Piercing Ken Thoughts: In 2019, I attended my first ever Architectural Digest Design Show and found it to be a super duper experience. I was pretty depressed when the virus too over the land and found all of the events like this one cancelled with hopes for a return month after month after month . While it was sad to not find this being possible, it was interesting to learn of a brand-new event morphing out of this one. As I cobble this closing together for you I don’t know just how ready I am to hit a massive convention center. I’ll need a vaccine first and then I will likely be a little less hesitant. Either way I am excited to have new listings for you to peruse and hope to attend in the brand-new year. Let’s see what happens. Be careful out there my friends. See you next time.
