If you're in NYC for Playtime this weekend, you would regret not heading over to visit the Polka Dot Club. PDC will be showing new stuff and having a sample sale with Misha and Puff, Manimal and Goat-Milk --- March 9-11 at the Four Points Sheraton in SoHo (66 Charlton St., NYC).

In the 60s and 70s, you could get by on very little money. And, so, people had time. I mean it was kinda like a bubble or just a brief passage in time when there was so much prosperity in America that if you lived simply you could survive on very little. So people had time to explore things and learn new things.
