Hey y'all. I'm currently being a good citizen and doing some jury duty, but it's Thursday -- the first Thursday of the month, actually -- and Fresno is hopping. So it's my second civic duty to bust out some shout-outs:

-- Shout-out to El Olio Wolof, the Merced indie/folk band who plays pretty often in Fresno. They're the featured band at the post-ArtHop indie show at Tokyo Garden tonight. This time is special -- El Olio just released its new CD, "A Tedious Task," and this will be the Fresno CD release party. The CD is really good, so I have reason to believe the show will follow the pattern. Don't believe me? Ask the S.F. Chronicle. [Flier]

-- Shout-out to ArcHop, ArtHop's architectural cousin. Tonight there's an ArcHop event focusing on award-winning designs. It's starting at 5 p.m. at Broadway Studios. If you're not sold already, the nice people of Charlotte's Bakery will be serving up goodies. More words over here.

-- Shout-out to local artist Teresa Flores. I know I'm the not the art guy, but her work really caught my eye at the Rogue Festival. She's currently showing over at Broadway Studios and for tonight's ArtHop she'll be showing a four-minute video she made titled "Joy," about a 12-year-old growing up in Southeast Fresno.

-- Again, I'm not the art guy, but shout-out to another local artist -- Edward Stewart. He's a blogger too, but for the purposes of this post, he's showing at Cafe Corazon during ArtHop tonight. Bonus: Cafe Corazon is also awesome. [Flier]

-- Shout-out to Full Circle Brewing Co. One of my favorite downtown spots is celebrating its eighth anniversary on Friday. The party is what you'd expect -- beer and music. Suicide Lounge is playing. Pick up Friday's 7 for more. [Flier]
