I'm pounding out stories today for Friday's 7 section and Sunday's Spotlight section, but even if I didn't have a few thousand words due in a matter of hours, I'd still be scratching my head trying to figure out what to post on the Hive today. It just seems kind of, well, blah out there. (Maybe I'm just glum and pessimistic after watching last night's screening of Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story," which opens Friday in Fresno.) So I'm turning this over to you. What do you care about today? What piques your interest? What news/entertainment events are you following? How would you cheer up the world?

Hey Donald... Might want to let everyone know there's a FREE SCREENING of "Capitalism" Thursday night, 7:30 at Edwards. No tickets needed. First come, first served, until the theater is full!
Free screening? Where's the capitalism in that?
The irony, Mike, is that there were security guards at the screening diligently watching to make sure that no one illegally copied the movie. So it turns out that a movie bashing capitalism was being monitored by its capitalist distributor to make sure that it would achieve its full profit potential.
Good point, Donald! Since the movie bashes several banks pretty fiercely, I'm wondering how they got financing for the film!
There is no reason to be glum Donald.
Not even Capitalism (or whatever one's favorite
humbug is) can triumph over HOPE.
and HOPE is represented this weekend by...yeah...you know it:
The Re:FUSE Festival!!!!
Music kicking off at the Opening Party Friday night at Full Circle Brewery.
And on Saturday----kicking off with Yesterday's CHonies at 3pm at the Spiral Garage and then 40-something other live acts sprinkled throughout that downwtown neighborhood.
Optimism and Hope shall *reign* this weekend Mr. Munro! Come on out and get re-inspired!
[this should be read in one's Punk Rock Desert Evangelist of Music Festivals voice]
The world is getting harder to cheer up when I JUST see a news story about a woman who hangs out as sorta chaperone at a bus stop for kids and just got charged with running an unlicensed child care facility. URGHHH!
The best I can do for you is to shill a show: On Oct 11 there's to be a John Lennon tribute show at Starline. His 69th birthday would have been Friday, Oct 9, so in honor, John Lennon's greatest and biggest and sometimes obscure tunes will be performed for a coupla hours, starting at 7:30pm.
We can all go back to a better time together and remember harmony (literally), caring, and the man who wrote some of the best music ever.
Seriously...that's all I've got.
does HOPE pay the bills?
The Sunnyside High School Photography classes will be having a show this Thursday for Arthop at Echo Cafe - 1940 N. Echo across from Fresno High 5-7 pm. Please come and see this wonderful work by high school students. Please come out and support the arts and students of the arts. Thank you.
Cheer up Donald, my big excitement for tonight is that, while cleaning, I found a pair of shoes I had been searching for. This weekend should be really fun though, Re:FUSE, ArtHop, Picnic at Fresno State, there's all sorts of stuff to do. My question is, how do you pick?
Don't forget Art Trails this weekend in Coarsegold and Oakhurst. The art studios will be open 9-5 both Saturday and Sunday. Drive north on 41, and you'll start running into signs directing you to the studios.
Michael Moore was on NPR "Talk of the Nation" yesterday, and the irony of needing to be financed by capitalism/corporate money was not lost on him. He wondered aloud if the movies he made *really really really* made his audience stand up and vie for change in the capitalist society, whether his backers would balk.
p.s. he didn't actually say 'really really really', but that was the sense of his more cogent analysis.
[and notice, this comment did not include even one mention of a local event I'm shilling for...]
