The Gatsby Summer Afternoon, 2004
A three-minute video of the 20th Annual Gatsby Summer Afternoon, put by the Art Deco Society of California on the second Sunday in September at Dunsmuir Historic Estate in Oakland, California. The video was done by Evening Magazine, a longrunning San Francisco TV show, and aired on New Year's Eve 2004. Featured on camera are Laurie Gordon, who created the first "Gatsby", and Michael Crowe, who founded the Art Deco Society of California. There are no spectators at this idyllic event, which fills a five-acre lawn with vintage picnic spreads, classic cars, and live music and dancing that evoke the best of the 1920s and '30s. Everyone is a participant.
