Q this January


Recommended Posts

There are other places to see things that are at Q. But none have them all at one place. Like the naked book seller,a stage in the middle of the dessert that becomes a giant jam session for a 100 musicians. The dessert rats that have been coming to Q for 50 years and live in a tent for 5 months. Boondockers who cook on solar ovens and love to share their secrets. Horse shoe players 16 hours a day,who get mad if the don't make 20 ringers in a game. It is not a place it is a happening. If you only see the big tent and flea markets you missed a real look at Americana.

............................................ Like the naked book seller.....

Might I ask just what reason might be that anyone would want to see this........... attraction? That is one which I have gone to some lengths to not see and wonder about those who wish to do so???? I have seen photos where folks have actually posed with him. :o

He's not quite naked. He wears a custom made pouch. So I've read anyway. I didn't go see for myself. But, I didn't go to the big tent either. I'd rather go to Sweet Darlene's.

As Linda says, the "naked" bookseller isn't totally naked (which would be against the law, anyway). Whatever you might think of him, Paul Winer knows his books and can tell you where each and every book in his place of business is.

 

He also puts on a couple of shows each winter season that I hear are really good, although we've yet to attend one (he is dressed for the shows).

Cecilia's Garden in Quartzsite is also his tribute to a young daughter's death.

 

He's also getting older as we all are so it's really not that exciting to see him in his garb. :)

Quartzsite's meaning has changed for us. At first it was one of those "if you RV you have to see it once" things but now it's a place that a lot of our friends we have met on the road go during the winter so it's a place to see a bunch of them in one place. Heck some we will only see once a year even though we stay in contact all year and Q is where we meet. We don't really care about the tent any more even though we will most likely visit it each time we are there just because LOL!!

We took in the New Christy Minstrels last year in Q and I understand they are already booked to be there again this year. Details here. http://www.qiaarizona.org/New-Christy-Minstrels.html

Great show! We enjoyed it very much.
