ModestoView Weekly Greeting

Greetings Modesto Friends!

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of 2018 as much as we are. My friend Sam Pierstorff made this comment about 2018, time for Modesto to “stop doubting yourself anymore”. When great events happen, it isn’t because we are more like SF, it is because we are more like Modesto should be. Let’s keep our focus on creating new events, groups and continue to build civic pride.

Yes, #thisismodesto Today and this week, we celebrate the good in all people with Martin Luther King Jr Day with many regional events. Thursday is a Medieval Knight’s Quest Modesto Art Walk in downtown and BeatleMajesty is Friday night at the Gallo benefitting Royal Camp for kids and then have some Beer for Breakfast at the Prospect Theatre.

There is always something interesting going on, many ways to volunteer and help out and our mission here at ModestoView is to keep you all informed. If you know someone that would benefit from this email, please pass it on so they can sign up. The more the merrier!

Have a fantastic week Modesto.  –  Chris Murphy

A new art age dawns in downtown Modesto

By Chris Murphy

There is no fun in the world without reinvention. Some chapters have to close so that new ones begin. Many of our stories are the same. When I was in high school my culture came from the Bay Area, Berkeley in particular. I moved away for 20 years and returned with new eyes. We need to keep bringing new people into our artistic and creative community so maybe in the future people won’t have to leave to rediscover Modesto. Read More

SongwriterView: Cold Weather, Hot Music

By Patty Castillo Davis

The Latin word for January means door since January is the door to the new year and opening to new beginnings.
Begin 2018 like this-resolve to actively support your favorite local venues.
Last year saw the dissolution of places to create art. Put your money where your mouth is literally. Saying you “love this place” does not keep the doors open. It’s like that. It’s simple as that. SAVE OUR VENUES. Read More
