Buttoms Up time with Van Halen, Fresno

It has been hinted at, but now it's official: Break out your assless chaps because Van Halen is coming to Fresno November 29th.

Saturday. 10:00 AM. Save Mart Center. Tickets. Get Them. (Even if Eddie has turned sober asshole to Mikie.)

Too bad the show isn't going to be at Selland Arena, like it was in 79.

"BOTTOMS UP" in 79!


Now check out "Beautiful Girls" 07 style. Wolfie is no Mikie with the vocals:

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.\
