We all know a bachelor, who’s white virgin walls need help. It’s time to take down that Scarface poster. 1xRun sells one time runs of Limited Edition prints from an array of artists. Once a week a print is released on a limited run & the sale will continue until the last of the numbered prints is sold OR the until the next Monday, when a new print is released. Each piece of art is unique to 1xRun, so you will be buying something that you will not be able to find anywhere else… and it’s a limited edition so you can give something that you know will never be duplicated. This week is one of my favorite artists, The Chung!, and the prices are not that expensive, so you can look like you have taste, but be a cheapskate too.

Read a book. Read a book. Read a motherf*ing book. ism community is a non profit org that is hell bent on getting people to communicate better online and off. oh, and they do that through art. The executive director, Kevin Stanic & Melanie Moore self published this one of a kind book that gives voice to our insecurities and simplifies the confusions that accompany life. It is whimsically illustrated by Emilio Santoyo who brings a decidedly Dick meets Jane look to the pages of ‘i am. you are.‘ Another unique find that had a very limited run, so once they sell out, there will be no more.
i am. you are.

This is what I think Paintball is made for: feeling like a badass with a gun without actually killing anyone, feeling the pain of a close range paintball and the bruise that accompanies it, and most importantly, feeling that satisfaction of sharing that aforementioned pain with your fellow comrades in arms. I remember growing up when paintball was the 13 year old boy’s idea of the best birthday ever. It still is that, but, the people at Hollywood Sports Paintball Park have turned it up a notch so that the adult-you can get your Mad Max on by roaming the mock apocalyptic sets dripping with fresh paint & feel like a kid again.
The event I went to was hosted by Media Barons, a full service creative services company, that specializes in irreverent marketing, attention getting advertising, creating online presence through social networking & the like or full service branding. {www.themediabarons.com} They even made fun party favors/implements of embarrassment.
Tips:
Hollywood Sports Paintball Park offers events from capture the flag in a war zone peppered with old cars & various debris from some anonymous post-apocalyptic event to SPEED BALL on a super close quarters field with no cover where it’s every man for himself until total annihilation. Mwahahahaha. Ok. Clearly I’m into it. So, get a group of your enemies together and duke it out like commandos.

It’s RESTAURANT WEEK in LA! That means you can try all those shmancy restaurants that you read about in the foodie blogs that you follow without having to take out a mortgage to do so. There is a smorgasbord of prix-fixe menus to choose from, ranging from $16 lunches to $44 dinners. Some restaurants have both lunch and dinner options and some only have one or the other, so check out dineLA‘s website for options. Restaurants are showcasing their best food for a fraction of the price so it’s a pretty sweet deal. You can even try Jose Andres’ Bazaar, whose innovative tapas inspired my very own “iPhone mit iPhone.”
In all seriousness, The Bazaar at SLS is an amazing dining experience, whether you get the traditional tapas or the gastromolecular magic that they spin there. This is their inspired take on Lox & Bagels:
Everything they do makes me laugh because it’s so clever & fun — so treat yourself to a fine meal without cracking that rainy day piggy bank fund.
