Very cool video my friend Sabrina showed me before we dashed off to the Britney Spears concert tonight…enjoy.

The Summer of 1999. Fred Segal’s Jean Bar was the only place to buy the cool denim; the Lakers were on the verge of a dynasty; Diesel was actually cool; Il Tramezzino hadn’t even expanded yet. Things in Los Angeles were good — real good. Gilberto was but a few months removed from high school [...]

“House PartY” and “The Amsterdam Bar”
Posted in Dallas, Film, Lifestyle, Music, Nightlife, Photography on Mar 30th, 2009
This past weekend kicked off with a riot of a party on Friday night hosted by gilberto and yours truly. The house party– at mi casa — included a live performance from our local favorite band, ‘Hoyotoho,’ and was held in honor of our friend’s birthday. It was a killer roof-top performance by the band and just an [...]
The AFI Film Festival is here in Dallas, TX once again and with that comes a butt-load of B and C-list celebrities/producers/directors who love prancing around Dallas with their badges around their neck as if they were just awarded The Golden Ticket by Mr. Wonka himself. I will admit I am excited to see ‘The [...]
Chipotle: Obsession In Recycled Paper Bowl Form
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks on Mar 26th, 2009
Further proof that there exists an online community for just about anything: ChipotleFan.com
Shok and myself probably visit Maria, Jaime and the rest of the gang over at Chipotle #31 at least 17 times a week. Each. Nothing beats the routine…”I’ll have a bowl; to go please; yes rice, light black beans; chicken; a little more [...]
I got a chance to see ‘The Crystal Method’ live for the first time at SXSW at the 508 house right before Aoki and Barnes went on and I was impressed by their energy and style. This duo that is originally from Las Vegas formed the band in Los Angeles in ‘93 out of a bomb shelter which was literally [...]
Perrier vs Pellegrino: An Effervescent Debate
Posted in Food/Drinks on Mar 25th, 2009
Over the last several months, many a dispirited reader has approached me asking the most important of questions: “Gilberto, Perrier or Pellegrino?” Interesting question, with an more interesting answer in my opinion. According to a 2007 survey by pollsb.com, Pellegrino comes away a clear winner with 62.40% of the vote. To that I say “polls, [...]
SXSW 09 :: MSTRKRFT x Aoki @ Radio Room (DIM MAK Party)
Posted in Austin, Music, Nightlife, Photography, Videos on Mar 23rd, 2009
The night started off a bit slow so gilberto and I headed to ‘The Side Bar’ to pre-drink until we decided it was about time to head over to the ‘Radio Room’ where MSTRKRFT was set to play at the Dim Mak party. Before we arrived a friend of mine warned me that it was extremely crowded [...]
Our crew touched down a night earlier than originally planned to see DJ Marshall Barnes, our boy from LA, throw down with fellow Deckstar’r Steve Aoki at the Metallica Afterparty. Fresh off only a couple hours sleep from spinning at Foxtail the night before, Barnes killed it at the 508 House with Aoki. The small, [...]
Happy “Nowruz” Iran! AKA New Years from yours truly… President Obama.
I apologize for the delay in getting this up but I have been a tad bit busy lately preparing for the Mstrkrft show in Dallas tonight as well as SXSW in Austin this weekend. The Hoyotoho show on Monday, as you might have already heard, was off the hook. Dagnushka best described the event on her Facebook [...]
Below is an image taken straight off the runway from the Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2009 collection. And though the bird-suit above may not be the best example of the reality of fashion here in the 21st century, it is certainly a bit more practical than some of the getups in this 1930’s video about — [...]

Cool Site: Just Watch The Sky [dot] Com

JustWatchTheSky.com: I can’t get an accurate handle on this site, but I know that I like it. Interesting typography and music….combined in a simple and beautiful way. More screen shots after the jump, but you’ve gotta see it (and hear it) to understand…

The Onion never really did it for me…too silly, too made-up. This one, however, is truly a gem. Enjoy.

You can find me wearing my favorite item, my “212″ tank, everywhere in the summer. More pics of their collection after the jump… Peglegnyc.com
Présente Hoyotoho Esta Noche
Posted in Dallas, Design, Fashion, Food/Drinks, Lifestyle, Music, Nightlife on Mar 16th, 2009
Hope we see you at the ‘Hoyotoho’ show tonight as it will be a night to remember. Dagnushka came all the way from Austin to screen print custom made shirts, I am foreshadowing that I will be so drunk that I might have to crash at the Sunnybrook Casa, and Gilberto, if he makes it back from his honeymoon in [...]
This man is Marko Jaric, an NBA journeyman (see: SCRUB), that currently resides somewhere on the Memphis Grizzlies bench. Now I don’t want to jump to conclusions, this is just an accusation, and we are all innocent until proven guilty. But let me show you what’s not cool about this situation. Meet Adriana Lima [...]
Man Eats Wild Mushrooms, Dies
Posted in LA on Mar 12th, 2009
Not a funny story at all, but be warned: Don’t eat the damn mushrooms springing up in your yard. Truffles don’t grow in Beverly Hills. According to this LATimes.com article, Angelo Crippa, 82, died of liver failure a week after eating a heaping plate of Amanita ocreata mushrooms he found in the hills near Santa [...]
Bernard L Madoff pleaded guilty today to 11 counts of fraud, money laundering, perjury and theft. The son-of-a-gun was placed immediately in jail after having his bail revoked. Sentencing is a couple months away but it seems like the story will end without the climax we had hoped for; no trial, no shame, no cursing [...]
LIFE: Donyale Luna, 1967
Posted in Fashion, Photography on Mar 12th, 2009
Found this on LIFE magazine’s online archive. This picture was taken in 1967 of fashion model Donyale Luna standing on stage and modeling thigh-high lace-up leather boots during a fashion show in Sydney, Australia. (more pictures after the jump)
The idea here is that basically one of the world’s best comedies could have easily been one of the most dramatic movies in the history of American cinema with just a little help from Clint Mansell and his “Requiem For A Dream” soundtrack. The truth is you could follow my cat around for an hour [...]
Oh Karl, you are such a silly boy! Mr. Lagerfeld unveiled the new Chanel line this past week, which by all accounts is mostly….get this….are you ready….black! Yup, shocking indeed. One new and amazing product that was showcased is this: The Chanel Perspex Briefcase. A modern take on a classic must. Take a closer look, [...]
