Hey all...it was a short week for me. My wife and I zoomed to San Jose last Thursday, jaunted over to Santa Cruz and down the coast to Monterey and Pacific Grove. We took in the first night of the Monterey Jazz Festival and rocked out to Herbie Hancock and his stellar band. At 77, Herbie still jumps around the stage and it still pushing musical boundaries. An other-worldly experience. Also managed quick tours of the Monterey Aquarium, Pebble Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea and more. In other words, the tourista stuff! Fun. Here's a shot of the stage and crowd at the Monterey County Fairgrounds before the sun came all the way down:

All of which means that the only thing that made it to the blog this week was a new vlog/podcast. This one features an interview with 3D exhibit designer Katina Rigall Zipay of Classic Exhibits. We took a look at a handful of her designs and went over some of the things that an exhibitor should bring to the discussion with a 3D exhibit designer.
