Fresno has a new mural! Artist Robert Amador recently completed the mural on the back wall of Broadway Studios. Robert incorporated some of the elements from the existing but unfinished mural to create a composition that has a dissonant energy that while unsettling initially, draws the viewer in. The frenetic feel of the piece is what Robert was hoping to achieve as he worked over a frantic three and a half day period that had him sleeping in his car at one point.

KMPH 26 covers the mural project. Check out the interview with our own Donavan Byrn: http://www.kmph.com/Global/story.asp?s=8865021

Tuesday night's Bartender Challenge was such great fun! While Vance and Devoya were cocktailing behind the bar we had special guest DJs Mike Oz (Fresno Beehive) and Taffy (Meatball Magic) providing some kick-ass beats that put everyone in the mood to have fun. We had a great crowd that included the Beehive and several members of Fresno's own SCRGs!

After the drink making was done the night's winner, Ms Soulflower aka Devoya Mayo took over the turntables spinning an awesome mix that ended the evening on a wonderfully cool note.

$20 shots, $50 bills, aprons and rubber gloves set the tone for the evening and the fun that was had. It was a great night and we raised over $1100 for downtown murals. Stearns fought hard but Swearengin was victorious.

Tremendous thanks goes out to Palomino's for hosting, Tim Stearns and Ashley Swearengin for doing the hard work behind the bar and to Justin Willis and KSEE Sunrise for giving us the opportunity to have some pre-event fun!

Special thanks to new board member Tracy Olsen for taking fantastic photos of the goings-on!
