I’ve been receiving a lot of e-mails lately from out-of-towners who seem to be amazed by what they read about Bakersfield in Bakotopia magazine.
Everyone from former locals, to our military servicemen and women across the globe fighting the good fight, or just random web surfers - it’s always nice to get a message thanking us for keeping them up to date with what’s happening back home. And not just about events happening in town, they love discovering new places to go when they visit: new restaurants, tattoo shops …
Bako does have a pulse, and it’s about time we get our piece of the national praise pie!
Our city tends to get a bad rap from the critics - most of whom usually pass judgment based on one bad cup of coffee at a local diner during a quick stop off the freeway.
As we know, those critics obviously don’t live in Bako…
This issue is guaranteed to keep Bako critics back in their caves, and give our readers what they came for.
Chase has this week’s cover story with a great interview featuring Zach Lind, drummer for emo rock outfit Jimmy Eat World, and tons more from all of our talented Bakotopia.com users.
For all the book fiends out there, Rubiconreader interviewed author Eric Jerome Dickey; we have information about an upcoming art show to benefit a sister in need; Greg Goodsell is back with another hilarious observational piece that only Greggy can pull off; and a coda to our previous “Bakersfield Sound” issue. We had so many great contributions, we had to make sure they made it into your precious little hands this issue.
As always, THANK YOU to all of our advertisers and everyone who came out on St. Paddy’s Day - what a night we had!
Take that, Bakersfield critics!
