Every Friday I do a post about the cool stuff happening in the Fresno area. It’s called “Here’s what you should do this weekend,” and if you’re ever thinking there isn’t anything to do in town, you should check it out. You’ll feel so moded.
But here’s the thing: Cool stuff happens in Fresno all the time, not just on the weekend. So with that in mind, I’m launching a new weekly post called “Do something,” which will cover events happening Monday through Thursday. Why not just make the “Weekend” post longer? I dunno. I guess I just like to make things difficult for myself.
But also, some people avoid going out on the weekends (me), so this post is for them (us), and I don’t want these events getting lost in the shuffle.
So, do something.
