The First Fridays events, launched by the Natural History Museum of LA in an attempt to cross breed visitor demographic between parents and children, […]
Today’s talk over lunch at Barbara’s was a wild one indeed. Barbara’s—known for elegant greasy American food—was particularly slow today, which fueled the fervor of our lunchtime conversation. Our first topic was Armand Hammer and whether or not the guy that owns that museum on Wilshire Blvd. had anything to do with Arm and Hammer […]
Today’s lunch was an entertaining mix of four different pizzas, the visit of a French couch surfer, an over-lunch brainstorming meeting for a new campaign for a bay area client, a lesson in pronouncing the term “Episcopalian”, a gourmet cheese plate, the different politically-correct terms for types of different native Spanish speakers, a boss-intern spontaneous […]

The article tells the story of how college students, Kristen and Garret, attendees of USC and UCLA respectively, overcame their schools’ bitter rivalry, snuck behind enemy lines, and planned successful dates with PlanJam. Wanna read the article from a pdf, that’s good too. Either way, check […]
Today’s lunch was a celebration of hard-boiled eggs, citrus glazed chicken, white rice, garlic bread, a kick-ass salad a la Bouaziz, and, above all, Tuan-Ching’s twenty-third birthday.
Assembling the birthday cake ensemble was daunting. Rather than simply adorning the cake with 23 candles, the decision was made to light letter-shaped candles in the traditional H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y […]
