What a great Palm Springs weekend. For a couple of days, one gets to live a midcentury-modern dream life. There are so many kindred spirits in one place here, and they love to share their treasures.

It all began with the opening of my Contemporary Idol show at M-modern:

As we always do, we stayed at my old friend Pete Moruzzi's house:

Pete wrote "Havana Before Castro", and I photographed it. Our next book will be on classic dining in America, and it will contain mostly my photos, some of them taken at the Mai Kai. Pete had gotten himself a new toy:

A 1965 Buick Riviera with clam shell headlights!

What a beaut!

I love going window shopping (rarely can afford anything there) at the Modernism show at the Convention Center:

MCM dealers from all over the country have their stalls there:

My wife volunteers at the P.S. modcom booth:

Up next: The big bash, the annual P.S. Modcom benefit party!
