I'll Bet You Think This Blog Is About You

We just spent 20 minutes speaking to a Fresno Bee reporter, which led us to wonder, "Hey Governor, you lazy chump, isn't it about time you updated Fresyes before it's removed from every hot permalink out there?" Why yes, it is.

Let's recap the week:

1. Fresno Famous once again beats us to the punch by getting nostalgic on the Vagabond Motel pool. Turns out the historic skate park is going to be a casualty of "downtown revitalization." That also means all you out-of-towners will just have to head to Visalia to get your shred on. (Meantime, there's always "Ken Park," the creepy movie by "Kids" director Larry Clark about skater kids in the South Valley.)

Also check out Famous's new super-hott blog.

2. Correspondent (and former Fresnan) Angel just reported back from South by Southwest (that was some hangover, buddy… it's only been eight months) and he reports that the "Next Big Thing" is in fact Supagroup, a rock 'n' roll band out of New Orleans. (By the way, you missed Jazz Fest, which would've been a touch more humid than Coachella.) Funny thing about Supagroup, last time they played in New York (at Plaid) they managed to get the entire crowd to simultaneously consume shots on command. This must be America's answer to The Darkness.

3. F.O.F. (Friend of Fresyes) Matt wrote this hilarious diatribe today on ESPN.com's Page 3: Go away, L.A. Faker Fans. "Jack is part of the problem, not the solution. If Jack were David Hasselhoff, maybe being a Laker fan wouldn't be so damn cool."

4. Insta-Tearjerker Recipe, care of "The O.C." season finale: Pan slowly across faces of sad people, add Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah." Throw in some MSG for good measure.

5. Ashley Olsen is now single. We don't really have anything to say about that, we swear.
