Greetings Fresco fans!

The season has finally turned over, just three days before the second anniversary of our opening. In keeping with our Renaissance theme, I'm writing to you on our newly christened server, Kepler, as the sun sets on our original host, Dante.

After a few technical setbacks on the old system, I'm going to be working on getting the a customer appreciation (read: free as in beer/wine) configured and the streaming system fixed, so check back here in the coming weeks.

We've added support for Twitter!

You can follow us on @PeelFresco for blog updates, newsletter publications, and general bar notifications.

Talk atcha,
Guy

Good to finally say I'm back on Peel Street after a long charity drive from Turkey to Mongolia! The fundraiser at Fresco was a real success before that with all your support, and I can see that things have been running well in the meantime... It's a packed night here for a Saturday, and the upcoming Pao / Lo show has already drawn quite a lot of booking interest!

Hope to see you all soon, and look for the new website here soon!

Gi Gi is in town from Canada doing her thing this Friday, which involves soulful jazz with Charisma:

and the Soul Crusaders are going on a double header, this time with some sax. Catch the newsletter for some more!

Quick study jazz pianist Allen Youngblood is back in town with his Quartet this Friday, and Peter Scherr has written a special set to debut at Fresco. More in the fresh off the press News Letter...

Been a bit busy with the new double door (/curtain!) and the noise attenuating improvments at the bar, but the newsletter is out, and we're happy to welcome back Spanish saxophonist Miguel Fernandez with keyboard heavyweight Ted Lo on Friday, March 13th, and Eugene Pao with his smoking fast jazz guitar on Saturday, March 14th.

Cheers!

Greetings!

Just a quick info note on some tech updates at Fresco. The February calendar is online for V-Month* including the "Music for Lovers" night and Eugene Pao's Friday the 13th concert. We also had some luck last night on open mic night with the new video streaming setup, with a reasonable audio recording captured on our Gentoo box. Feel free to write in to the info account on our newsletter if you would like to take part in the prerelease alpha and beta trials before the expected public beta at the end of the month.

Henry Chung takes the stage at Fresco to begin our 2009 season:

We have a double header of holidays for the season! Karissa Muse takes New Year's Eve while the revivalist organ trio the Soul Crusaders take New Year's Day:

Happy holidays from Fresco.
