Oh, Mr. Simmons


Spent last night playing some major Kiss Pinball, Tournament-style, big shout out to Jimsmash for his near 400. Although, everyone is still chasing J-RO's, 404 thousand...

Classic Car Wheel Covers



I was doing research for the new show on vintage hub caps, and after looking on the web, discovered that a shop called
"Classic Wheel Covers" was located right down the street. So after taking some research photos, I got this great shot of a 1970's "Gremlin" hub cap.

Sunset


This is kinda cool, on my last show I helped design a mural for a strip club, called the "Body Shop" on the Sunset Strip.
Apparently, the owner liked it so much, that he's going to make it permanent. So the next time your on the Strip, check it out!

Leslie Hall


Wow! I think I have witnessed the coming of age of a true web celebrity (cewebrity?) Last night, I caught performance artist, Leslie Hall's first L.A. show and Leslie and Co. did not disappoint. Leslie gave the audience what they came for, plenty of rocking moves and GOLD PANTS! From dance offs with children, to a history lesson on the Bedazzler, Leslie covered it all in her raw magnetic style. I actually hope they give her a reality show, so that all of America can see what gems, Leslie and her "DJ" sidekick Dr. Laura truly are. Leslie Hall

Table Parties


There is something disturbing about these "living tables", which are meant to make your corporate party be more fun, but I found myself having to look at them all. See for yourself, here and click on the picture to enlarge... yes, that's a living hershey kiss!

Final Fantasy



Yesterday, I went out to one of our locations, the Los Angeles Arboretum and saw the "Fantasy Island" house. It was pretty cool, I would of loved to see Tattoo run out and take my luggage...

Jackson Shrub


"Greens" have been making sets come to life since the early days of film. Some of the biggest movies feature a wide variety of greens to enhance the look and feel of a set. Check out the Jackson Shrub site to view the often overlooked world of bringing plant life to the screen. link Just look at the gnarly constructed tree outside the "gotham asylum"....

Future Red?


Red flags indicate Chinese occupied commercial shipping facilities in North and Central America. These facilities, along with Chinese cargo vessels, are considered by Beijing to be military assets. If you find that interesting than read this article, here.

Bots for the lazy Blogger


Check out these bots called "PaPeRo", you talk to to them and then they go out and search the internet for subjects relating to your conversation and then find articles, images, music that you may want to put on your blog... Damn, that's pretty far out,

Paprika


Check out this trailer of Satoshi Kon's latest flick, here.

Dragon Dance


I have participated in this crazy festival when I was living in China. It's balls out crazy, as they set off these giant fireworks from inside a festival (paper!) dragon. As you can see, sparks go shooting everywhere. I remember seeing Chinese mothers with their babies strapped to their backs running for cover. It's a pretty wild time.

Happy Weekend!

Stephen Gaghan


I got to meet Oscar award winng screenwriter/dirctor Stephen Gaghan (Traffic/Syriana) today. He was really great, down to earth, and fairly witty. He is appearing on an episode of Entrourage and we went to ask him about his writers office and what kinds of things he has in it. He spoke frankly, and was surprisingly nonchalant about the whereabouts of his Oscar. He told us about his writing tablets he uses to make notes in, and even showed us one that he was using for his new film, Blink. Anyhow, a very cool experience, so look for Stephen on an a upcoming episode of Entourage Season 4.

The Beginning of the End


Here is a documentary about the 7 week wait to watch Lucas' extremely underwhelming "Phantom Menace". I suppose the title of the doc is appropriate on several levels... You can watch the entire doc online for free, here. "Get back in line..."

Jen Stark


Wow you have to admire the dedication it takes to makes some of these pieces. Stark's sculptures are mostly comprised of construction paper, and some are even animated. Take a look here.

Chinese New Year


Last Sunday night was Chinese New Year, if you had lived in China you would have watched this on TV... and probably sung along.

Knocked Up


Three months out, the Knocked Up trailer has been released. I'm not sure if I hadn't worked on the show how I would feel about the trailer. From what I know, it definitely seems like they're playing up the "heart" and not the laughs in the trailer, because don't be fooled, there is a lot of gross out funny humor in this one. I have read the script, but that doesn't mean much because a lot the film was improvised, so I'm sure the jokes will be new to me. I really admired, how Seth Rogen and best his best friend Evan Goldberg have casually planted an anchor in the comedy world, writing and producing on both Knocked Up and the teen/slacker comedy Super Bad. I will say that my experience with Judd Apatow was very limited, but ultimately disappointing. I thought Judd would be the kind of director who is bright and friendlly with everyone, but he wasn't. But it seems like he's doing something right, as I believe this one will play to big audiences come June 1. Check out the trailer for yourself, here.
