Absolutely insane. Movie stopped like 10 minutes early. Lights on, manager came out told people to leave. No proposed remedy, just sorry we need y'all to clear out for the next show. Crazy shit. Manager trying his best, but damn

Edit, Esquire downtown Sacramento. They gave us the card of the theater director 🙃

Gift link. Our video player can be wonky, here's the Youtube link.

If you've never heard of the idea before it's basically an adult art social event where you meet up and agree to just be silly with it. It's about breaking out the pipe cleaners and crayons, hot glue guns and colored pencils, or air dry clay and water based markers and just creating for creating sake; Talent, not needed.

I've wanted to do something like this in the past but never got the chance (I lived in the midwest country) but now that I'm officially transplanted to Sacramento I thought I'd give it an interest check and maybe a go?

I'd be open to hosting it somewhere local like a bar or cafe or even at my art studio if we wanted to do more of a BYO-whatever kind of thing and I'd donate art supplies/paper to get us started (though you can always bring your own). I was thinking about doing it biweekly on Mondays or Wednesdays (my days off) at a time I don't know yet but if there's interest I'd be down for whenever!

Honestly y'all, I just want an excuse to chit chat and meet chill people while tracing turkey hands or doodling a cool S (You know, *artsy* things), and I fully believe that making Bad art is better than making no art (or god forbid AI "art") so if this kind of thing might interest you maybe drop a comment below and we can get it started?

Edit: Woah! Okay, seems like the interest is certainly there 😂. Cool y'all, I'll start figuring things tomorrow!!

Asked about the ongoing protests and concerns during an unrelated press conference in Sacramento Tuesday afternoon, Newsom said he believes returning to the office benefits employees and communities.

"I don't know if it's time of life or state of mind, but I'm deeply mindful that we have a lot of crises in this country. One of them is crisis of loneliness. People not feeling connected. I want people to come back to work, reengage, rediscover, collaborate, coordinate, develop relationships, friendships, fall in love."

What is known is extremely little. My buddy found this dog and looking for his owners. Seems to be young and have a lot of "firsts" (stairs, getting in cars, etc).
Has been a stray for some time and my buddy finally got him. He is still intact and extremely docile. Clean teeth. Apparently his mate was hit by a car. Has been treated for worms and given frontline. Please reach out if you know the dog, and even if you're interested in fostering to adopt... My buddy has 3 already and not too sure if his intent is on keeping if owner can't be located but to have all avenues covered is typically the approach he likes using. Will post more photos as they become available. Found in Midtown area

fun times in the nor cal!

My family always goes at least once a year, something interesting to do, something fun for the kids, but this year it just seems lackluster. Thankfully we buy a ticket pack ahead of time from Costco and go on Tuesday for $2 rides.

What happened to all the 4H? Most of the animal barns were empty, nothing in the pens outside. Mostly it was just goats and not very many at that, and I think we saw 3 cows in total. No pigs, no rabbits, no fowl.

Exhibits, aside from the Tutankhamun, were pretty boring. The Rustic Charm and Candy Maze are just sales floors. The Wild Word Adventure was... I think Seaquest was better. Amazed America 250th I thought was going to be some sort of semiquincentennial, but it was just a big cardboard maze that reminded me I used to enjoy the Wooz as a kid. Then you had something about low rider culture, a two different art displays.

Stages shows were pretty unspectacular. I've seen the hypnotist enough times it is no longer interesting. There was a seal show, and dog show but both pretty squarely in in the sun. The one that was really strange was the Tree Circus Show in the forest... I don't know what it was supposed to be, like a group of arborists talking about trees and nothing circus about it, and not really a show at all.

And of course the prices for food and drink are ridiculous. That's not new but it's getting worse. We bring our own snacks and some waters, and usually when it's hot we will use the tables in front of the cinnamon roll place inside one of the buildings, and they were advertising a 6-pack of cinnamon rolls for $49.

Also mildly disappointing I was expecting some big semiquincentennial display or something. Understandably I really didn't feel like there has been a lot to celebrate this year, but I was expecting something.

The River Cats' lefty has been up and down with San Francisco three times this year, and every time he's returned to Sacramento, he's pitched better, not worse. His last start at home: five shutout innings, eight strikeouts, a win over Albuquerque. This week's Triple Dip has the full breakdown of what's actually holding him back and why the changeup alone should get him another shot.

So.... a few years back, I'd always go to Shari's Restaurant in Greenhaven to get Pancakes. I honestly didn't think they were all that great, until they closed down and I had to find a replacement. I did think they were certainly solid.... and good, but not spectacular.

Then I moved to Midtown and started to go to Pancake Circus for proximity reasons. At first, everything was awesome. Pancake Circus was doing thick and fluffy pancakes just like Shari's was. So, I stopped driving all the way to Shari's.

However, after about a year or so, the pancakes at Pancake Circus changed pretty dramatically. Instead of being somewhat oversized, thick and fluffy, they became rather pathetic if I'm being completely honest. Thin as can be, boring, and run of the mill. Basically lowest common denominator pancakes like iHop or something.

I kept going to Pancake Circus hoping it was a one off bad experience, but nope... it's the new normal. I finally stopped going to Pancake Circus because it was too depressing every time I'd get home and open the styrofoam packaging (I normally just get pancakes ala carte, to go) . I'm on the frugal side and I'm not trying to pay $20 to also taste some below par bacon and sausage.

Anywho.... here I am, dreaming of some good pancakes, but I have no idea where to go that's within a decent driving distance. I absolutely love Mimi's Cafe pancakes, even though they don't make them super huge or super fluffy. They still have a taste that is pretty spectacular. Problem is, Mimi's in both Natomas and Arden area closed down. I think there's one in Elk Grove and Folsom, but I'm not driving that far just to get some legit pancakes. There has to be a better way, lol.

What say you.... Sacto foodies?

I am looking for a house to rent in Citrus Heights/antelope/foothillfarms/even north highlands asap. 2200-2400/month. My credit sucks but I do make a very good living and I have faithfully paid my rent at the same residence for 12 years.

I don’t know what else to do, I don’t have a co-signer, and I really am hoping I’ll come across someone kind who has a property to rent to a single mama who really needs someone to take a chance on me.

My 12 year old son and I went to Bartley Cavanaugh golf course for our 6:15am tee time this morning (Wednesday). I try to go midweek and early if possible to avoid the heat and the crowds. We're regulars at Bing Maloney and are there weekly. I'm by no means a pro, but I'm getting better and I don't really practice swing much before a shot. My boy struggles a bit, but we go right to our balls and hit them without delay.

Today, we had a weird twosome mixed with a threesome in front of us, so 5 guys playing. On hole 4, one of them left a club behind, so i drove it ahead to them while we were waiting for them to leave the green. Behind us were 3 old men playing from the closest tees, and they were on our ass. All three of them learing at us while my kid tops another shot because he doesn't like the pressure of everyone watching him.

The carts there have GPS and will tell you if you're behind or ahead of the pace of play. We were 52 minutes ahead! And waiting for the group in front of us.... Out of nowhere, a marshal pulls up and gets very stern, telling us to "play ready golf". I told him i don't take practice swings and we've been waiting for a group in front of us. He yells over me that they're going to busy today and we're holding everyone up. I point to the timer that has us 52 minutes ahead of our schedule. He just said to "keep up or else" and pulled away while I was talking.

The marshal at the turn was cool and helped us out. I talked to the guy at the desk which was shocked and gave me half a round for free. Kinda wish he gave me another 18 for free because it really ruined the experience for me.

By the way, we finished a 3:50 round, which i think is pretty decent.

For BC regulars... are they always this insane over there?

Join us for native plant stewardship and an iNaturalist observation hunt!

Can't make it this week? Check out our future stewardship, naturalism, and community science projects and events here: https://luma.com/sacvalleystewards.

Just ran into a couple of guys at OPB saying they’re opening a video store around there. Anyone else hear anything about that? I’m down. I miss my Hollywood Video days.

Does anyone know if there’s another RC store nearby? I used to go here when I was in community college when I cannot afford these toys. Now that I am 50 and have a little more money, I want to relive my childhood dreams. Thanks

I need a job pretty much asap but I don’t know where to look. I am 20 and in the Folsom area. I don’t want to do retail or fast food so I’m looking for any laborer jobs in any trade just as long as there’s always work. What sites/locations, companies, or people should I be looking and talking to for work? I can travel from Placerville to Rancho and Sacramento. Any advice will be appreciated, thank you.

19th and T light rail trains going by every 1-2 minutes, honking the whole time. Gates have been down for atleast 20 minutes with cars backed up down T street

Does anyone know around what time Esquire Theatre drops new showtimes/tickets?
