Charles Phoenix Retro Slide Show: Pools, Patios, and BBQs

An all-new, performance by pop culture humorist and author, Charles Phoenix, celebrating mid-century So Cal backyard life and style - fashion, food, furniture and decor, festive theme parties, the tiki craze, the anatomy of the patio, the evolution of the barbecue, and the ultimate suburban status symbol – the swimming pool! – all in glorious Kodachrome color.

This slide presentation is part of a series of PCC events surrounding the exhibition Backyard Oasis: The Swimming Pool in Southern California 1945-1982.

This event is generously sponsored by Barbara & Bernie Cain.
