Whoosh! 2011 went by in a digital flash and now we're on the roller coaster ride of award shows, elections and who knows what else! Check out the REVIEW page for PO!NT's picks and pans of 2011 and watch this space for art and culture updates.
Apologies to the ever entertaining Christian Garvin, owner of Oreana Winery in Santa Barbara for misspelling his name. Any fan of Frank Sinatra and a guy who offers his lovely space for charity fundraisers deserved better than that! And thanks to his publicist, Maureen McFadden for turning me on to Oreana (not to mention the wonderful birds of Santa Barbara beaches).
Coming up: The Los Angeles Art Show, Palms Springs Film Festival, and some commentary on my recent visit to Oregon. Gas was only $3.13/a gallon and nice young men even pump it for you. *Sigh...
The very charming Italian Daniel Oberti has a beautiful line of eye glass frames that have been featured at Oscar™ gifting suites and on the faces of lovely Hollywood actors such as Maria Conchita Alonso.
