I had planned on trying to do this on my own, but it undoubtedly might be better listening to someone who knows what they're talking about. I'd like to hear more details as they unfold :D

How about later in the afternoon between the shopping and the evening events? It's always nice (for me, at least) to get away from the massive crowd for a few hours.

I tell myself everytime I go to Palm Springs I'm gonna do something like this but I still haven't done it! I also agree with Unga Bunga's delicately broached suggestion that we might break for refreshments along the way. "A man can work up a helluva thirst out there in the desert." - C. Eastwood

When I first heard about this architecture tour I was doubly disappointed that we didn't have tickets for the Oasis -- then along came the Royal Sun snafu and now we in. Got to love those snafus sometimes :wink:

Any interest? InkyLouise

I finally got confirmation today on the bus cost, tour guide's schedule, a thumbs up on the home tiki bar we'll be touring and cocktails at Toucan's... So it is Official! I have edited the first post to reflect the tour time/date price... Seating is really limited - so consider using pay pal if you want to go...
T TikiCrow Member Santa Cruz Joined: Mar 11, 2004 Posts: 18	T TikiCrow Posted posted on Tue, May 3, 2005 10:27 PM That's great about the tour. But where on cherrycapri DOT com do you sign up/pay? Has anyone done this yet? I think I checked all the promising link. Here's a picture of some modern people at the Kenaston House party during the 2004 Palm Springs Modernism Weekend.

Thanks for posting the pic of Tony and me. That's from the Palm Springs Modern Committee Annual Fundraiser last year - at the ever so groovy house is where they shot the cable show "Boy Meets Boy." But I digress - use http://www.paypal.com to buy your advanced tickets - and the email to send $ to is "paypay AT cherrycapri DOT com" Is Crow In!?! I will post a list of attendees in the first post.

Are unworthy folks like myself invited on this tour with their hubby "BealzaElvis"? Or is this exclusive to you all? We would really like to join along in the fun!

S Sabina Grand Member (1 year) The Lounge of the Seven Pleasures! Joined: Apr 08, 2002 Posts: 373	S Sabina Posted posted on Tue, May 10, 2005 12:53 AM (Finally beginning to recover from Oasis!) Truely, the architectural tour was THE hidden pirate's treasure of Oasis for us this year. If you were on the tour you know what I mean. A-MAH-ZINGLY enough, we got to visit not one, but TWO palm springs homes- one empty and rentable- complete with Tiki by the pool, and the other a real home. Both were exactly what we came to Palm Springs for! What a perfect experience to wander up close and personal and get just a glimpse out of the corner of your eye what it must be like to live here in one of these treasures. Our guides, the pamphlet with key terminology, our driver, our home hosts, and the wonderful staff at the Toucan all welcomed us like Ohana. (We had also done the Mondo Tiki, Vegas architecture/history/neon tour, so we knew it was gonna be great!) All I can say is over and over A-MAH-ZING! Next opportunity we get we're jumping the chance to explore yet another town on our next Tiki tour! MAHALO!MAHALO! MAHALO!
T TikiCrow Member Santa Cruz Joined: Mar 11, 2004 Posts: 18	T TikiCrow Posted posted on Tue, May 10, 2005 7:51 PM A-mah-zing!!! We also had a great time. It was fun to be inside the homes, doinking around town on the bus, hearing the architectural anecdotes, and being in the Toucan with sympatico TCers. Although I regret not getting to talk to more people on the bus, I really enjoyed getting to meet or know better the ones I did talk to. Thanks Cherry, thanks Tony!!! Nick & Nora
