CA Boom V Saturday filled with familiar faces... and some cool houses.
 Has the suspense gotten to you yet? At long last, we put you out of your misery. And the bling was worth the wait... lots of picture galleries for you modern home loving peops.
Day 2 of the guided home tour takes us around West Los Angeles and it feels sorta like homecoming. It just so happens that Neil Denari, Chris Genik and Kevin Daly all instructed some of us at SCI-Arc years ago, and nothing like getting those boys back for the countless sleepless nights they made us spend cutting basswood and atomizing onto mylar we say, so let’s have at it.

Our CA Boom V coverage begins (FINALLY!!)
 CA Boom V follows in a tradition of providing sensory overload to design professionals and aficionados alike (hint: the architects are normally the tired looking folk, since the wardrobe no longer reveals anything apparently), and this edition did not let anyone down in that respect.
Unfortunately for us (and for you), we were unable to go on the architecture tour on Friday, so there is no coverage of that excursion.
Fret not, since we provide you with links to all the architecture offices involved (after the jump). You will have to imagine our witty banter and myopic architectural insight when perusing the web sites of the participating architects, but, let’s face it, you like the pictures best anyway.

Art inspired by landscape architecture and design | 10/06/07
 A bit late to say the least, but let's start the New Year off right by provided a wrap up of Cultivated, an exhibition held in conjunction with the annual ASLA conference in San Francisco back in October.
The Event was a great success, only minutes after Mars Bar opened its doors, the space was filled with the buzz of local artists, landscape architects and designers. String lights lined the sod-covered sidewalk directing the incoming flow through the doors where they were presented with a layout of the exhibits and a schedule for the media show. People meandered through the Front Gallery to explore the art work ranging from photography portraying the American Landscape in Bryan Schutmaat's eyes, poetic mixed media works from local Designer Zach Tanner, and Landscape Architect Christian Lemon's sculptural work constructed from bamboo, wood burl and Japanese maple.

It's like every time I turn around, it's CA Boom time again! OK, so it isn't time yet, but it will be here before I diggity dag darn know it... and this year we're planning ahead.
Well, I told you before, but I'll tell you again: CA Boom V will be March 14 through 16, 2008, once again at the fabulous Barker Hangar in sunny Santa Monica, California. And I hear that the show will continue to expand the offerings as attendance has grown significantly over the past two years... we have a winner here, folks.
By the way for you designers and hawkers of design schtuff, CA Boom V still has room for exhibitors, but space is filling up fast so get your applications in pronto. And for you architects with projects in the west LA area, CA Boom is on the hunt for tour locations... be seen.
