The First Ever People's Sessions...

2010-04-08T13:24:00.000-07:00

...happened a few nights ago featuring a magical performance by THE WHITE BUFFALO(click on name to see his website) in the stairwell of The People's Shoe's HQ in Downtown LA. It was a jazzy little evening that also included an inspiring talk by The Plastic Pollution Coalition(click on link) teaching us about what we can do to stop the ever destructive "single use plastics." The crowd was especially full of cheer thanks to friendly conversation and the homemade, organic, Topanga Elixir (with or without vodka or rum!) that my girlfriend brought down.

This was one of my favorite performances of all time by one of our favorite singer songwriters today....I recommend all of you to check out THE WHITE BUFFALO by clicking on his name and also The Plastic Pollution Coalition .

See you at the next one featuring LESLIE AND THE BADGERS

He was stoic, but later recanted that he enjoyed the day with me.

there has been a faint whisper of TPS puttin' together an intimate live music show case series at our headquarters in Downtown LA...that whisper turned into a roar when one of our favorite musicians, THE WHITE BUFFALO called and said if we got the beer he would gladly play in the stairwell with his road savvy band backin'. The guest list will be very small and the night very big...more to come!

babycakes

2010-01-06T15:46:00.000-08:00

the super-famous vegan BABYCAKES has made its way from NY to open it's doors this week in DTLA. I had a gluten free vanilla cupcake, with spelt vanilla frosting. the cupcake itself was just OK. kinda bland. a bit too spongy. however, the spelt frosting was SO good it almost made up for the mediocre cupcake. But then again, I could have saved the $4 (not exactly recession friendly) and just got a taste of frosting. mmmmm. OH and they do a cookie sandwich with frosting in the middle... next time.

Babycakes, 130 East 6th Street (right next to Coles).

DTLA is so not what it used to be a couple years ago... we'll save u the cliches, but we all know that the hipster to homeless ratio at this point is pretty much 1:1. So I (Anton) was on my morning walk today (houndstooth pleated shorts, coffee, NYtimes), as I literally stumbled into VIRGO. It's a little hipster haven with one-of-a-kind silkscreened tees, vintage army jackets, & military boots. It has the feel of the LES, without the cooler-than-thou attitude.

Brainchild of the sweet design duo Alejandra & Rana. Welcome to the neighboorhood ladies.

take your power back

2009-12-31T00:15:00.000-08:00

a gift: the perfect wrap up of your holiday, to bring this new year with both common sense and intelligence. it's time to take your power back.

most of us have come to rely on experts of some kind to tell us how to eat- we may not always need their advice, but we hear their voices in our heads constantly. I want to remind you to listen to your own voice and your own body.

please read the following words very carefully:
your health is in your control! This means that YOU have the POWER, 3 times every single day to CHOOSE to feel good! No matter who you are, YOU KNOW what treats your body well, and what does not. Do yourself a favor: Listen to your body and TRUST it! You WILL feel results!

simple tip: begin your day with a cup of warm water with lemon. before coffee. before breakfast, and even before no breakfast. water, warm, lemon.

try this out. if you're not feeling improvement, let me know. i know i can help.

let's call it TWO THOUSAND take your power back TEN.
