While I start my vacation … see y’all on June 7! Have fun until then, Fresno!
1. SOAK IN THE SUDZ Sudz in the City is Saturday. That means lots and lots and lots and lots of beer. This year, they’ve done away with the whole “you get x number of tickets” deal, and instead you just get as much beer as you can wait in line for — though the lines will be long. There’s also food, music and all that kinda stuff. But beer is the main attraction, and there are 48 different types this year. More details here. And check out our Sudz in the City vs. Sex in the City comparison should you find yourself in such a predicament.
We’re just a few days away from Fresno Tweetup Goes Wild, our special after-hours party with Chaffee Zoo on Saturday. The RSVP list is growing and the chatter on Twitter is getting louder and louder. There’s still time to RSVP for the event and its special $5 ticket price. So hop on Twitter, follow Chaffee Zoo (@fresnozoo) and The Beehive (@fresnobeehive), and send us your RSVP.
Now here are some recent developments for the event, including a new band that’s been added and details on the afterparty.
THE AFTERPARTY
We’re having the official Tweetup afterparty at Palomino’s in the Tower District, where DJ Don D will be spinning. So if you’re schedule prohibits you from joining us at the zoo, there’s always the afterparty. It’s where Fresno Tweetup Goes Wild gets even wilder.
1. SEE A GREAT SHOW
I’m super psyched about this show tonight at Audie’s — it features Strange Vine (who I think is the best band in Fresno right now), The Stones Foxes (a great classic rock-ish band outta S.F. with Fresno-area roots) and Still Time (a SLO band that fans of Dave Matthews and Ben Harper oughta love). You can read a little more about it in today’s music roundup in The Bee.
