Desert Happenings: The Purple Room

I am very excited that a longtime favorite, The Purple Room at Club Trinidad has reopened!  Our friends, The Gand Band will be playing there often.  I was a little nervous that the new owners might have gotten carried away with renovations, but it's still quirky, dark, and full of interesting characters- and now they have FOOD!  Loved the sloppy joe sliders as well as the liver pate!  Photographer Lani Garfield was there and caught this nice image of Liz and Frank Malinka at our table. 

New Airstream Interior Photos! Woot! Woot!

Well, I finally had the interior photographed for the upcoming (November 2013) issue of Desert Outlook Magazine.  James Butchart spent a lot of time on these photos, I think they look great!

Season is Almost Here!

I was terribly excited to see that they'd taken down the iron fence around the shuffleboard courts at The Happy Traveler.  It's been so long since I played- I might need a refresher on the rules.  Simultaneously, lots more RVs have started to appear at the park.

Desert Happenings: Lucid Stead, Joshua Tree

We were recently treated to a wonderful high desert art installation- Lucid Stead.  Artist Phillip K. Smith III installed a series of changing lights in a circa 1950's squatters shack in remote Joshua Tree.  The result was breathtaking!

The Big Reveal

I threw a party to introduce Palm Springs to The Silver Suitcase (my Airstream trailer).  It was mostly completed by Labor Day weekend, and I moved in the Monday after the party.  To check out the party photos (this is what we do in a trailer park) click HERE.

Thanks to David Lee for photographs, Design 849 for staging the lounge area (via Bill Nicholson, Travis Smith, and Brian Wolbaum), and to Bar for providing the great sliders!
