http://www.bakotopia.com/home/RecentPostComments Recent Post Comments on Bakotopia en-us http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14219 I'm more than honored to have my book selected by the Chicana Book Club. It's a great time for me to get involved in the club, and an especially tearful moment to feel embraced by my own culture. Yes, my eyes got all watery, and yes I still recognize that my own culture might not be entertained by the book. But it was selected and that makes me proud beyond belief! My own Chicano father used to think writing was for sissies. "You need to work hard and learn to drive a truck!" But I think that came more from his own troubled heart of not having finished college. He's not around, so I can't ask. But I am thankful. He was creative, and my Germanic mother was supportive and a believer in me. She's not around either, but she would have been proud too. What can I say? This little book club in Bakersfield reading my book is a major achievement in my life and I look forward to great discussion, good food, and for Sal to talk about revolutionary heroes... this is a defining moment. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14355 Twinkie's prayer of the day: Oh Dear God, please don't ever let me get drunk enough to think it's ok to take my shirt or pants off in public. Please God, I beg of you. And if I ever do.... please don't let Matt be whever I may be. I'll do anything. I'll even give up Coors Light. Ok, so I don't drink Coors Light. No need to get all caught up in technicalities, is there? I beg you! Please. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14219 Though last meeting was held at my pad I must say it was my first book club attendance. Twinkie did spring it on me so I was found unprepared with no idea as to what the title of the book was. However, being part of such an in-depth discussion with people passionately commenting on what they felt and what went through their minds as they read which part...was truly inspiring and ambitiously driven. I felt as if I had read the book and my understanding of it became clearer with each comment. I am looking forward to next month and to make sure I am not found unprepared I have purchased my book of Lords and am reading using every spare moment I have, I even carry it my purse next to my never leave behind lipgloss and have to have with me compact. Thank goodness for big purses, (I guess I am getting older since someone once told me, the older you get the bigger purse you carry) Luckily I am old enough to where I can just carry "everything" with me. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/6770 Jenny, you have write more than one word every 10 minutes to avoid timing out. Check out my You Tube profile's vids: mentoburu http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/6770 Nice work! Wouldn't it be cool if you could just upload a video right to Bakotopia? Whatya think? Also, here's a direct link to one of the Dusk Devil's videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsnEKovRpQ http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14219 I'll take the opportunity here to thank my sister for allowing me to host the book club at her house. I sort of just volunteered it and then later called her and said, "Oh, BTW.. I need your house on so-and-so day. I volunteered you to host my book club meeting." And in that way, sort of "forced her" to be part of the club. hahaha I'm very fortunate for the sisters I have! They truly ROCK! She even had some ambience music going for us in the background. I want a copy of that CD, BTW! hint hint! Sal, it was fun having you at the meeting. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! I also wanted to thank Jose for the information he provided us about the meaning of names, and how the original history of Quetzalcoatl has been tweeked by those who rewrote history to serve themselves. It was very insightful. I am looking forward to the next meeting. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 i liked most of the tunes. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14515 Hey Sal, where do you work? I want free Chiclets! LOL And while you're at it... how about that DEMO? hahaha http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14226 Viva la Revolucion Cultural Teatrica! or something like that? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14515 "Abarotes"? hmmm I learned a new word today! Gracias! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14515 Arm the poor! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14153 Strawberry season is over. Dammit. I love strawberries. Great poem, thanks for sharing it with us. I love the raindrops sound effect that bakotopia.com added for us too! COOL! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14515 You're the bomb, Sal! Always a great reader, speaker, fan, and supporter! A futuristic Latino with great knowledge of our past! See you at the partay!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14153 love the interspersing of lyrics in this... absolutely luscious. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14226 Hurray...someone besides me with featured theatre content on bakotopia. It's the start of a revolution! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 As everyone stated before, it was an excellent show. The local talent that Bakotopialand has to offer was diverse and intriguing. There were some crazy art pieces there and congrats to all that were displayed. Hectic Films provided an insane look into the depravity that we live in. OUTSTANDING!! Thanks to Matt for the invite and had a great time. NOW, THE BIG QUESTION....WHEN DOES THE RESTAURANT OPEN????? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14090 ack. Dreams put on hold don't always survive. How sad. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14062 Julie, Awesome story and if you ever have a need for an investigation you let us know, especially at the theatre. That is an awesome story and we often have a group of deceast friends that follow us around..:) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14004 Wow! What a reaction, I don't have the know how or time to download a snippet right now but you can go to BarnesandKnoble.com and search and listen to her or utube.com and search for her..I highly recommend you buy it though PEACE http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/6423 It's been awhile, but how is the Bakersfield bellydancing doing lately?? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 The art show was awesome and thanks for watching skip! We had a great time! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14004 yes YES yes. We wanna hear. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 So how was the second weekend? As successful as the first? DETAILS people... anybody that was there.. please... we want DETAILS! I actually got caught up in a bunch of family stuff and was unable to make it. Lili3445... didn't you say you were going this Saturday? How was it? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Hey Bako, I just listened to Podcast #28 with Three Chord Whore. I have two points to make. One, Matt is amazing. He is, shoot from the hip, cool about interviews. The banter is cool, the Q&A seamless. Second, Three Chord Whore is amazing. I would be following them as a Whorehead, or Chordhead, or something, if my life hadn't changed so drastically in the last 5 years. I've known Chantell{sic} since that time I played with Mike P and Roger. She used to play drums for Naked Lady Mud Flap. All I know is that I'm 100% on board, more girls and women and mothers should be expressing themselves through music. I've been in Bako for a while and just now it seems there are good places to play and get shows and a crowd ready for it. Let's take this opportunity and run. I'm ready are you? Brian Raley- electrician, bass player(13YRS) brian_raley@hotmail.com http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Gotta say anything about the Filthis works real well with me. Now the Electronic Artist Nemo he really is cool, hahahahaha http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 eposide 34. Henry with the LOs Lonley boys was awesome!!!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Right on woofwoof! Understood ;) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 ALRIGHT,,I had my son listen in and he LOVES THIS STUFF!:) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Loved Loved eposide 34. Henry with the LOs Lonley boys, how real is he. His love for family was out of this world. He was so honest and real about his feelings, it made me remember that these guys are regular people too. Not only are they stars with a rich sound, but real down to earth guys with a honest love for what they are doing! I loved the fact that they feed the great force of human nature and love of ALL people through their music. Lots of really interesting and inspiring stuff in this eposide. Keep up the fantastic work!!!!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 Great to see the MATT~STER at the gig! We plan to be in full force this Saturday with ALL the artists in attendance (some couldnt make the first Saturday). Come one and all to the best damn artshow in BAKO! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 WOW,,It was awesome and I hope that It will draw more people in this weekend,,I didnt know I WAS POSING FOR THIS hahaha!:) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 its been a long time since i've gotten in tone with adema, but your concert and the song you have, bring back good times!!!! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 I'm going to try to make it this Saturday as well. Last weekend I was out of town and couldn't go. Though I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed that Noveltown's industrial music and film entry, and Hectic's movie Skip won't be there for this Saturday. That was my main reason for wanting to go. But I understand noveltown is busy with the Yosemite Writer's Conference this weekend. They are forgiven, I suppose! LOL And Skip will be on hecticfilms.com website on Halloween so it's all good! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 I'm looking forward to coming back this coming Saturday. I had my daughters with me..... and they were already tired from a night of theatre so we didn't get to spend near long enough although we got to chat a bit with NL, Matildakay, My favorite Artczar A.S. Ashley and the incredible artist, Nyoka and admire some of the artwork, including a cool piece by my friend, Sey DeBondt. This weekend, more time... encore! encore! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14062 A friend of mine died earlier this year. He has communicated with me through messing with my car's electrical system and during rehearsal, he likes to fuss with the lights at the theatre. I acknowledge him every time, which seems to please him. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 Oops, and all the sculpture and assemblage was great too! Although there were repeat pieces from earlier shows, there were new pieces that were very cool and imaginative. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14013 Always good to see the Ska King. Thanks for coming out. There won't be any industrial music or film downstairs for this Saturday though. :( Noveltown was only there for the first Saturday. Thanks for mentioning Dirty Spanglish. He did a great job with the filmwork, as did Hectic Films and all the Noveltown poets who submitted. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Hey, I'm new to this, and really liking it! That podcast is cool. I liked that interview with Los Lonely Boys. They are such a unique band, and have something for everyone! I will definatly be back again, soon, and many times. :) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 I always love hearing anything from The Filthies!!! Thanks! Have a passionate day! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14004 You should add a song from the artist to this post, so we can see and hear what you're talking about..cool? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14012 HA! At first I thought he meant because of the shot of the dude grabbing himself under the pants instead of over until I got to the chonie shot. CLASSIC! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 I SHOULD GO.....CUZ TOOL IS LIKE MY BRO'S.! AND THEIR ONE OF THE BEST BANDS TO BE OUT IN THE LAST TEN YEARS EASY! AND IM JUST SUCH A LIKEABLE GUY! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13802 OMG! Those band name spoofs and their songs are hilarious! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 My fave was when you interviewed the Three Chord Whores. They rock! I must have somehow missed the Idle Revolution one, though. What number is that on? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 The story behind Sterotactic scoring the Warped tour is awesome! It's cool that they got the call directly from Ernie Ball and took the Bakersfield scene on the road in a big way. Here's to Bakersfield artists getting recognized------Cheers! DJ D-Money http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/10798 I'd like to chat with a mature adult, who doubts the conspiracy theorists. I'll never forget watching Bush sitting with school children that morning, because I've never seen him do that again since. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 That band Another Year make me want to light a candle and dance in the dark. And Mento Buru and The Filthies... that would be a cool show. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Alright homie, you get brownie points for trying.. Psssst! Hint, hint: www.bakotopia.com/blog/ http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 I can only hear three words at a time. Some music someone talking about Bakersfield....not very enjoyable. Dial up sucks! I'm not even sure if I listen to the whole thing. It was all choppy. Maybe I'll buy an ipod and download some stuff. Did I still clear the hoop? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Good job, unlessindicated! Now listen to a show, and give us some deets! One more hoop! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 SOmething I have posted something. I jumped throw your hoops in hopes of tickets.... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 I’m diggin’ The Filthies and Another Year podcast. It's been so long since I've heard some local music. Bakotopia, you're doing a great job of keeping the scene alive. Thank you. I can't wait to see if we can all give it a little more CPR and get some blood flowing in Bako's veins! There is so much potential that needs to be united the bring this “scene” together, and I definitely think it’s possible. This website is a great start. P.S. I too didn't even realize that Los Lonely Boys were coming to town! What the heck!! Either we need some better advertising around here, or I’m just living under a rock, but thanks to Bakotopia I'm now in the know! Peace-- http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Just found out through the Podcast from 5 days ago that I'm missing Los Lonely Boys tonight! Now I know I better stay connected to Bakotopia so I don't miss out again! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 I dont know about you but I really enjoyed the Idle Revolution interview, those guys make some seriously great music. Haha. The Rockin Roots fest was pretty decent also. I dont know what you expect to be said, but I listen to the cast so whatev. Peace . Hah http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Paul Rodriguez is so funny still. I remember him staring in Born In East L.A. as the cousin who thinks jesus is talking to him. Oh and Million To Jaun, great movie, funny dude. Way before that hack George Lopez. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14012 For those of you who don't know what Tekwiz is talking about..scroll through the pics and find the mystery photo! BURP! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 Thanks Matt for playing The Filthies song "insomnia." I haven't heard them in a while. I seen them live a few years ago with Temperd, & they had a great performance. is "insomnia" a new song? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 You know what im really liking Rocky Na$h! I keep meaning to catch a live show but im kind of a loner and my one friend is always working haha but I really need to get me a cd. Rocky Nash is my favorite now...since Temperd is no longer around *sigh* Woot http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14901 The lead singer in another year is really drowned out, is it like that in concert or just a bad mix? http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/14012 I guess that beats Mento Buru's drummer Cesareo strip tease during St. Patrick's Day. ALL HAIL CESAREO!!! HAHA http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13802 This is definitely my favorite episode so far. I love the freak twinkie scene... Reminds me of the bathroom episode in Fast Times at Ridgemont High: "Doesn't anyone *#$%~ knock anymore!" http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13657 Hey Matt--the audio on the blogs is just awesome... wanted to let you know... how cool! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13657 inge su madre! This is something to awaken the dormant creatures of my subconscious and allow them to feast on a fancy fantasy of the bizarre. I am ready for this new sensation. Nos vemos ahi! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12710 I guess chapter III of Lards Part 1 was over the top! It was posted for one day and then MIA. If anyone has a copy I could edit it. I think it was by far the funniest one. Rusty http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13499 Whoa, whoa, whoa... I am definitely not using the History of Rock and Roll or the Spotlight as an example of shortcomings in the theatre community. This is about living up to our full buzz potential, remember? The truth of it is, I consider the show a friend and a good example of positive things in the theatre community. This is why I chose it to point out examples of how we can create more buzz...and recall I am primarily addressing the theatreaddict movement and asking for more involvement in what I am trying to do (using podcasts and blogs to get the word out). Yes, there is a tendency in theatre in general to remain insular, and yes that exists somewhat in Bakersfield...but you're right, the Spotlight and HR&R are examples of those bad habits being thrown to the wind. I am fully aware of how hard the cast the cast has worked to sell the show and it has worked! There is a buzz in Bakersfield about it. I simply used them as an example to point out a few easy things that we can do to create more media buzz. That's all... I'm trying to grow a medium that will always be there for theatre to use. So when the TV stations don't have room to put you on, or when a show just doesn't have that kind of appeal we will always have our own means, our own loudspeaker to shout to the moon about the projects we're working on. I want theatreaddict.com to exist 10 years from now, and by then I may have kids and will have passed it along to someone else to run. Anyway...I hope my real points (all positive and loving) weren't overshadowed by an assumed criticism. As I said, I simply want to begin a dialogue about using these new mediums to buzz about theatre. The theatre community has really opened up in the last few years, there is sharing and a mutual love going on that is beautiful. The time is ripe to explode the whole theatre scene into mainstream Bakersfield and I want to start working on that now...with you. And while I am readdressing this whole subject... One reason I wanted to bring this up now is because I see the upcoming "bakotopia" theatre feature as a real opportunity to expand the notoriety of local theatre, and I want you (the theatre community) to take advantage of it with me. Bakotopia is going to be reaching out to us, promoting us, and basically inviting us to start using their site. Bakersfield.com and bakotopia.com have free blogs and are starting communities that are a bit like a mix of myspace and craigslist. The thing is...how cool would it be to have someone browsing the Bakersfield Californian's website and find your blog about your show, and then come to see it? Or perhaps a musician looking at bands on Bakotopia might take a step into local drama. These are opportunities that are coming our way, and I want to be sure that we are all primed and ready to take advantage. That's all! Hugs and kisses to the cast of History of Rock & Roll. You know I love ya. I wouldn't never do ya like that, baby. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12765 You've set yourself up to become addicted to Bakersfield's Myspace...join the club =) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13391 Ahhhh yeah.... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13321 whooo whooooo HEY I know those people. hee hee hee. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 Ocean Avenue is my favorite Yellowcard song.

OMG OMG OMG... ok think, twinkie.... THINK.. favorite song... favorite... hmmmm let me think..... ok OK ok.. Samuel Adams. Oh wait.. that's my favorite beer. Damn.... let me think about this. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 My favorite Yellowcard song is "Ocean Avenue". I glad to hear that they are coming to visit our city. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 Yellow Card is an up and still rising success in music. My favorite song would have to be "Only One" Althougth The song " Lights & Sound" Follows a Close second. I gotta see them live! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 I like “Ocean Avenue” from the same titled album. I know, I know… but not just because it made it to radio… because I have some awesome memories of me and my friends belting it out at the top of our lungs as we drove the streets of Bako like maniacs on Saturday nights! My apologies to anyone who might have been subjected to our horrible singing…but we had a blast! “Stayin up all niiiiiight!” http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 "one year six months" is my fiavcorite ycard song because the ritle remdins me of a recent period in my life. i like "home" too becasue those 18 months brought me there. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15444 I love yellowcard! If you go to their website (yellowcardrock.com) you can hear "down on my head" my fave song by the group! Everyone should check it out, they rock! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12740 Second that. Josh at Manakin on North Chester is a genius with the needle. He is working on a coverup for me right now and it's turning out awesome. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12740 Mannakin Tattoo on North Chester. http://tattooninja.com They do piercings there too though. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12740 I think most of our local tattoo places are clean and respectable. I suggest you take a visit around town, and ask to be shown around. I'm sure if they're proud of what they do, they'd want to help you out..Good luck.. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 I WOULD MOST DEF LOVE TO ATTEND THE CONCERT! iHOPE I WIN!!:) P.S I LOVE YOUR CONTESTS!!!:) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13007 oops... I forgot to say... you guys need to do the acoustic thing more often. And Rudy and Carlos need to be a permanent addition to your band. They are awesome! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13007 Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! Last night was soooooooo much fun. Man, I need to get out more. I am still smiling ear-to-ear thinking about it. I will bet Fish Lips has never had so many people up and dancing so much. My legs are killin' me! Good excercise. Who knew Mr. Matt Munoz had some moves? LOL Get low, get low..... hahahaha AND I scored a MAS magazine beer sleeve. AND a key chain bottle opener. SWEET! My sister is in love with you guys now. Your performance was mucho-excellent! You have created a new Mento Buru groupie. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 I would love to take my little nephew Luis to this show. We watch the novela everyday and he really loves them. He's kind of disappointed he can't go because we can't afford it. So, if I win these for him, it would really make his day!! Thanks for the opportunity. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 HOW did I NOT see this contest? My brother spent $300 on crapty(nice typo, right?) I mean CRAPPY seats. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 RBD Rockz! I want to win these tickets because I want to take my daughter. The tickets were too darn expensive to buy ($85.00), this would be one great concert to attend and make a lasting memory with my daughter. Thankz http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 Hi Matt, sign me up for the contest and this concert will force me to learn some good Spanish. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/15447 Hey Matt, I'd love to win these tix. Take care. Ciao, Wendy ;-))) http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/13042 OMG First Darren and now Lance Bass? What's next? TOM CRUISE? Oh wait... we already knew that. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12982 Thanks again for drawing the pictures of our kids. My wife and I enjoy both the pieces. If anyone's reading this and you're considering having a drawing done you won't be disappointed.. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12761 I was actually thinking... if the marketplace hosted more family friendly events the tough kids would find a new place to hang out. But if they are not going to do that, then they need to hire security that looks like security, not cute little boys who look like they are out past their bedtime! http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12761 Thats your first problem, you were there on a Thursday night, not a Friday. The tough kids aren't allowed to go out on Thursdays. And the Security Guards are douchebags. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12855 a good reflective piece of writing... http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12761 I was at the marketplace last night with my 16 year old son and his 15 year old cousin. And I have to say, it looked really family friendly. This security guard came up to us and smiled and asked how we were doing and I thought that was sweet. I also thought it was cool that they hire twelve year olds for security guards. Ok, so maybe he wasn't twelve but he sure did look it. LOL http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12855 That was beautiful Cesario. Thank you so much for that. You have spoken out loud words we often think but maybe never say out loud. David was a great person and he will be missed. I have often told my husband that when I die want a Mariachi to play at my funeral. I want everyone to be happy for me and I want to be cremated as well! He used to be against it until I convinced him it was MY celebration of a new life, not his and if he didn't follow them I'd haunt him. hahaha http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12761 Parenting has to start early on and if not, you'll be lucky to get something going later. You cant pop in with rules and shite 10 years later and expect it to take. At least not in a traditional manner. I know from personal experience, I'm just lucky to be intelligent enough to know whats a good path and a bad path. http://www.bakotopia.com/home/ViewPost/12888 it was an amazing show. I was there and I'll be there next time to see the SikWorld circus. though I am not a fan of the type of music that was there that night, I must say, Stitch and Divided By Zero were really good and I recommend everyone check them out.
