Michael C. Ford, The Doors, and poetic musings about San Joaquin Valley

The name Michael C. Ford will probably ring a bell to not just a few Manteca Unified School District students who were in elementary and high school during the mid-to-late 1980s. Those were the years when the award-winning spoken-word artist did stints as a poet-in-residence at Brock Elliott School, Manteca High and other campuses in the district.

Ellyn Maybe and Her Band Jam with Jackson Browne for the Plastic Pollution Coalition
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Ellyn Maybe and Jackson Browne rocked the crowd the night before the Plastic Pollution Coalition’s heavy-weight Tedx Event at the Annenburg Community Beach House. Ellyn was among many incredible speakers, scientists, artists and activists all working to raise public awareness about plastic pollution and the crisis of our oceanic ecosystems. The reception for the event couldn’t have been more beautiful and the focus of the evening couldn’t have been more pressing. Check out the Plastic Pollution Coalition’s important work here and enjoy some photos from the event!

Hen House Vet Gwendoline Yeo Performs Solo Show!
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
In Gwendolines words the show goes:
From nerd to beauty queen…
Encounters with the cane to the first time my father said ‘I love you’…
You are invited to join me on a very personal journey.
Without hesitation, I can safely tell you that Laughing with My Mouth Wide Open is the proudest artistic achievement of my career. Even more so than my Emmy submission for Desperate Housewives, or Robert Duvall teaching me to tango on set in the snow, or hearing my Chinese Zithering on KCRW. (more…)
