Gallo Center
Hello all it saddens me to tell you that Mojo is back in the hospital in ICU at the moment. I spoke with him late last night and he as always is more concerned keeping you guys up to date with the happenings in the area then himself so I am ghost writing for him today. So here goes it..whoops? is that a sentence? haha...

From my ModestoArtx Blog. I got into this gig from attending Rachel Renae opener at Wanderlust, drawing my good friend of California Bass Alliance, doing solo bass, Andy Cervantes as usual when he's playing, I'm there with pen, and friends from Chartreuse Muse were there, and recruited me to join them, as someone who draws fast caricatures. So, my thanks to Megan for contacting me on their recommendation to do the show, as it was fun, got a place to show some of my watercolors for sale, make some new friens with Symphony Association, promote art with OTHER ARTISTS in area, as I've enjoyed attending their life drawing group at Chartreuse Muse as well, and they've been on the Third Thursday Art Walk, often one of my destinations before I helped do the State Theatre event to join them.
Talked to Brook last night, at Cheroots on Tenth Street, downtown Modesto, getting some smokes, and been good to have Johnny and Kelly playing live on Thursdays, 9 to Midnight, but would love a turnout to see our guys. Across from the Chartreuse Muse, where I go for the life drawing group, and its on the Art Walk Third Thursdays like we are at State Theatre, about the time we wrap Up, MUSIC begins at Cheroots. Catch them after the David Lynch double feature for Thursday Theme night at the State this week.
We have all been waiting a long time for The Gallo Center for the Arts to open and it appears that the wait is almost over. The doors should open in September and when they do, there will be a huge variety of events already scheduled.
The Gallo Center for the Arts has requested some additional funding from the City of Modesto to get the project completely paid for. They have already raised over $20,000,000 privately and now need an additional $8,000,000 to come in to existence with no debt load.
