food & drink

When I delivered the poster to Skip's Music, friend at the counter thought this would be a good one to see. Check it out. State Theatre tomorrow night. If you've not been to a concert or event at the State Theatre, concessions usually open, have beer and wine, sodas, and of course famous popcorn, so consider the comforts of seeing a show at the great icon of downtown modesto theatres. see http://www.thestate.org and sign up for email mailing list for upcoming shows, film, concerts.

The June Art Walk Maps are out at the various art walk locations, and via Downtown Improvement District, and the maps can be used during the full month, not just the Third Thursday event night, with some coupon specials, addresses and locations of the downtown galleries and businesses supporting the art walk.

Buy a blues frog t shirt from Jim at http://www.cafepress.com/jdc104  then come join our host, Peter Mah below, at JB rolling us over to Minnie's for the After Modesto Blues Festival 2008 in Graceada Park party and jam, with Vintage Blues Bands host, MoFo Party Band in to jam, maybe John Ady, others from the lineup and friends from around town. 

Emailed gift idea, from where I do the art walk show, State Theatre Gift Certificates.

Want to spend more time enjoying the season’s Fa-la-la and less time shopping? Here’s a quick and easy gift idea that’s perfect for concert-goers and movie fans alike: A gift certificate good for both concerts and films at Modesto’s historic State Theatre. You can wish employees and business associates a happy holiday, or make sure the mailperson and dog walker have a cool yule. State Theatre gift certificates are also fantastic for family and friends plus, they’re sexier than socks and more fun to give than money!

The National Alliance on Mental Illness, Stanislaus chapter, holding its annual Christmas Dinner, is doing something a little different.  NAMI Stanislaus is having dinner catered, by Executive Chef and Owner of Minnie's Restaurant in Modesto, Peter Mah, as part of Pete's new association as consultant with Turning Point Community Programs.

Here's the poster for the Go Figure show at Wanderlust, by the artists.
Reminder too, Simplicita Coffee House is on the art walk as well, see their event announcement for their offerings on this month's Third Thursday. Each stop is different.
