Shelter, A Basic Need


John Lautner was one of the U.S.'s most influential contemporary architects. He studied under the famed Frank Lloyd Wright for six years and contributed to the Googies movement of the 50's with his 1949 design for Googies Coffee Shop. Googies architecture  can still be seen today all over the West Coast from  Seattle to Southern California. Googies architecture, is whimsical and futuristic.

Last night I got lucky with a ticket to Band of Horses. They were great, fantastic, better than expected. The show ended pretty early so we went to a dive bar for some pool, bar nuts and beer. It was a pretty excellent night.
