The folks at Modern Phoenix are throwing their sleek, contemporary, stylish doors wide in welcome for visitors interested in the mid-century lifestyle. As their invitation states:

Our Progress + Preservation event spotlights the urgent need to practice mid-century modern design preservation while also honoring the independent spirits that create contemporary design in Phoenix. This weekend event will juxtapose local attitudes and approaches toward both Midcentury Modern and Contemporary architecture and design. We'll take the dialogue between past and present to the next level by bringing together a dynamic mix of creative personalities in a variety of stimulating venues. Please join us for this one-of-a-kind event.

What could be better? Spending a dreary March weekend in Phoenix!!! Now that's a trip I could warm up to. (Get it? Warm up? Ah, forget it. It's late and I've had a glass of wine.)
