Jason, from StarLite Room, sent a picture of Shag's piece for the "7 Year Itch" show -



Amazingly enough, they still have a few Cocktail Cabinets left too! This was the best Shag-related release since House Industries' "Object d'Art."

We're looking forward to moving back to the US in November so we can hang ours up (thin walls here).

Oh, to be Southern Californian and Mod!

You get Mondo Lounge on Saturday, October 16th, but before that you get "ModCom 20/20/20 - 20 Years, 20 Sites, 20 Bucks" on September 18th and19th!

Join the Modern Committee on a 20th anniversary tour celebrating the 'greatest hits' of L.A. Modern architecture preserved in the past two decades. This two-day, self-driven tour spans L.A. County from the Pacific Palisades to Downey, highlighting 20 sites (10 on each day). It includes a booksigning with legendary architectural photographer Julius Shulman and first dibs on a special, limited-edition print by Shag.

Mr Shulman is the photographer behind "Modernism Rediscovered," a book that makes me want to hit my head against the wall in envy! Definately a man whose ring I'd kiss...



"L.A. Modern" - 13 color serigraph, 20" x 28", edition size = 200 prints.

Any kind souls who attend and feel the need to get a copy of the serigraph for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'll pay you back (honest)!

Any kind souls who attend and feel the need to kiss Mr Shulman's rind for me, I'd greatly appreciate that too!! I have no idea how I could pay anyone back for that!!

The images are up. (Bottomless Cocktail Redux anyone?)





Paul Smith's site is a dense, mostly un-informative site, so here's a link to a much better map care of Maporama.com.

Maybe I'm just being a Negative Ned about the "Shag With A Twist: A Murder Mystery told in Music and Dance" that was mentioned on Shag's News page.

I just can't stop thinking about bad community theatre a la "Waiting for Guffman" or "A Streetcar Named Marge"...
