30-? and hear some poets, some musicians playing music, some other stuff. or, you could do something else.



i've got to grade papers.

something different for the riff raff?

hey, there is a hip hop show tonight @ starline, and i'm thinking about going. but, i'm torn because it interferes with my love for our general riff raffery.

go over to this part of the beehive (God bless you, mike oz) listen to a few songs (via youtube videos) and let me know if you're down.

that is, assuming we can get tix @ the door. $10 seems totally worth it to me.

what are you doing friday?

awesome show friday night. if you've not seen rademacher, you have got to come with me. it's only $5! and, i'm excited to finally see the dalloways.
