Denver Modernism Show
Mid Century Modern Denver
Guest Author : Otto von Stroheim
Bring me a martini because I HAVE OUTDONE MYSELF with this one! August 28 - 30, 2009 at the National Western Complex, Denver, Colorado. In addition to our 100 or so fabulous vendors from across the US…. you can hang with…
SHAG - L.A.’s quintessential neo-Mod artist, aka Josh Agle! The swankiest hipster ever to pick up a paintbrush! SHAG will have a booth at the Denver Modernism Show all three days, and will give slide show talks Friday night and Sunday. He’s also the juror of our special Denver Modernism Gallery section! Visit www.shag.com
Charles Phoenix - You know him! You love him! And he’s the Denver Modernism Show Toastmaster! Charles will emcee our entire show, will have his own booth all three days, will judge our Sunday Car Show and… oh, yeah - He’ll present another HILARIOUS retro slide show! www.charlesphoenix.com
Richard Cheese - Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine is, quite simply, the greatest band of all time. If you don’t believe me, visit www.richardcheese.com . Richard delights in converting all songs into swanky vintage lounge music … and that includes songs by Nine Inch Nails, rap songs, TV themes, whatever you got… Fabulous and funny…and naughty as hell. Richard will make a special guest appearance at the Denver Modernism Show Early VIP Gala on Friday night - to meet fans and sign and sell CDs. AND… Catch his stage show on Saturday Night, August 29 at the Gothic in Englewood - with Charles Phoenix as his opening act! It’s one of our Denver Modernism Show After-Parties!
Matt Locke, HGTV Design Star - We LOVE this guy!!! Matt is a native of Colorado Springs, but transplanted out to LA when he hit the Big Time on HGTV’s smash hit, Design Star! Matt will appear Friday night ONLY, with a slide show and lecture! www.mattlocke.com
Go Go Lab - Picture this: Three musicians supplying vintage-style jazz improv music, dressed in lab coats, with a big screen showing 1960s spy movies behind them… and they’re improving along to the spy action…. That’s Go Go Lab… our incredible Friday Night Preview Gala band! Visit www.gogolab.com
Aquasonics - On Sunday, in conjunction with our Denver Modernism Car Show addition, we’ll present the Aquasonics! What goes better with mid-century cars than surf guitar music??? Nothing! Oh - well maybe Roller Girls… and we have those on Sunday, too. www.aquasonics.net
Rocky Mountain Roller Girls - No modernism show is complete without roller derby… If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. This year, in conjunction with our post-Atomic car Sunday Car Show, we have MORE wheels for you…. Girls on Wheels… It’s just a no-brainer! You HAVE to see this! www.rockymountainrollergirls.com
But WAIT… There’s MORE… We’ve got hula girls, drink-serving robots, designers, authors and artists! I’m telling you…. this year is UN-MISSABLE!!!
