Apparently back in the day, this was located where the scary Ross Dress For Less is now on Sunset & La Brea.
More vintage LA postcards here.
After a long night with friends from LA, feeling very homesick.
Ah, dinner at Crispo with old friends. We are struggling with our choices, and really, just want everything on the menu.
East River + Queensboro Bridge / heli-flight (via FrizzText)
Sad, nostalgic, vibrant image right out of my childhood memories. See that building on the other side of the bridge, the red brick one? I used to lie awake at night there, staring out the window at the bridge and the massive neon Coca Cola sign across the river, which was so bright that I couldn’t sleep.

Ran into these guys on the train. They win Halloween.

Is your couch a fan of Jack White?
According to NME.com, Jack White gave a surprise lecture at Dublin’s Trinity College October 18.
During this candid discussion, White revealed that his former band, The Upholsterers (his band back when he worked in an upholstery shop in Detroit), recorded a run of vinyl EPs. These were recorded on clear vinyl, encased in a transparent covering, and hidden in 100 pieces of furniture that he upholstered.
Has your furniture ever been upholstered in Detroit? If so, it might just be hiding a little gem…
that is so weird.
This is so awesome.
What You Buy When You Buy A Lottery Ticket from Seth Godin’s post
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Same thing with first dates, blog posts, opening presents and answering a phone call from a stranger.
I have bought many lottery tickets.
Highlights from Saturday at PopTech, which was my favorite day.
Michael Pollan and Dean Ornish, on why we should learn how to cook, eat food that our great grandmothers would recognize, and make sustainable choices; Alec Ross, the determined senior advisor for innovation in the State Department who makes me hopeful; Will Allen, who alongside John Fetterman, is truly an American hero; the ridiculously brilliant Neri Oxman, and Mark O’Connor, who brought tears to my eyes with his unbelievable talent.
You should watch the video, and you can read more about the conference on the blog. Sorry for gushing.
