29 PALMS INN


believe it or not i'm on vacation!

yes there is rest for the wicked... even for me.
i arrived in PS, (palm springs) yesterday and chilled out by the pool & jacuzzi..

then had a tennessee williams marathon watching ~
SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH- ROMAN SPRING OF MRS STONE, and REFECTION IN A GOLDEN EYE.
this last flick in not written by tennessee, but has the same tone and homo-longing, so popular in his writings.



today i went to 29 PALMS INN to relive some old memories.
the first time i was @ the 29 palms inn was-1983 with HERB RITTS for a shoot for PER LUI.. a now defuncted italian fashion magazine. i was the wardrobe stylist. then in 1994, i brought bruce labruce here, thinking it would be the perfect place to write a script.. it was.. we wrote HUSTLER WHITE here in 10 days.

i have so many memories of this inn i was curious to see if it was still the same.. it is.. looks exactly the same.. like time has stood still.. a postcard from 1928 thru 1956 americana.

  1. Hi, I'm a friend of Daviid Hurles and just now read about his stroke. I notice that the last update on his facebook site is from November last year, is he still ok? Please, if you see him again....tell him Mikey (the big ear'd queer) has been looking for him since we fell out of touch so long ago.
