I've been looking for ways to share my Modernist finds and seek out Modernist venues and events with others who appreciate the clean lines of Bauhaus minimalism, the excitement of abstract expressionism and the intrigue of Mad Men.

Join us for Mid-century Modern tours, Mad Men marathons, Martini nights, vintage shopping safaris, and anything else that connects us to the aesthetics of Modernism.

Who should join? Architecture buffs, design geeks, and anyone who likes seeking out (or pointing out ) design-rich spaces and events. Singles and marrieds welcome.

By the way: I am not adhering to a strict definition of Modernism. Anything after Bauhaus or Picasso is close enough. If you think you'd like cocktails and a tour at the Guthrie, window shopping at DWR, or you anxiously await the announcement of the next Blu Dot warehouse sale or the next episode of Mad Men, you're a "modernist."
