So after a morning run with Theresa (where she literally ran laps around me), we decided to try out Hogan's Heroes for some sandwiches. Now, let me just say that I love Yelp. That site has helped not only… Continue
I just wanted to call attention to the Obon Festival happening this weekend in downtown LA.
OBON is a traditional event to honor and express gratitude to the spirits of our ancestors, those before us who provided us with the gift of life. Each year, obon is a time to celebrate the return of the spirits of our ancestors.
Seems like they are going to make this one cool event:
From their website:
Once a year, we at American Apparel gather all the clothes in our factory to create a giant pile for you to dig through. Discounts and fun abound! Don't believe us? Last year, 4,000 people showed up to go through (and take… Continue
I love how Chef David Chang speaks from his heart. Nothing better.
Charlie Rose's conversation with David Chang: David Chang is chef/owner of Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ko and Momofuku Ssäm Bar in New York City. Chang has taken the food world by surprise, he has already won two James Beard awards and both Bon Appeitie and GQ named him chef of the year in 2007.…
As much as the Met has opened up new and exciting opportunities and ideas, it's also given me a fair amount of stress. Putting yourself out to the public is damn scary, I don't care who you are. So as much as I love conquering that fear, I can't help but struggle with it each and every day.
Here are the particular questions that have haunted me these past few weeks:
1. Will I ever feel ready to open up the Met to the public?
2.… Continue
So Eug and I hit up Comic-Con today to check out this crazy event. Comic-Con is known not just as a comic book event, it's known as a pop culture event.
This may warrant a field trip to NY for some research. :)
Chanel got a prominent architect, Zaha Hadid, to make this crazy cool structure to house the artwork created by 15 contemporary artists who were inspired by Chanel’s classic 2.55 quilted-style chain handbag.
I just love this idea! The SF Zoo is connecting with their audience by putting up signs around bus stations or the zoo where people can take pictures and then post them online. Check out their site to see more pictures or find a location around SF.…
First things first. No, I haven't gotten the new Apple iPhone 3G. (Cue sad face) :(
I still have my old iPhone (but have hopes of getting the new 3G, one day). But, can I just say that the new apps frickin rock my world?! I've only tried out three so far - the Yelp, Facebook and Typepad apps but have heard really good things about so many others. Derrick told me he's heard good things about Urban Spoon and I can't wait to try out… Continue
At the Juxtapoz exhibit, there were a few paintings that literally stopped me in my tracks. One of them was of this girl. Up close...her mascara running, the expression in her face, the latex glove on her hand were so beautiful, so intriguing.
So I looked the artist of this painting up… Continue
So one of my best friends from high school, Alice N is visiting from Singapore where she's been living and working for the past five years. She was craving some Mexican food and we didn't want El Cholo (though that place is good) so we decided to hit up this place called… Continue
Eugene and Annie introduced me to this drink this morning called the Mucho Mango.
Has anyone tried this? It's freakin delicious! Not too sweet, it's a tea and mango slushy drink - so refreshing. OMG OMG OMG. The McDs iced coffee has now been replaced! This has been around since May… Continue
In our endless quest to find the perfect fro-yo, we're whisked to Yogurtland by our good friends Derrick and Jewelz. After PinkBerry, Cantaloop, and Red Mango you'd think we'd just throw our hands up and surrender. You… Continue
Easily one of the coolest exhibits I have ever been to, the Juxtapoz exhibit in Laguna Beach was something I would definitely recommend to a friend. Three floors of art - top floor just landscapes, second floor huge crazy art, third floor shocking hawaiian ladies. If you want to experience something unique and different this is the place to… Continue
