Notes from the Jeffrey Schecter Fan Club

T-minus 10 days until the Governor heads back to Fresno (for real this time), but our West Coast Bureau Chief 559 por Vida was just in town over the weekend. He sent us this EW-style "Shaw Report" to keep us up-to-date on the hot Central Valley Trends:

IN:
-Campagnia
-Fake Boobs
-Bud Light

OUT:
-Elephant Bar
-Sunburned Boobs
-Champagne & Strawberries

He adds this: "Campagnia, for those of you not living in town, is like the Tribeca Grand lounge, full of the people they don't let into the Tribeca Grand. That being said, give props to Brad the bartender for giving the best 'What the f---' look when someone orders a Grey Goose dirty on the rocks."

Put that in your Zagat. Meantime, here's a couple of links to keep you occupied:

1. Check out a leaked MP3 from Brian Wilson's "Smile" redux. Stereogum and company are calling the track "Heroes & Villains 2004." This is some very cool stuff.

2. Waste half your day dream casting a made-for-TV movie with this handy IMDB headshot generator. Here's that cut-rate Jason Biggs you've been searching for, not to mention the guy who will play your dad on that new Hispanic sitcom you've been meaning to write.

3. Did we mention how much we love Fresno Famous? First, they call out the Fresno Bee on its tendency to write headlines that sound like movie trailer voiceovers, and today, they offer up a juicy preview of their interview with Cursive, who are playing Fresno Thursday at Big Game Studios on Belmont. We ruined the needle on our iPod while playing "The Ugly Organ" ad infinitum, so maybe while Tim Kasher is in town he can officially dub Fresno the next Omaha. Do it. Do it.
