How classic would a cocktail need to be in order to have a whole day dedicated to it? And is a cocktail still the same cocktail if made with entirely different ingredients? Well if gin martini purists had a hard time accepting vodka martinis, it’s time to test the boundaries yet again – this time [...]
I think it’s time for a new camera.
I may go to a lot of shows, but as far as blog posts, my music mojo is a little rusty. As they say, writing about music is like dancing about architecture – but live music sometimes needs to be inked. It can’t be rewound, re-recorded nor can the experience [...]
Yes, the Save the Dates are out and yes, we have been adding names and blog URLs to our invite list via comments in that aforementioned post. We’re at capacity and while we’d looove to have all of the Los Angeles blogging community there, we simply can’t. This calls for more clarity about what makes one eligible to attend [...]

It was at Crown Bar in West Hollywood where the next Carl’s Jr. burger would be unveiled. And what better place than a whiskey bar to hold an event called, “Bourbon & Burgers?” And bourbon and burgers we would get – almost necessarily in that order!
So upon arrival – after meeting up with Sarah of [...]

It was just another Saturday afternoon as I drove along Sunset Boulevard. In fact, I was heading back from the East Side performing my usual geekery at my weekend daytime coffee spot (not my weekday nighttime one) when I saw this from the seat of my MINI. Don’t worry – the traffic signal was red, [...]

There was no better place than M+B Gallery off Melrose to hold the launch of a collaborative effort between world-renowned, Glasgow-born photographer John Rankin and premium single-malt Scotch maker Macallan. Attendees decked out in black & white complimented large versions of polaroid art mounted upon gallery walls. The first series of Macallan’s Masters of Photography [...]

It was a sold-out night and I had bought tickets about a month ago – but I was wondering if I was going to sorely regret giving Does It Offend You, Yeah?’s live show a chance when the opener immediately before them had me furrowing my brow in confusion. To be honest, the fact that [...]

Despite the fact that my previous posts about Pinkberry were less-than-favorable, I ended up on the list of bloggers invited to the original West Hollywood location to try a “new taste” they had been cooking up before taking it public*. After all, Pinkberry got its first boon virally – and they were going to tap into its [...]
