Martini Kings Shag Store Palm Springs California February 2020





Every year when we're in Palm Springs one of our must stops is at the Shag Store. Pat introduced me to Shag, Josh Aigle. If you're not familiar with his work, you would probably recognize it if you saw his pictures. 


During Modernism Week Shag holds two events on a Saturday to introduce new Shag paintings.  Pat and I were able to attend both events this year.


This is a video of the Martini Kings (playing "The Lady Is A Tramp"), the live entertainment Shag offers during his events. Also free drinks are available, thus the long line outside waiting. 


Pat has purchased several Shag products as have I. They're expensive but worth it to me and Pat. We get a lot of enjoyment from what we purchase from  prints, lamps, pins and this year a Shag shirt. 


A Shag event, just another reason for visiting Palm Springs in the winter during Modernism Week!



Pat finds his happy place relaxing at the Shag store with a vodka cucumber cocktail.

The Shag store looks like an intriguing and relaxing place. I never heard of a vodka cucumber cocktail.

Jon,
The vodka cucumber cocktail was strange tasting. Tasted jut like a liquid cucumber, if you're into that sort of thing.
