Monday Morning Hangover: Fresno: It’s Like, Awesome

Fresno sure kicked a lot of ass this weekend. Friday in particular, what with the packed Grizzlies game at the Chuck downtown and a packed Tower Theatre for the opening of the Fresno Film Festival.

Then there was Vintage Days with Motel Drive winning the Battle Of The Bands, sweet tours of Downtown Fresno buildings, NOtown Roller Girls overcoming the Monster Truck Rally at the Fresno Fairgrounds to bury the SD girls (exciting Fresno's Twittersphere to no end).

Good to know that Fresno can support multiple roller derby teams as the place was full to see NOtown Saturday:

But, you know, it wasn't a perfect weekend in the No.

There were badgers loose in the Tower District (no shit there was a BADGER confrontation).

Plus, the Grizzlies' concession stands were not ready to handle a full Chuck. Fresno Bee columnist, Matt James, explains. We all can confirm what James has pointed out. And really if Chukchansi is half full you have to accept you're giving up two maybe three innings if you want to get something to eat.

But to end on a positive note, at the Fresno Film Festival we walked right up and bought a Stella in 20 to 30 seconds and even got the lady to say "Stelllllaaa!" (ala Brando from A Street Car Named Desire) as she poured it in our cup. Go Fresno!
