Fresno Famous enters the Bakersfield blogosphere - By N.L. Belardes
I had been writing about helping to unite the Bakerfield/Fresno scenes since earlier in the year (read on: 1, 2, 3). Oh yes, a few people laughed at me. But then, those are probably the same people who laughed about the hockey compilation CD Growing Up Fighting: Bakersfield Hockey Vol. 1. And now there are at least 12 bands participating on that compilation celebrating the local music scene and hockey culture…
The music scene in Bakersfield has been united for some time. And I know there is a thriving Fresno music scene as well with plenty of artists on hand to uplift the Fresno scene. Between myself and a few other bloggers, and untold numbers on myspace.com, the Bakersfield scene is pretty well covered. But now you can read about some of the happenings in Fresno and Bakersfield right on the same blog. Go to thebuzzblogs.com and check out how much that site has been growing. You can now find the blog from fresnofamous.com, ‘Sour Grapes’. Get an informative peek at what else is happening just a little north of us in the valley.
And it’s good timing too. Fresnofamous.com was just mentioned in an article about the Fresno brain drain on the front page of the LA Times yesterday. Jarah Euston, one of the minds behind Fresno Famous is fulfilling her dream to beautify Fresno in arts collectives, architecture, as well as in culture and writing. And her efforts are worth noting, as she, like me, returned to her native Central Valley soil, and puts a legitimate effort into helping an arts scene grow and flourish…
Only, she even has an office... lucky girl. And that cool mural...
Yes, the brain drain goes on, but some of us academics have returned to do what we can to help…
