Season is officially here! We always kick off with a Halloween Party on Arenas, and then bang on into Pride, the biggest party of the year. The temperatures haven’t cracked 100 in a few weeks, and we’re about to dip into the 70s during the daytime and 40s or 50s at night. It’s the sweet […]
It’s February, which means it’s Humpback Whale Appreciation Month in Palm Springs! Okay, so that’s a bit misleading. Yes, February is Humpback Whale Appreciation Month, but we’re not celebrating this year (we never have). So whales, you’re on your own (but please do live long and prosper.) What we do have are Modernism Week and […]
From the beginning, the land the Cahuilla called Se-Khi (“boiling water”), the place Spanish explorers dubbed the ridiculously wordy La Palma de la Mano de Dios (“the palm of God’s hand”), and the city now (succinctly) known as Palm Springs, should probably have been named what it is: Paradise. In the early 1900s, Palm Springs […]
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’” — Robin Williams You guys, it is even more gorgeous than usual right now. The flowers are so bright and colorful they can’t help but make you happy.

“In August most of Europe goes on holiday.” ―Tony Visconti In Palm Springs, just like Europe, many local shops/restaurants close, and take a vacation. That doesn’t mean we roll up the streets and close the blinds – we’re not a ghost town by any stretch of the imagination. We’re still mostly open, and have a […]
“One thing about flying that he never got used to was that no matter how awful the weather was on the ground, if you flew high enough you could always find the sun.” ― Tom Clancy, The Hunt for Red October On the ground, in the air, you can always find the sun in Palm […]
It’s the eve of what we call “season” here in Palm Springs, and while the usual suspects remain strong contenders for your enjoyment here, there are enough events to fill up everyone’s travel diary. It’s a LOT, so I’m keeping this short. And a reminder, if you’re coming to Palm Springs, please consider one of […]
“Spring is nature’s way of saying, ”Let’s party!’” — Robin Williams Welp, it’s time for Coachella again, and what a beast of a party it’s going to be this year with Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, Swedish House Mafia, and Kanye (billed as Ye) headlining. There’s already a titch of craz-ye in the air. Per their […]
Tickets are on sale for Modernism Week October, the mini version of arguably the biggest event in Palm Springs (the other contender being Pride). It’s a mere two months away, and tickets for the mack daddy in February will be on sale soon. If the ring-a-ding-ding of the 1950s and 1960s is your Roman Empire, […]
As promised in my previous blog, I’m back with more fun Palm Springs film facts. I would like to start by saying, just for giggles, I decided to get ChatGPT involved, to see if it had any more information than just the norm. So I asked, “What movies were shot in Palm Springs?” and it […]
