Nevermind the Bollocks, here's the...

Newsletter...Summertime Blues, NOT! Issue!

Bakotopians have done it again!

Standing by our motto of “letting the reader drive,” this issue is packed with enough coolness to help ease the summertime blues - we mean it when we say, “Not if we can help it!”

If you’re a registered user at Bakotopia.com, I’m sure you’ve become very familiar with my e-blasts keeping you in the loop with events and shout-outs for stories and pics.

This time around, my e-mail box was packed with enough stories for two issues - bravo! And all under a common theme - summer.

Theater reviews, previews, comedy shows, music, reminders of what you missed. Next year, you’d better not miss the Thunder Run - wait ‘til you see the pics!

One of the highlights in this issue is this week’s cover.

Bakotopia readers come from all walks of life, and our cover photographer for this issue is 17-year-old photographer and Frontier High senior Amanda Geis, who contacted me about contributing some art for an upcoming issue. I admired her persistency and professionalism - how could we say no?

So after a couple phone calls about concepts and ideas, she delivered a great shot that summed up life in Bakersfield during the summer months - music, skateboards, and lots of flip flops. If you’ve just graduated from high school or you’re on college break, take a tip from Amanda and get active for the remainder of the summer.

You don’t have to be a photographer, musician, or artist either - events need people, so get off that computer. You’ll save yourself from carpal tunnel syndrome, bad eyesight, and probably save your relationship in the process - no joke!

On the plus side, reading is fundamental. So as you read our precious magazine, rest assured you are feeding your brain safely - the Bakotopia way.

Have a safe and sane Fourth of July - and let freedom ring, baby!
