Pilobolus takes creative dancing to another level. Here is a clip from Conan where they use shadows to trick your mind..
Pilobolus began as an experiment among three guys and one puzzled professor in a Dartmouth dance class back in 1970. It was survival of the giddiest, as the three non-dancers goofed around with the material they'd been given -- themselves -- and got entangled in science-inspired poses (think: "soft-belly protoplasmic thing") and movements.… Continue

The San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel is a highly traveled passageway in the heart of the city. Over 20,000 cars, trucks, and motorized vehicles pass through it per day. Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint covered graffiti from days gone by. It set the perfect canvas to create a beautiful work of… Continue

The grand re-opening of Sharkeez tomorrow night may be the perfect excuse to visit beautiful Hermosa Beach. A fun place if you're looking for a "young, high energy, beach dive bar" scene, it burned to the ground in 2006 and to the delight of beach bums and locals, it's back! I assume that it's going to get pretty busy tomorrow night at the opening, but the nice thing about Hermosa is that there are many other options along the pier. If you've never… Continue

As Annie and I were driving around to look for a place to eat in Downtown Vancouver a few months ago, we spotted this hotdog cart with a huge line. The sign on the cart said "Japadog". Could these Japadogs put the infamous LA bacon-wrapped we know and love to shame? And so the love affair began.
The Menu: The Terimayo ($4.25) is the most popular. An all-beef dog, grilled and topped with nori… Continue

Based in LA, Audrey is 26 and spent two years at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn learning fine arts painting. After touring to Rome this September, she will… Continue
