After a small break, The Sacramento Press will be back at Cesar Chavez Park, 10th and J Streets, for Concerts in the Park featuring Kate Gaffney. This free, all-ages outdoor concert series will run every Friday until Aug.13. This week’s show runs from 5-8 p.m. with acts Juliana Zachariou, Autumn Sky, Gerald Please and headliner Kate Gaffney featuring a full, live band. In its 19th year, Friday Night Concerts in the Park still attracts huge crowds from all walks of life. Interesting vendors, ... tonyn midtownchair comment-33070 2010-07-19T00:45:42Z 2010-07-19T00:45:42Z Fremont Park is staying busy. The Cyclefest at the park today (Sunday) was very cool. Lots of amazing bikes - all kinds including cruisers, choppers, etc....and a fun crowd. Definitely something very midtown. I hope they bring this back because it was a great first time for this event. midtownchair 2010-07-19T00:45:42Z A Yoni comment-33037 2010-07-18T04:38:04Z 2010-07-18T04:38:04Z <I was happily surprised to see a bunch of people in Freemont park watching live musicians yesterday afternoon. In the middle of the day on a weekday? Could this be the upside of the recession?> Um, no. No one has jobs which is why they have have the weekdays off to be there and since it's free, that's all the more attraction for a down economy. As far as they bands, they're struggling too and are most likely willing to take any amount of small pay, or even work for free just to get their names out there in the hopes of being "discovered" or getting asked to do bigger gigs. The recession is still very much alive.

In the middle of the day on a weekday? Could this be the upside of the recession? I have a short blog post about that idea here: http://blog.ajwilhelm.net/archives/6 - might be an interesting discussion. Alan Wilhelm 2010-07-16T21:21:22Z
