Dancing With The Heat: Summer '16
Johnny Quiroz

The heat, hate it or love it, welcomes Fresno every year with open arms. We cannot run from it, cannot hide, nor can we fast forward the long, hot, sweaty summer, so what do you do? You celebrate the heat in all it’s glory at Summer Sweat.

This is a time to bring your empty stomach, bring out the best pair of dancing shoes you own, and ears open to the artists and bands that will be performing live. The hottest event of the summer is not to be missed. Summer Sweat is three to four events that run from June through October. Started in 2015 by Love the Captive, Summer Sweat features various artists and bands, food trucks, and vendors. Johnny Quiroz of Love the Captive describes Summer Sweat, in a zany way, he describes it as "a chance for us Fresnans to celebrate Fresno and it’s heat.” If you’re from Fresno, the heat is no stranger. Fresno’s summer temperatures can be as high as 108 degrees. To some, that may be unsettling, but Love the Captive brings something different to Fresno’s very hot summer. They throw multiple long summer parties in the Central Valley celebrating the heat.

Love the Captive is no secret to the Central Valley, founded in 2005, Love the Captive (aka Johnny Quiroz) has booked artists such as, The Growlers, Smoosh, Mayer Hawthorne, Skating Polly, Future Islands, Smoke Season, Saint Motel, Little Dragon, and many more. Love the Captive has brought, and, still continues to bring great musicians to Fresno. Summer Sweat is an even bigger and better experience of what Love the Captive continues to bring to the Central Valley. This year, Catacomb Party and Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company join in on the hottest all-ages party of the summer at just a $10 cover fee for each event. The event started June 25 and featured, just to name a few, Smoke Season, Judah, Sharks of Dance, CHYNA, and Wee Beasties. In case you missed Volume I, there is still time to catch Volume II of the event on July 30 which will feature, drum-roll please...a water-slide.

Volume II of Summer Sweat will be held at Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Company located in Downtown Fresno. To add more excitement, Tioga-Sequoia has award winning Brewmaster, Kevin Cox (Tioga-Sequoia). So, not only are you gaining a music, food, and shopping experience, those who are 21+, will have the opportunity to drink local craft beer from Tioga-Sequoia.

The event starts at 1:00 pm and ends at midnight, that is 11 hours of pure magic to your ears. Summer Sweat brings artists and bands from Fresno, Oakland, Palm Desert, Detroit, Las Vegas, and many more. The day will start with Fresno’s 1800’s and end the night with headliners Black Milk and Fierce Creatures, a local band who started it all with I Mostri Feroci. Fresno's summer should no longer be a season that is dread upon. Instead, it is a reason to go out and enjoy music, eat great food, drink local beer, shop, and meet new people. End your summer right, attend Summer Sweat. For more details, please visit, www.Summersweat.party

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.
