OH WHAT A NIGHT! Partying it Up at the Official Obama Party at Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles!

Last night, we braved the crowds and made it in to the official Los Angeles celebration at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. And oh what a night it was! I can best describe it as New Years Eve x million - a moment I'll never forget, where tears were shed, hugs were aplenty and where high fives ruled over handshakes. As many of us ride the wave of excitement… Continue

I can accept defeat (includes pictures of McCains concession)



Okay, so I knew Obama was going to win, but I was holding out hope.



NOW.



Obama has won and I will do my best to put my full support behind him and his vision for change. Lets just hope he changes things for the better. I am worried about his health care plan and a lot of his social policies, but I am going to be as positive about this as possible. Hopefully he will be a great PR president. We need a better outlook on… Continue

Election Day LA: How one hungry brother and one caffeinated sister end up making phone calls to Indiana!

Eugene and I set off this afternoon in search of free election day food and drinks. After dutifully voting by absentee last week, I felt like celebrating with coffee, donuts and Chick-fil-A! Too bad after standing in an hour and a half line to vote, Eugene didn't share in my excitement.



My one cardinal rule (feed a man when is hungry and let a man sleep… Continue

I Can't Help But Love These Hoodies!: By HeadHood

As anyone will tell you, I'm a sucker for funny t-shirts. In fact, it was even one of Sam's wedding party gifts to his groomsmen. That's why I love this idea from Brooklyn designer/artist, Clinton Van Gemert, called Headhoods. I dig that they were started by this one guy in his studio and that each hoodie is designed and hand printed.…
