Titans Baseball Tonight vs UCLA - 6pm
If your looking for something to do tonight, head over to Goodwin Field on the CSUF campus for the Titans vs. Bruins baseball game. Tickets are under $20 and its free for students. They rarely sell out, which is a shame because we have one of the best college baseball teams in the History of NCAA baseball. Year after year the Titans are nationally ranked and this year is no exception. The problem is UCLA is also nationally ranked, should be a good game.

Farmers Market & Beer Garden
All summer long the city of Fullerton hosts a really cool farmers market. You can take your kids and your dog to this outdoor event. There are vendors set up selling all the stuff you would expect from a farmers market, veggies, fruit, nuts, flowers, and jerky to name a few. They also have hot food vendors selling everything roasted corn to tri-tip sandwiches. There a few jeweler, craft, anc clothing vendors selling product. The biggest hit is the beer garden, there is something great about drinkin beer in the sun. The line might look long but it moves fast. Also, they usually have a band playing which is a nice touch. It is every thursday from 4-8:30 during daylight savings time. Located on Wilshire just east of Harbor, see you there.

Unauthorized Bar Review - Bourbon Street
Bourbon Street has a pretty cool 80's night going on Wednesdays. They hav a $5 Big Ass Beer special too. You pay $10 for your first beer in a very large take-home cup and it is only $5 for re-fills, any beer on tap. The DJ plays a mix of 80's and early 90's hip-hop, rock, funk, etc. I can remember hearing Kool Moe D, Madonna, Beastie Boys, Bobby Brown, and many others with some classic rock songs thrown in for good measure. There isn't a huge crowd, but it is enough to have a good time and the bro/bra ratio is good. I would have to say that Bourbon Street is the best place to go on Wed nights in DTF.
Bourbon Street is basically on the corner of Harbor and Commonwealth on the southeast side.

Taco Tuesday
Downtown Fullerton has no shortage of good bar specials on Tuesday nights. A couple places even have $1 tacos. Taco Tuesday has been around a long time, but it started in Fullerton with Rockin Taco Cantina. Tuesdays at Rockin Taco were quite the specticale, with long lines, dance floor, DJ, taco carts, and tough guy bouncers. You had to get there early and there was never a shortage of people ready to party. The key to this whole promotion was the $2 coronas. Well, about a year ago Rockin Taco got their liquor liscense pulled because underage girls were getting into their bar. Now The Matador has taken over and they still offer the $2 coronas. I can't say how the crowd is there because I haven't been there on a Tuesday since the change, but it is probably still a great time. Other bars in the area hav also adopted the $2 Corona and you can now get drunk for less than $20 at several places including Revolucion and Back Alley. One thing is for sure, if you are in Downtown Fullerton on a Tuesday and the bar you at doesn't have a $2 promotion, you better go to a different bar.

Lakers about to sweep Jazz.....where to watch the game
There is only one "Sports Bar" in Downtown Fullerton, Stadium Tavern on Wilshire just west of Harbor. It is a pretty good place to take in a game, but it is pretty small, so for big games get there early becuase it can get packed. They have basic bar food, a good slection of beers, cute waitresses, and plenty of TVs.
The best plce to catch a game in DTF is Roscoes on Commonwealth Blvd. They recently expanded and I think they have more big screen TVs than any other place is Downtown Fullerton. They have a great selection of beers, including Arrogant Bastard (my fav), and their sandwiches are huge. Try the Titan, its the best thing on the menu.
The last place I would reccoemend in Bigs. It is not in Downtown, but a few minutes down the road and you have a better menue, huge TVs, and more beers to choose from. They are on State College and Chapman. Bigs also has a Wii room with a couch and coffee table which is a nice touch.

Mothers Day in Fullerton
I know its a little late to talk about where to go on Mothers Day in Downtown Fullerton, but you can use this info for anytime you want to have a nice dinner. The restaurants I am going to suggest are not in my top 10 becasue I generally like a more casual dining experience, but there places are perfect for a nicer option.
The Matador is on Harbor south of Chapman on the west side. The food is excellent. I usually judge mexican places by their salsa and this place has some of the best freshly made salsa I have ever had. The atmosphere is nicer than most mexican restaurants, but don't stay too late, the drinking crowd starts to show up around 9.
Mulberry Street is also a nice option. I have never eaten there, so I can't vouch for the food, but the atmosphere is very cool. This place will score points becasue it is kind of a hidden gem. It is on Wilshire just west of Harbor.

E-40 at the Grove of Anaheim
Okay, I know this isn't in Fullerton, but it is close enough and it is quite rare to have a rap superstar like E-40 come to orange county and perform a small venue. Gonna be a dope show, if your in the area I think tix are still available. Google the grove of anaheim to find website.
Bay Area icon E-40 will perform at the Grove of Anaheim on Saturday, May 8.
E-40 is a rap innovator, a business-savvy tycoon and one of the music industry’s most consistent success stories. He is probably best known as a slang creator, a man whose distinctive gift of gab gets lifted and used in the rhymes of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and others. Now, the man with the terrific tongue returns with his most polished product to date, the imaginatively titled The Ball Street Journal.

Fullerton Skatepark Closed
The fullerton skatepark is closed, this is what the city has posted on their website. "As of March 3, the Skate Park at Independence Park is temporarily closed for potential repairs, to address several safety concerns, and for consideration of future plans for the facility." That does not sound good to me, they might get rid of it altogether. They may have closed it because of the graffiti problem. Once again, the actions of a few ruin the fun for a larger group. The problem is that skaters were not the ones doing the graffiti, why punish them. If you want to do something about it, contact the city at - (714) 738-6575 or at parks@ci.fullerton.ca.us - Skateboarding is not a crime
