Weekend Rewind: Braggin’ Rights edition
For me, it was a weekend of regional sports rivals and family visiting from the Bay Area. Where did your weekend adventures lead you? Tell us in the comments.
FRIDAY
- In Central Valley grudge match #1: I Saw the Grizzlies duke it out with Sacramento. It was a close one (much like the entire series), but the Griz came up a little short in the end, 4-3. Overall, Sac took the five-game series, 3-2. Boo.
- Stopped by ever so briefly at the Ms. Soulflower Michael Jackson tribute at Palomino’s. It was packed with people sweating it up on the dancefloor.
SATURDAY
- Who knew you can’t go bowling on a Saturday afternoon in Fresno? Both Sierra Lanes and Cedar Lanes had waits of at least an hour to get a lane.
- NoTown Roller Derby went up against Bakersfield’s Diamond Divas, in another Valley grudge match. Fresno clobbered Bako 143-90. The bout had been pretty close, 87-79, before the NoTown ladies turned it up in the third period.
SUNDAY
- My mom chose to watch the “Bad New Bears” remake on cable, which I had happily never watched before. I was offended the team was not sponsored by Chico’s Bail Bonds. Remakes suck.

Friday: Dinner at Los Pepe’s in Kingsburg with the family.
Saturday: Gigging at Tokyo Garden.
Sunday: hanging on the back patio and bbq’in’.
(Actually Sunday, though the above sounds benign, and even restful, was a crummy day with lots going wrong—our sink was clogged up and smelly, and I burned my finger on the BBQ, and just was in a generally foul mood—-so far, Monday’s much better!)
On Sunday I followed your advice and went to La Reina de Michoacan: a banana paleta dipped in chocolate, covered with peanuts. :O delish.
That’s surprising about Cedar Lanes. We were there around 7 on a Saturday and it was near empty.
Saturday, 40 mile bicycle ride through our beautiful foothills, then Roller Derby. Sunday, watched recorded UFC100 with friends.
