Stage Fright?

No, not really. Today I gave a presentation on Mid-Century Modernism at the 30th Annual Lane County Home & Garden Show. Having not delivered this presentation before, I wasn't sure what to expect. My 30 minute presentation, aided with some choice slides of Eichler, Cliff Mays, Alexanders, and Neutra designs, took 45 minutes according to my wife.

My 2 o'clock show was sandwiched in between two shows from '50 Pam from Vermont, who runs the retrorenovation.com blog. Her slideshow showwcased '40s-'50s-'60s interiors of all styles of mid-century homes. It was nice meeting her.

The room was full of friends and strangers, included several people from my neighborhood I had not met yet. I was nice meeting the crew at Oak Street Vintage too. The box of Atomic Ranch magazines were gobbled-up quickly. Hopefully that will translate into some subscriptions for them (:

I didn't hear any boos or complaints, so it must have went OK. Would I do it again? I don't know. Maybe. The name of my presentation was Mid-Century Modernism: The Timeless Atomic Ranch.
