Rademacher Storm in Fresno Makes Billboard

Fresno band Rademacher got some love in Billboard. That may be a Fresno band first.

Also another first, the first decent storm we've had this month rolled through town recently and Dorktown felt the need to cover it. Hey, we get really excited when something other than glorious sunshine happens here.

Check out the video of a nerd filming rain as he goes to pick-up Mexican food during the storm. It's all set to the music of Rademacher; Yeah, you were wondering how the hell that storm tied into the Rademacher article weren't ya!? No? Well watch it anyway:



Rademacher Storm

Ladies, beer, meat, tailgating and you

You've got one kick-ass "Fresno weekend" planned don't ya? Your backyard, a case of Sierra Nevada, a barbecue, some Santa Maria tri-tip and an obnoxiously loud radio complete with Ranchera music.

Sounds pretty damn good to me - except I might not choose Ranchera music.

One thing you may want to change; take all of that out of your backyard and transfer it over to the Save Mart Center parking lot to do some tailgating before the Women's NCAA DI Basketball Championship Fresno Regional - happening this weekend.

ESPN will be in Fresno broadcasting all the games, so maybe your drunk-and-shirtless-ass will get on national television.

This event needs Fresno-ass in the seats so we can look good on national television and to the NCAA. If Fresno does a good enough job hosting, we could see a men's regional here sometime in the future - or at least have the women's come back.

The winner this weekend moves on to the Final Four. The loser moves on to the after hours party in your backyard. Really though, that's a win win for everyone.\

Native Fresno Assholes

Apparently, Fresno's major export to Portland isn't grape related products, it's assholes.

Fresno native and current Portland, Oregon...er...ite...ass, Scott Moore, wrote a weak little article about Fresno's current "Strong Mayor" format being adopted by Portland. He used it as an excuse to flame Fresno, calling Fresno "a royal craphole."

Bill Mcewen, Fresno's top columnist, got wind of it and blogged about it. That prompted a Portland Mercury blog about Bill's blog.

A blog brawl ensues.

Don't move away from Fresno then call it a "craphole" because the Fresno blogsphere will find your ass!

Not enough Fresnans know how to text

Fresno, you can stop giving a shit about the Mexican idol show "Objetivo Fama" because the Fresno representative was bounced out due to not enough text votes. This is a statement from her Myspace page:

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR MARISSA SHE DID NOT GET SAVED AGAIN AND SHE WILL BE COMING HOME ON TUES. MARCH 13TH...JUST WANT TO TELL U ALL THANK U AGAIN WE APPRECIATED ALL UR HELP AND SHE HAS LOTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO FOR HER FUTURE!!! SHE IS NEVER GONNA GIVE UP!!!!

It's all your fault, you lazy Verizon texters. Now go to Cuca's [Meza's family restaurant in Fresno] and order the most expensive thing on the menu then text 666 to HELL because that's where you're going.

*Check out what you no longer will be hearing on the show: Marissa y Jorge

Cuca the vote Fresno

Hey you! Yea you, Fresnan with Verizon Wireless. Bust out your phone and text 3262 THEN "2" TILL FRI!

"What the hell am I texting?" you ask. Don't worry about, just do it DAMMIT!

Actually, you will be voting to keep Fresno's own Marissa Meza singing on Univision's "Objetivo Fama" (it's the Mexican American Idol).

Come on guys, she used to bring you your enchilada combo at Cuca's, the least you could do is send a text for her.

Check her out for yourself by playing the clip below - she's the one that starts on the left:
