The Ojai Valley Museum announced today that the “Mad About Sergio” reception is sold out. The response has been overwhelming and the museum must consider the comfort of our guests and the physical capacity of the facility. We will not be able to accommodate anyone who comes to the door without a prior official RSVP. Everyone with an official reservation will be admitted.

He was a friend of mine. He was a friend of many. It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of Al Westcott last night, January 7, 2009. Al has been a very close friend of mine since 1983. Many of you met him at past Ojai Rock Fest shows. He performed as "Maggie's Pa" as well as helping put on the production of many of these events. Al died while doing what he loved best....playing music. He was performing at a Retirement Home when he passed out and later died of a massive heart attack. Al was the person who got me to come to Ojai almost 6 years ago by helping me land a great job. He was the one who went with me to the doctor when I was first diagnosed with Cancer, and then went on to organize a benefit to help me pay the mound of expenses I was to incur. He was a true friend. Everyone who met Al always liked him. He made people smile. He had a great sense of humor, and was extremely charitable, even down to his dying minute. It was a pleasure knowing you Al, you'll be greatly missed!
(press release from the Ojai Valley Museum...) For the second time in the past few years the Ojai Valley Museum is hosting an exhibition produced by the California Resources Alliance (CERA). The first one, Votes of the Women, aroused a large interest in the Ojai community in 2001. The second, Sing Me Your Story, Dance Me Home: Art and Poetry from Native California will also be a “must-see” because of the museum’s access to these engaging, high quality exhibits.
