Just wanted to let you all know that I saw Charles Phoenix' Retro Holiday Slide Show last night at the Egyptian Theatre (and almost hit Harrison Ford with my car on the way home, if you can believe that!)

Anyway - all you fans of retro & 40s-50s-60s kitsch really shouldn't miss this one! For those of you who don't know, Charles has been collecting vintage slides from Swap Meets & Flea Markets for many years. He has been presenting the ongoing collection in a series he calls "God Bless Americana". The latest being the Holiday edition. If you've had the privilege to see Charles at work, you know how great a show it is. He really makes you feel like you've travelled back in time to the 1950s. And Charles is a master of the droll comment - some really funny & nostalgic stuff! You can get more info at his website:

OK - so that's my pitch! The Holiday shows run until Dec. 14th. If you live in Southern California - do your best to see one of his shows - you won't be disappointed!
