Sacramento Scene Blog

Together, we CAN make a difference... in the quality of your weekends.
I've been given the daunting task of helping you find fun, exciting and frankly not-lame things to do on your time off. And, considering my idea of a good time is hitting the bowling alley with a "Governator" t-shirt, and some spiffy rented shoes, I need your help.
If you've watched Fox40 Morning News in the last month... (everyone should be doing this by the way)... you've seen my fabulous "Sacramento Scene" feature, detailing what's hot and new in our city by the river(s).
What I'm hoping to establish here is an idea exchange... I scratch your back, you tell me and our viewers where to hang out on the weekends. You get the idea.
I'll tell you where I've been and what I think of those places... and you, if you'd be so kind, do the same.
I pride myself on checking out new restaurants, activities and nightclubs and giving reviews of each to my friends. Now you get the benefit as well... try to contain yourself.
That said... so I checked out the Rivercats Home Opener Friday night. My first semi-pro baseball experience. And I must say, I loved every minute of it. The game, even though the Cats lost, was thrilling. The food, especially those garlic fries, quite tasty. (I sampled the jumbo dog, nachos with chili and cheese and garlic fries). My favorite part was watching the fans. People really got in to the game. And I also liked the activities between each inning. I'm always up for a chance to win free stuff!
After that I scooted over to "Rick's", that dessert diner on K Street in mid-town. Delish! Although it was a tad overcrowded, there was adequate seating. I had the chocolate caramel mousse pie with the oreo crust.
So, how was your weekend? Go anywhere I might want to check out?
