I am so excited to attend. This is the first time I've been asked to donate one of my works to the River Parkway Trust, and this is one of those big fancy fundraising parties where all the who's-whos show up. This year it's at the new Clovis Veterans Memorial District Building in Old Town Clovis.
If you're not familiar with the Kickoff, this is actually the first of a yearlong series of fundraising events, with over seventy parties this year. These small intimate parties are as diverse as an Evening in Provence (complete with games of petanque, hosted by my petanque club) to a Barndance (at the Hallowell Barn) to an architect Art Dyson themed party on the Kings River at the home of my friends, Deb and Gregg Lapp. The money raised supports Trust's the effort to protect the San Joaquin River and helps to connect people to the river through programs and activities.
And I won't hide the fact that I'm excited about the food. There will be food from fabulous restaurants and caterers including my favorite, Sam's Italian Deli, where the guys know me by name. Plus lots of the local wineries as well.
The admission fee is $35 for members and $40 for non-members at starts at 5:30.

Friday the 13th Unlucky for Some
Where do I begin? You are just lucky I haven't had my coffee. First, it's Friday the 13th, it's cold and rainy here in Fresno, and I'm debating where to start. Let's do art first.
Right now I have an image up at Fresno City Hall. It is part of a group exhibit for Parties for the Parkway 2009 and will continue at that location through the end of February. The show starts a yearlong series of fun and fundraising events for the preservation of the San Joaquin River. Growing up in Fresno, the river has always been part of my fond memories. My image even evokes a simpler time, and is called Clovis, California 1992 . It's an archival digital print of one of my first hand colored images. The same image is also currently the cover of the Fresno Free College Foundation Annual Report 2008 that celebrates this important non-profit's fortieth year. Please feel free to visit the show weekdays 8-5 through the end of the month. You can find my image on the first floor not far from the reception desk. The show continues onto the second floor as well.
As of March 5, 2009 the entire collection will be located at the Clovis Veterans Memorial Building for the Kickoff Party that starts at 5:30PM. Tickets are $35 for members and $40 for non-members. For more info visit San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust or call 559/248-8476.
The Rockabilly Revenge 6 in Long Beach, California at the Blue Cafe will feature Cattie Ness and the Revenge for our first show in quite a while. In fact, this was the longest break I have ever taken and am glad to report we've been practicing with our new drummer Johnny Rage, and it's all good! So mark your calendar for this one as it's just around the corner on February 28, 2009. Deke Dickerson will be the super-duper headliner, with two stages of bands, plus food, drinks, pool and just plain fun. And it starts early, at 3PM, all ages, and 21 and older after 9PM. We can even pre-sale you tickets at $14. $18 at the door. Visit Our MySpace for more info on getting tickets.
