Good luck FRTR! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65968 Thanks for the review. Our photog Amanda Geis attended, so we lots of cool photos on the way! I'll be heading to the 8/17 show. I gotta see my old school punk heroes! Thanks, M http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/66511 Let's go to NYC fellas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65956 I'm really excited to see what Helen is going to do with this show. It sounds like it's going to be a blast! :) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65959 I already voted for you guys! Good Luck! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65956 Sounds like a fantastique idea as always! Hollywood is definitely seeking out graphic novels and comics for movies. As long as they don't attempt a Howard The Duck sequel...haha. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65968 Keep them coming. Also, reading other reviews that people have written is a good way to get ideas on voice and other elements of writing. Regardless, just keep on writing and you'll become more and more familiar with the way things work that you'd be unaware of otherwise :) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 Geez Annie...The Villa Festiva is no doubt keeping the KC fair afloat-$$! How can you diss the cool Mexican music? At least they dance, unlike the Bud Pavilion where comatose often tends to be the order of the day! The working class immigrant spares no expense to have a goodtime on their day off. That's America....AMEN! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 i quit going to the fair im tired of all the assholes and mexican music. thats kinda why also i quit going downtown. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 one yr, they had bo diddley AND los lobos. that will never, ever happen again, & not just because BD has passed. the other greats were little richard, then smokey robinson. i never expect good music at the fair, & that includes the yrs when the hard rock band i was in played... so when there IS something good, it's a happy miracle. expectations just make life too difficult!! better to expect... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 All good points regarding the fair's budget. On a side note regarding your last remark, I think anywhere is better than Rabo to see music! True music enthusiasts prefer outdoor concerts far more than an over-packed echo chamber. Thanks for the info.-- http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 The Kern county fair takes a whole year to put together. The budget from the previous fair time is used for the next fair season. In the past the fair did hire tops acts but lost money on ticket sells. Now the acts are free to the public but Kern County Fair still has to pay for the acts to come. The buget is too small to bring any top acts of today. A few top name country bands play the Fair... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65176 WOW! im excited to hear that there is a rockabilly scene in Bakersfield, ill going each month. Thanks for writing this! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 Tower of Power is dope! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 just a side note: herman's hermits are what's up! i would rather see them than aerosmith any day. (oooh that's righ, i went there.) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65176 WHEN'S THE NEXT ROCKABILLY FEST? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 Great discussion. MojoVixen brings up an excellent point. It IS the Mid-State Fair, thus you cannot compare the two. BUT, our Kern County Fair entertainment is pretty hoaky. This question of why the music acts aren't better should span much further than just the fair, but In Bakersfield in general. Why the heck can't we step it up? What's it going to take? We've got all the potential, all the... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/65176 Great job Lindssssssss!!! It's in the mag! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64468 I am glad you decided to go there. My buddies and I Have been going there for a while now. They always make the effort to get to know you and are always up for a little conversation :D http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64471 AND WHAT TIME IS "KROTCH" PLAYIN?? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63180 D: Thanks for the comment. ...but, don't drop the soap. Side note: Karaoke tunes average 3-5 minutes, but there's no rule that the lyrics performed have to match the screen (or have to be lyrics.) [However, The Junction is a PG venue. So, Explicit Lyrics (or spoken word) is excluded.] http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63180 But I Do My Best Singing In The Shower! I Know Everyone Come Over and Will Have KARAOKE In My SHOWER! :) BYOS! (Bring Your Own Soap) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64464 I like Hectic Films as Bakersfield Independant film Makers. All episodes of B.U.N.S. are better than ANY episode of ANY other Film company in bakersfield.   http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64492 I remember going down to see the filming of Hell's Angels on Wheels with my dad when I was a kid. I thought Bakersfield was the coolest place ever on that day! That Simpsons episode is a classic! I remember laughing my head off when I saw that episode! Excellent write up! Thanks for posting. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64475 Thanks! ;-) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64475 Another fine write up. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64471 Excellent write up Matt! The Laughlin Run was really quiet here this year. The Angels and The Mongrols were a no show this year. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I support the Second Amendment. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 nothing cutesy to say no nada simply and just that guns it's my right and you no nobody's taking it away nobody no booty no none period . http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 The fair in Paso Robles isn't just the Paso Robles Fair, it's the Mid-State Fair...right? I don't think you can truly compare the two. If you looked at the type of entertainment Fresno pulls in, I'm pretty sure you'd see that it's nearly the same as Bakersfield. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Statistics show that the majority of those killed by handguns know the person pulling the trigger. They are irrational crimes of passion and rage. Without access to a weapon, the person would cool off in time. Statistics also show that the nations that have tightened control have seen a reduction in murders, and in crimes overall. I think it is Lynyrd Skynyrd that had the right idea. Two... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 myspace graphics its not GUN CONTROL WE NEED IT's N----R CONTROL WE should have!!!! Gang control...cops killing  control==== Tamara myskyler2001@yahoo.com http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/62036 Great job! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I am a mom of 4 wonderful children and believe they have the right to be safe from anyone and everything.People of today do not use their fists to defend themselves anymore, each day there are more cowards using other forces like planes to show power. I myself and all others should have the right to carry a gun to defend ourselves from these cowards. If a CITIZEN obtains a firearm in a legal... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64488 GOOD JOB SIR. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Gun control=using both hands   LOL   It seems as though authority gottz us in a Stranglehold on this one. The irresponsibility of some should not bear on the rights of others. Ignorance is contagious, just like Cat Scratch Fever, so all y'all make sure to keep both your rights and responsibilities in mind! That way we can all enjoy goin' blastin in the land of the free. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 I gottz to say that my all time favorite custom bike builders are the dysfunctional family outfit that call themselves Orange County Choppers! The father-and-sons team kikz azz with outstanding pieces of custom chopper art every time, regardless of issues including disagreements, authority struggles, and just straight up attitude problems! They serve as a lesson to all of us that no matter how... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I agree with Ted, not less guns, more guns. More guns in the hands of the right people. Morons need not apply. There should be not only an IQ test when one applies for a gun license, but also a general knowledge quiz, maybe some jeopardy questions... If I wasn't apt to find myself involved in some phase of the penal system, I would own one myself, but the urge to take somebody out prevents me... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Intelligence test if your gonna try to buy a gun along with the back ground check. It's the morons who ruin it for the people who enjoy hunting and shooting animals/targets at the range. And extreme liberals take the "morons" who have no self control with their guns and push it to the front of the media and demand that guns be outlawed for what ever reason. Flip side though control is... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I believe that all law abiding citizens should be able to carry a gun and that they should have it registered and prove they can use it correctly.Also,any gang members involved in killing innocent people in cowardly drive-bys should be executed by the State. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 It is evident that there are those who refuse to accept the truth that free people have the God-given right to bear arms, to defend themselves and their loved ones. These same people's sole desire seems to be about control of others not guns. Do they really believe that water alone causes drownings, unlit matches cause fires? I do not own a gun, but this made me rethink that point...if we are... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I believe that as citizens we should be reqired to own a gun . to protect our selfs and and our neighbors. when you turn 21 you should be issued a gun and when you become a citizen you should be issued a gun that is appropriate to your size and wight. then we would all be equal with the crooks . I bet we would have less crime if the crooks knew every able man had a loaded gun . forget new... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 The pros of gun control are that not just everyone can own a gun..but the cons of gun control are that you can keep a gun in the house..own a gun in general..i myself would like to be able to carry one on my hip like the olden days. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 True legal gun owners do not need gun control, the problems that this state and many other's have, is that there are to many illegal gun owners, criminals, thugs, theive's, etc etc... actually if California were more like Texas where citizens have the right to carry a concealed weapon crime in this state would drop drastically! a thug or criminal would think twice about trying to rob you or... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64490 Great discussion. I'd like to know how the whole thing works myself. I've been attending since before I could walk. I remember seeing Santana for FREE at the Grandstand. Incredible memories... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Guns are weapons, they serve no other purpose. Our country was founded on the right to bear arms. Sometimes people who aren't intelligent or responsible have guns and use them in a way that that our constitution did not intend. What we need is a less insane society, not gun control, people are out of control. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64488 Great collection. There's some on this list I haven't seen yet. Y Tu Mama is an awesome film...si!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 The mad man is back!!!! I want them tix. Richard Ted  is right, and our founding fathers put the second amendment in there for that reason. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64479 Great column Gil. I used to have one of those Evil Knievel motorcycles too...haha! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 If you outlaw guns,only outlaws will have guns.Im from Montana and we dont have much crime there because we all carry GUNS!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I am no master of words but I know that we should have the right to bear arms. Gun control also affects the simple huntsman. It is a joke the way the politicians view guns and would be happy to brainwash the general public in believing only their view on this. Wake up America!!!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 "This year will go down in history! For the first time, a civilized nation with full gun control. Our streets will be safer, our police more effcient, and the world will follow our lead into the future." Attributed to Adolf Hitler April 5th, 1935. Need I say more??? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I live in America and I believe in the 2nd Amendment - The right to bear arms. If we TRY to enforce gun control, the only people who will have guns will be the people who shouldn't and where does that leave us law-abiding citizens trying to protect our family and our homes? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Should be available but with stricter controls. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 With China taking control of much of our assets, and being Chinese it the #1 foreign language being taught, even in our elementary schools, the rights given to us by the constitution are in joepardy. I would never register my guns much less give them up. Ted Nugent has been our saviour fighting gun control feverishly as he does. Peace begins with the ability to protect yourself. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 guns need to have an IQ requirement to be purchased! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Gun Control? It isn't the guns that need controlled it is the people who own them that need to control themselves. A gun never did anything wrong, a gun never took a life justly or unjustly, a gun never did anything .. it took a person to cause the action. With that being said, we all have the right to protect ourselves and not depend on some other agency to do it for us. It is obvious that... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Gun control will mean that only the criminal will be allowed to bear arms. Right now drugs cannot be enforced and look at all the resourses use in trying to control it. So, taking away the right to have a gun from an honest citizen will not change anything. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Ted Nugent is the real thing. A real non-pantywaist. He is a a real man, even though he fades into the background noise, he is there when stupid ***** happens and stupider people come out of the woodwork. He is there to bring a woodsmans/survivalists point of view. His words are basic truth. Do you like to eat? Do you like to breathe? Do you think that the cities will survive the next... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Having worked as an LVN in an urban ER and seen LOTZ of gunshotwounds and now working with teens whose first concern is their gang affliation--it might be surprising how pro-gun I am. Even handguns! Sadly there are morons who will use crayons to injure someone if they want--so restricting guns/ammo/etc. is not the answer. We need to build better, smarter people. Additionally, hunting for... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Control? Those that have guns don't want to control, those that don't have guns want to control those that do!The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights declares a well-regulated militia as "being necessary to the security of a free State" and prohibits infringement of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms. I think that says... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 Guns are like the appendix. Everybody has one but doesn't really need it. However, if a surgeon tried to cut me open and take my appendix simply because I didn't need it, I'd pull a gun on him and tell him to swallow his chewing gum. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 I agree with Ted on this one, Americans have a right (and responsibility) to keep and bear arms, to defend themselves and their loved ones, from neocons and others seeking to do us damage. peace, Montfred http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/64454 http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/60152 For sure I'll be there! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/61347 This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 Indian Larry is gone"God rest his soul"but in my mind he was the best bike builder of all time!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 My favorite bike builder is Jessie James of West Coast Choppers. # 1. he has got a cool name . # 2. he puts those six shooter cylinders on his bikes that are so cool. # 3. hes got that cool tattoo on the palm of his hand that says "pay me sucker" ha ha ha . and last but not least # 4. he's got that cool logo of the iron cross with west coast choppers on it that every body copies ...oh and I... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 My choice would be the guys of West Coast Choppers. I thought the bikes they built on their show were awesome!! I went to the Thunder Run for the first time two years ago and I had a blast. I probably took about thousand pictures while there. Loved all the bikes. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 Jesse James, West Coast Choppers. First reason - his name and the TV show. Second reason - he built one for a friend of mine. Third reason - LONG BEACH! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 Have to say Johnny Chop, RIP mann we miss you. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 Personally I have to say my favorite builder is gone. Indian Larry Desmedt.I liked his 60's style a bit more then the new stuff coming out now. But hey,,thats just me. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/63381 My favorite custom bike builder is Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycles. Russell started out by messing around with his personal scooters when he was a teenager. His ideas went from there and he began working with choppers. The reason Exile Cycles is my favorite custom bike builder, is Russell doesn't believe in making them fancy. He builds choppers that are what the true rider wants, a bike... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/62058 this artical is soooo gay (hehe)i liked it http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/60152 Couple more days!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/61347 Any time we save a "rack" it is for the good of mankind. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/62106 Im So THERE!

Ahhh The Adicts...Bako was lucky to see them before they went back to UK! Thanks! Matt http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/62058 Interesting post as usual.

There is a band called the Easy Star All Stars who do an amazing dub reggae adaptation of Pink Floyd called "Dub Side of the Moon" and Radiohead's album "Ok Computer." Another good must-have is Pepper, which is a reggae/rock band from Hawaii. I've seen Eek a Mouse at the... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/62015 Wow! I used to read his articles all the time!
