JOE GALLI’S ALL IN ON THE NWA

Galli’s journey to getting to the broadcast desk of the NWA has been unique. Galli worked as a news broadcaster for 11 years, recently with WOAI News 4 in San Antonio, until he decided to dedicate himself to the NWA. Interestingly, though, he never considered a career in journalism. “I went to California State University, Northridge, and I was originally in a screenwriting program there. I was growing up in Los Angeles, so everybody wants to be in the movies,” Galli joked. “The screenwriting program was just too difficult for me to work full-time and also wrestle. So, I was like, ‘I can’t do all of this,’ but [the] journalism class schedule was just easier so it’s like, ‘Well, just do that.’” -- Slam Wrestling

2nd Annual Summer at The Center Series continues with Merle Jagger and photographer David Muskin at The Center for the Arts

Make a night of it and carve some space out for the David Muskin photography exhibition opening that evening in the Granucci Gallery at The Center for the Arts from 5 to 7 p.m. A friend of the band, Muskin’s photography is a perfect segue to the evening’s musical acts and looks at the work of a voyeur’s voyeur; it’s dark on purpose, just listen. Muskin began his artistic career as a ceramicist when he graduated from Cal State Northridge with a 3-dimensional art degree. That only lasted for a few years, and by 1976 he was shooting the people and places of Los Angeles with a 4×5 speed graphic camera. -- The Union, Nevada
