There are some things here that are uniquely Fresno..

The Chaffee Zoo, Storyland/Playland, The Underground Gardens, and the Tower District spring to mind. Most of these I have experienced time and time again. Heck, when the weather gets better we'll probably be spending a lot of time at the zoo as we now live around the corner, LOL!

But there is one uniquely Fresno insitution that I have yet to experience, and I am sort of sad about that. That is
Rogue Festival. It's often hard for me as a mom to get out and take time for something that is purely for me. And while many of the shows are family friendly, I just seem to never be able to get to them. Schedule conflicts, runny noses, and more have conspired to keep me away.

So this year, I am going to really, really try to make it to one or two shows. But for those of you who are able, let me point out some of my friends and acquaintances who will be preforming for your pleasure!

Hey, would your friend Kim be interested in swapping bodhran lessons for massage? I have one and want to learn to play.
