LA Modernism Show May 2-4

[JWBear]

In Santa Monica (http://www.lamodernism.com/)

Bill & I have been going for several years. We're planning on going this year on Sunday, May 4th. Anyone else want to join us for a swanking?

[Morrigoon]

Neat. Not sure I can get away for a swanking, but have fun!

[Not Afraid]

We're in!

[Ghoulish Delight]

hmmmmm

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, I'm so joining this swanking.


The photos from last year's event have me drooling.


Funny, though ... for the most part ... modernism isn't so modern anymore. But i still LOVE the style.




Oh, hell .... what to wear??? :cool:

[€uroMeinke]

Don't confuse modern with contemporary or post modern

[innerSpaceman]

Well, from the look of the photos, there was quite a bit of post-modern mixed in with the modern.


I thrill to both, so all's good.


Maybe I'll dress contemporarily to bridge the gap. :iSm:

[€uroMeinke]

Go Futurist

[Ghoulish Delight]

If we go (likely), it'll be on Sunday the 4th. Remember, this is also the weekend y'all were planning on seeing Little Mermaid.

[innerSpaceman]

Ooooh, thank you. I knew there was something about that date. But I'm always double-booked so it doesn't bother me so much.


I'm definitely doing Little Mermaid. Was that supposed to be Saturday or Sunday? Guess I'll dredge the thread.

[JWBear]

*Bump*

Anyone else planning on going? So far, it looks like NA, €, My partner & me.

[innerSpaceman]

What about your new avatar man? Will he be there?


Are we talking Saturday or Sunday? I wanna go, but have to plan my weekend around it (I wanna take my ex to Disneyland the other day, since Wendybeth was kind enough to give me her unused 5-day passport remant ... but it expires on the 7th, so we have to go this weekend. Wow, she hasn't been in years!)

[JWBear]

Sunday the 4th.

I think it's a bit far for Olof (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=olof+melberg&btnG=Google+Search)to come, but I certainly wouldn't complain. ;)

[innerSpaceman]

Gotcha. Sunday.


Ok, gonna try to switch Disneyland to Saturday, with the hook that we can stay till closing 'cause it's not a school night.


So ... Olof or not (Le Grande Sigh), looks like I'm in.

[Not Afraid]

ok, we're going to shoot to be there at 1;00 on sunday.

[innerSpaceman]

One o'clock then. Santa Monica Civic. Meet outside??




Has Olof responded yet?

[Ghoulish Delight]

Bah, can't make it. Stupid birthdays. Oh, wait, nevermind.

[JWBear]

One o'clock then. Santa Monica Civic. Meet outside??




Has Olof responded yet?

'Fraid not.

[innerSpaceman]

So, what's the plan, then? Cellphones?



I don't have Olof's number.

[JWBear]

Do you think that if I had Olof's number, that I'd give it to you?

[innerSpaceman]

So ... plan???

[JWBear]

We're planning on getting there at 1:00, viewing swanky things, then dinner at Monsoon Cafe (http://www.monsoon-cafe.com/flash/ms1024.swf).

[Not Afraid]

Them's the plans. I looks like Chris is available to join us as well.

[innerSpaceman]

ok, 1 o'clock. Cell phones at the ready. Hold them high to charge them!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Have fun guys! Bummer we had to miss this one.

[Not Afraid]

Great show! Lots and lots of eye candy followed by a wonderful dinner and a visit by Boss Radio and a quick shopping excursion on 3rd st. Great day!

[Boss Radio]

Wonderful to see you all...
Thanks for letting me crash the party!

[innerSpaceman]

Too bad I forgot my three hundred thousand dollars in my other pants.


Otherwise, what a great modernism show and sale.



About three quarters of the way through, I hit aesthetic overload. So many stunningly beautiful things. Ugh, a nice quanity of good-looking gay men didn't help either. And rich, too ... unless they were posseurs like us.



As I said right after the show ... I've always wanted to be fabulously wealthy - - and now I know why.


:cool:

[JWBear]

It was maaaahhvelous, darling. Simply mahvelous.

What IsM said is true; lots of pretty things to see... And there was furniture and art too!

[Not Afraid]

I do think we have decorated the entire LoT commune though. Now all we need is a few million dollars.

[innerSpaceman]

Plus the funds to refloat a beached Ocean Liner somwhere along the coasts of India.

Plus the funds to refloat a beached Ocean Liner somwhere along the coasts of India.

Sadly, it would be far cheaper to build a new ship.

[innerSpaceman]

Ooooh, to our own specifications. Right now, I want the floating version of Tony Stark's Malibu swank pad, as featured in IronMan.

[JWBear]

So, what would the Swankitania look like...

Hmmmm.... I have next week off, and it looks like we're not going out of town as planned....

Hmmmmmm....................

[€uroMeinke]

I think it time to create the Center for Rational Hedonism think tank - we'll be a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to exploring ways to improving the pursuit of happiness - we of course will be the first test subjects...
