Dinner Project I
Over the weekend I launched my long awaited Dinner Project. This is the first one and I look forward to planning them every few weeks.

I met with Cody (handsomely pictured above), owner of Brooklyn Label and Papacitos in Greenpoint to discuss what the shop will provide (in house bakery, breakfast, lunch and dinner, quality coffee) and the philosophy behind the shop.

Beautiful/Decay and Sasha M. Lee

La Blogotheque
La Blogotheque does a great series of live music videos of bands visiting Paris and they’re all superbly cinematic and spontaneous. I’ve been joyously watching a few and couldn’t help smile and crush on all of ‘em. I love the spectators a bit confused, amused, and enchanted.
