Hi all,
Yeah, it's gotten slow on here lately. I take full responsibility. Here's some news that should cheer you up.

Bryan Batt, the actor who plays Salvatore Romano on MAD MEN will be coming to Houston to promote his book, She Ain't Heavy, She's My Mother: A Memoir at 7pm on Tuesday, July 13 at the Borders on the corner of West Alabama and Kirby.

Link to event

Bryan happens to be the cousin of a friend of mine and he is excited about the Houston Mod connection. He would love to meet design-oriented people as he owns Hazlenut, a design shop (mostly not mid-century modern) in New Orleans. I'm hoping all the Houston Mod members and friends will make it out to say hi.

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks to Lisa Gray for pointing this out.

Somebody save this baby.

Hey all,
You may remember that "What You Get For The Money" came to Houston about 2 & 1/2 years ago. They filmed our house and immediately went on hiatus. I always figured they didn't really know if they could acurately claim how much you would actually pay for a house after so many American cities' housing markets went south...

Anyway, they are finally airing the episode with our house! I'm curious to see what it looks like on tv over 2 years ago. I think we will be in the mini-segments at the end so you may have to watch on slow motion to actually see it.

The airing date is Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 12:30pm central. Tivo it.

Hi all,
I didn't keep track of all of them while I was putting them in, but there are some new additions on the Houston Mod website buildings section. Both Ben and I had a great time over the Thanksgiving break taking pictures and talking to people about their houses.

Most notably, I updated several in Briargrove and Memorial Bend (of course those are all well documented on Michael Brichford's website). I also added a few Lost Moderns.

If anyone is interested in adding buildings to the website, please let me know. We are planning a submission feature on the website at some point, but for now all you need to do is email us the information (architect, year built, address, neighborhood, summary of the history if you have it, and photo if you have it). After that the website committee will look at the submission to make sure it fits the criteria and put it up on the website to continue filling out the list. We are nowhere near done and every building helps. We are aware of some glaring omissions, but there are also plenty of buildings we don't even know about yet. It's just a matter of time and knowledge to get all of Houston's modern buildings their own little spot on the web.

Thanks,
Jason
