OK, teens and tweens (I guess moms and dads too) -- let's hear what you thought about Friday night's Demi Lovato and David Archuleta concert at Save Mart Center.

Who was better, Demi or David? Or did you like both?

Was Demi better than when she was in Fresno last year? How was the setlist? Did they play all your favorite songs? Was there a good crowd?

What about openers KSM? Chime in on all of that, plus whatever else you want.

There are a couple of interesting artist receptions taking place on Saturday:

SPECTRUM GALLERY: Berkeley-based photographer Rondal Partridge, pictured, who at 91 is still a working artist, sure knows the way to Fresno. He came here in late May for his exhibition at the Fresno Art Museum, and now he's returning on Saturday for a reception at Spectrum Art Gallery titled "Quizzical Eye: Seeing Through the Lens of Rondal Partridge." You can read my advance story in Friday's 7 section.

CORRIDOR 2122:
In his long career, John Yoyogi Fortes has made some WILD paintings -- including one depicting an eviscerated Porky Pig that I highlight in my Sunday Spotlight column. The Vallejo-based artist will be at Corridor 2122 from 1-4 p.m. Saturday for an artist's reception. I couldn't slip an image of Porky Pig's guts spilling all over the floor into the print edition of the paper, but after the jump you can see Fortes' "Re-Cognition/Sacrifice Towards Preservation," which incorporates the author's fascination with pop-culture appropriations, violent images and allusions to his Filipino cultural heritage, in all its colorful glory.

I wasn't going to do a Worst Flier of the Week post today ... but after seeing some of the fliers that local promoters were plastering around the Internets this week, I just can't help myself.

Le sigh. I'm letting you guys choose from the top three:

This is not how you treat someone who is interviewing you, even if she is wearing cutoff shorts:


I'm pretty sure this is why the mayor wants to keep fights out of Woodward Park.

For those of you who have had enough of explosions and more explosions at the box office this summer, Fresno Filmworks will show its monthly film selection, "Everlasting Moments," tonight at 5:30 p.m. and again at 8:30 p.m. at the bustling Tower Theatre.

From the Filmworks site:

"Sweden, early 1900s. In a time of social change and unrest, war and poverty, a young working class woman, Maria, wins a camera in a lottery. The decision to keep it alters her whole life.

The camera grants Maria new eyes with which to see the world, and brings the charming photographer "Piff Paff Puff" into her life. Trouble ensues when Maria's alcoholic, womanizing husband feels threatened by the young man and his wife's newfound outlook on life."

You can read Donald Munro's review of the film here.

Fresno Filmworks shows first-run independent films every second Friday at the Tower Theatre.
