Newsletter - Happy New Year's Edition!

Here we are peeps - 2009! Your hangover is gone, the New Year’s outfit you spent all your hard earned money on is a mess, and hopefully not still thrown in the corner of your bedroom!

So now what? I’ll tell you what! Get up and be somebody!

Like the dudes on this week’s cover - the Hollywood Chihuahuas beer pong team. Yes, there is actually an official sport based on two of Bako’s favorite pastimes - beer & balls. Now hold on, before you think this is some bizarre homo-erotic fetish (we live in sensitive times, hush your mouth), there’s more to this story!

Sports in Bakersfield is huge - team rivalries in football, basketball and maybe soccer. On any given Sunday, you will find one of the local pubs packed and louder than your own home.

Now, we have beer pong - a drinking game played with pingpong balls and plastic beer cups. Best of all, anyone can play, and you don’t need to use beer. But can you imagine downing a 2-liter bottle of root beer after a match? That’s disgusting, stick to the beer.

We also have local comedy, the ‘80s, books, Kathy Griffin and live pix from the crazy Feliz Skavidad show and more.

Thanks to our contributors, and our fantabulous advertisers who keep us free for you and yours every issue. Show them some love by spending some duckets, and tell them Bakotopia sent you!

Congratulations to our new President Barack Obama on 1/20/09!
