We saw the Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at the art museum, today. It was pretty cool. It was crowded, especially at first. I guess I went slowly enough that the crowd passed me by. It was kinda cool to see all the plans of Taliesin, since we were just there last May. I was impressed with what they had to say about the Bogk House, here in Milwaukee. I'd really like to tour it. (I wonder if they ever give tours.) I also spent a lot of time looking at the plans for the S.C. Johnson Wax company. I've never gotten a good look at what it's like, so I enjoyed being able to study it. I could see some of the technical details, in addition to the overview.

And the Bogk house might get back on one of the "Wright & Like" tours, held in June from http://www.wrightinwisconsin.org. It's still privately owned, and I've never seen the inside; just photographs.
