Greetings friends!
We are at the halfway point already. Is your month going by as fast as mine is? Right this minute, take out your calendar and make sure that you are plugging in these amazing local events into your schedule. There really is something for everyone. We are waiting for the winter weather with those raindrops, but in the meantime, it is gorgeous. Speaking of raindrops, they keep falling your head and you can hear the legendary BJ Thomas sing that song and many others at the Gallo Center tonight! There are still some tix left. There is a really cool stage performance at the Prospect Theatre called Christmas at Pemberly that will really impress you. Speaking of Christmas, I and the ModestoView are celebrating Thanksgiving all the way through Thanksgiving. AFTER that, we will switch our gears. Speaking of Thanksgiving, don’t forget to register for the annual MJC Turkey Trot in advance. There are a couple of ways that you can volunteer for Thanksgiving and we have ideas at www.modestoview.com
The flavors of the Modesto Farmers Market are still amazing, the leaves are changing, and this is the time to make sure your gutters are clean and your heaters are all checked out. Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you haven’t read our complete November issue, you can click here to check it out at www.modestoview.com/the-magazine
Hope to see you downtown this weekend for one of the cool local brunch scenes and check out the live music when you can Abba Tribute at the State, Marilyn’s Ghost at Ninos and Vintage at the FruitYard and music on the patio at Ralston’s Goat. Speaking of the Goat, Dave Dow’s Jam is now at the the Goat on Thursday evenings so get your instrument and get down and jam with the best local musicians. It is fun.
FYI — Rockin Holiday is coming soon. Opening night and tree lighting is December 7 after the Modesto Candyland Holiday Parade. Put that on your calendar. See you out and about and don’t forget to say Hi. – Chris Murphy

Making Things & Memories
By Chris Murphy
Making things and memories.
Now that we are in the world of all-digital streaming all the time and things craved are powered by batteries and are obsolete the day you get them, there is something kind of wrong about this. Not that we don’t love our technology, but there is nothing really special about a space grey digital device. You can’t make one at home, you can’t pass it down from generation to generation and it really doesn’t warm your heart like something homemade. Things that are made with care and wonderful experiences are the best gift you can give. Read More
MAMAView: Shop Small Buy Local
by Middagh Goodwin
Shop Small Saturday is November 30th, and I encourage everyone to continue the trend and Buy Local Art and Music for all your Holiday Gifts. Your purchases will help to keep our arts community vibrant and healthy. I want to challenge everyone who reads the ModestoView to go to a new local show this month. That would be over 150,000 additional attendees. 150,000 supporting local musicians, restaurants, bars and venues. At an average of $5 per person that would come to a $750,000(over 9 million a year if done monthly) supporting local musicians and businesses. What an easy and fun way to create and build a vibrant arts community. Read More
