Wow, it's a little jarring to get to the opening page of that link and have a decidedly unmodernist hippy band jump in your face...who ever thought THAT up? But don't let that deter you:
The Modernism show is truly great, always one of my favorite Palm Springs events of the year. I love going "window shopping" in the show (because most of that stuff I cannot afford anyway). And on Saturday afternoon I will be at the PS Modcom booth in the lobby to sell and sign copies of TIKI MODERN. On Sunday, from 12:00 noon- 3:00 p.m., I will do the same in the courtyard of the "Just Fabulous" book store right next to Coffi at 515 N. Palm Canyon drive.

Yep, together with my friend Chris Nichols, author of "The Leisure Architecture of Wayne Mc Allister"...sometime in the early to mid-afternoon, for a couple of hours...AFTER I have taken in all the precious vintage modern furniture and decor in the place. Supposedly the Modcom booth will follow a Polynesian theme this year- how befitting! So hop on by! 
And bring cash evvybody, two twennies will do, none of that 39,99 hairsplitting here...the x-tra penny is for my signature!

Don Wexler will get his star tomorrow on the boulevard. I was lucky enough to meet him last week. A great friend of mine who is a photographer in town did a shoot with him for an upcoming magazine article and I got to be there.
IF I WANTED SNOW I WOULD MOVE BACK TO CHI-TOWN!!!!!!!!!
P.S. They are asking way to much for that house/Art
