@garyclarkjr at the Aztec! Curtis Mayfield meets Jimmie Hendrix meets a tall Prince. 2 hours of him and that hat, the seductive voices of his back up singers, sage lyrics and mind blowing musicians loving their craft. God damn!
Another client celebration I wish to acknowledge is @relmstudio 's fourth volume of Interplay, an ezine exploring landscape architecture's role in citymaking. This issue investigates Los Angeles’ meteoric rise onto the world stage. Could our reputation as a car-centric and park-poor city have been averted by better planning, especially given that the father of Landscape Architecture, Fredrick Law Olmsted, and his sons authored two reports for the city between 1924 and 1930? RELM’s Hana Georg and I dive deep into the history of open space in Los Angeles, uncovering seminal influences that continue to shape our urban landscape and cultural preferences.

It’s not everyday a dear friend and client publishes a book 20 years in the making. Fountain Safari is prominently displayed at @Rizzoli bookstore in Manhatten (and available to purchase there and Amazon)! Jim killed his first book lecture yesterday given to @ASLANY members. @jimflo7 , congrats and respect!
