Catching a show

Your mom and I live with a friend of ours, Jamie. He's a talented rap artist who is one half of the Argyle Pimps, a remarkable rap group based here in Fresno. They carry quite a following in town, and their shows are always a great time, so we often make it a point to go see him perform whenever we can. This show was at the Starline, a cool little venue in the Tower District, where much of the Pimps' fanbase is located.

Your mom waxes philosophical with her friend, Nkauhnue.
The Fierce Creatures, a catchy indie act also from Fresno, have a really powerful and complex sound. They opened for the Argyle Pimps and impressed us.
Jamie (far left) and his rap partner Boney, perform with a band. With the live band it always brings a whole new joy to their already great stuff.
