Fresnans and podcasts

So you're caught up on the latest Dorktown podcasts right?

Like Episode 50 when the Roller Grrls taught us a lesson or two. Or Episode 52 when we said goodbye to Bryan Zera, and Producer Becky fuckin' BROUGHT IT! How about the most current one, Episode 53, when we sold out to "Locked and Loaded" the penis accessory folks.

Get back into the Fresno Dork!

And, if you have caught up, please check out my blog called The Fresnan and waste some time with that while we plan the next show (likely over Thanksgiving weekend).

Thanks for all the damn support Dorks!

Fresdork moves up to Fresgeek

I've been writing this blog for a long time (in blog years). It started over here but the Dorktown Podcast took that over and I moved my blog over here.

Well, I'm moving again.

Please check out my new website over at thefresnan.com. There will still be some posts here but all of the posts will be over there and eventually this blog will be just archives.

Sorry for the little hicup and I hope everyone that's subscribed to the Dorktown blog will join us over at The Fresnan.

Less dork, more geek.

HELMET KICKS CLUB FRED'S ASS

Alt Metal Gods HELMET played Club Fred in Fresno last night and The Fresnan was there.  I call them Gods because that's what I think they are.  Singer Page Hamilton IS a genius and, after all these years, I finally saw his genius in action, in one of my favorite clubs (and I've got the audio and video proof)

First off, you can download this audio clip of Page telling the Club Fred crowd a story from Helmet's previous visit to Fresno and how they helped a heat-stroked Fresno teen: Page'sFresnoStory.mp3

Now check a metal hair fueled video clip of the show and (most importantly) the moshpit:

Fresno on the in looking outside

Recently, a neighborhood blogging website called outside.in did a list of America's Bloggiest Cities.  Boston and Philly were determined to be the top cities for local bloggging.

Fresno didn't make the top ten.  Fresno wasn't even in their top 54.

Boise and Reno were amongst those 54 cities.  OH HELLLL NO!  They can kick our ass in football, but they can't blog better than us...can they?

This could not stand.

So I took it upon myself to write a smart and scathing email to outside.in...alright, it wasn't smart or even scathing...I just begged them to include Fresno on their website.  It worked.  This is the quote I got back:

Thanks for the heads up about Fresno! You were right, Fresno is definitely outside.in city-worthy. Enjoy!

Hells yes. Fresno is on the blogging map and gaining ground in the blogsphere.  So if you have a Fresno blog that would fit the site or just want to point out some places that should be on the Fresno page, go on over and check it out.

Here we come Boise, you blogging badasses.

Working hard to bring more geek

Couple quiet days on the Dorktown blog. No, we haven't been reorganizing our comic books.

The Dorks of Dorktown are building a new blog. A better blog ... well a different blog anyhow.

Eventually this blog will turn more geek than dork. Is there a difference? Find out soon.

Go Derby it up next time

If you haven't been to a Fresno Roller Derby, you've been missin' out. Dorktown went for ya THIS TIME. And took some of our un-famous atmosphere video:

R U Serious? Possible X-Games in Fresno?

Rumor around town is the X-Games folks will be looking at the progress of the new Vagabond Skatepark with thoughts of MOVING THE X-GAMES TO FREEKING FRESNO!

This would be gi-fuggin-gantic for Fresno and put us on the hip-city map; and would help in keeping many of the coveted young-creative types.

The city needs to move heaven and earth to help the Fresno X-games a reality. Even MORE then they have done for the Trumpster.
