I am pretty sure that I lost a portion of my hearing tonight. I may have also suffered some whiplash. In addition to those injuries, I was almost killed when (like an idiot) I walked into the middle of a mosh pit and a man that had to weigh at least 400 pounds decided that I would make a great ping pong ball.

I just wanted to write in and wish everyone a happy 4th! I am still not totally sure what the heck I will be up to tomorrow, but I hope that you all have fun and stay safe. There will be a million police officers on the road and may other travelers, so drinking and driving should be avoided of course. Just enjoy the day and celebrate. Where are the best firework shows?

It’s official folks! You can safely get that new tattoo that you have been aching to get! Ladies, find the craziest tube top that you can imagine! Men, break out the cut-off shorts! X-Fest is a go!

Whether you are opposed to promoter, Chris Ricci's plans for X-Fest or you are in favor of them, you will be able to state your case at this Tuesday's City Council meeting. The public meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m at Tenth Street Place at 1010 10th Street will address a number of concerns including crowd safety and alcohol consumption.

This may be a wise time to finally bust open that piggy bank that you have been putting all your change in. According to our buddies over at The Bee, the Fat Cat is up for sale.

Well, my ears are still ringing a bit from last night's Aaron Durr, Sister Hazel concert at The Fat Cat, but I am up and moving and I feel pretty good. The show was awesome! Now, don't read too much into what I am about to type here (we won't be getting best buddy tattoos or swapping blood) but I have to give good ol' Chris Ricci a big round of applause for putting together one hell of a party.

In a move that will no doubt dismay and disappoint many local music fans, The Black Crowes have canceled tonight's concert in Downtown Modesto.
The show which was put together by Chris Ricci under the company name, The Producing Group, LLC, as part of the "Downtown Rocks" concert series had been widely publicized in Modesto and surrounding areas. According to the article in The Bee today, The Black Crowes canceled the show citing "logistical concerns."
