Maybe Mojo's flickr group, and shootenpicsbob want in on new show, sports theme coming up. Latest email from gallery guru. Photographers' Gallery, great stop to see on Third Thursday Art Walk, especially en route to or after State Theatre. They put out good food,

Alzheimer's Benefit with the Sensations at Clayton's tonight. If you weren't there, missed a great show with Big Earl and the Crying Shame. People playing bass and guitar up on the furniture, dancing going on, Mitch cameo appearance...... over at Minnie's Mystery Dinner, Kyle Barker on piano as Too Tall Tim, murder everywhere..... but tonight, its Doo Wop and fundraiser for good cause. Might as well add a mini review to blog with poster notice, as so few comment here anymore.

Our friend Penny White of the Sensations, sent us this flyer, for worthy event and fundraiser for the Alheimer's Affililates of Stanislaus County, November 9th, at Clayton's at 1016 H Street.  Come on out, support a good cause.

New theme for this month is Black and White at the Photographers' Gallery at 13th and J Street, attached to Camera Center next door. This is nonprofit gallery, has workshops as well, so if into photography, stop in, and check that out too, get on their gallery guru email list, which note below is from. Often think their cuisine on art walk night first rate too.

Women's Business Networking Group meetings (men are welcome too) are held on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at Deva Cafe, 1202 J St., Modesto.

Breakfast is at 9 a.m. and the meeting starts at 9:30.

I thought Chris Ricci wrote a great piece on some important considerations on downtown Modesto entertainment district and importance to the economy, what additional help from City, et al might further help this cause.

Hello Modesto Famous Readers. Some of you know that our nonprofit fundraiser choice for Modesto Blues Festival and United Community Walk, is NAMI Stanislaus, stands for National Alliance on Mental Illness. Its not the only volunteer group I work with on this topic, but in resuming my work in art, I won't deny, I've been a downtown area resident who has been in crisis before, such my friends, family noiced, and so here is something to note.

If you're an artist, have art to show, show and display only, show and sell, contact any venue on the art walk map, and find out if you can show and sell there for Art Walk, or whole month.

Copper Rhino, J Street Antique Emporium, Concetta through the Tango Dance Club or talk to Paul, Bang Bang Studios, and others on the map, including Crow Trading, Modesto Virtual, Good Dog, seeking ART.....

Email from my friend Joyce with NAMI Stanislaus on their portion of the Modesto Blues FEstival United Community Walk, which will have other art, Recovery groups, friends, walkers of all sorts, remember Relay for Life is the following weekend (ask efren) and come out and join us. Have acoustic music lunch in the Bowl with Joe Barretta, then at 1 p.m, the Main Event, as the Modesto Blues Festival 2008 opens on stage, June 14, for FREE, FREE, FREE event.
