Swede Fest, Tower Theatre, Art Hop, Fresno

We are happy to have back Roque & Brian to talk about this year's Swede Fest film festival happening at the Tower Theatre in December. 

Totally get into what it's like booking something at the Tower Theatre, post (all the things that happened), and get all the details of this year's Swede Fest.

Also, take the temperature of Art Hop and try to decide if Art Hop today is in good shape or if it needs a reset.
