The train of free tickets to Broadway shows continues… and despite my complete distaste for musicals, I was truly awestruck by the production of Memphis, playing now until July at the Schubert Theater.

Now, you might wonder why a plot that sounds suspiciously like that of Hairspray should be given a second thought.  And, while yes, [...]

Revel Seven, a Park City, Utah-based company, unveiled its new website this week.  The company has been in operation since 2006, but this is the first season they have offered organic, sustainably-produced jeans alongside their 100% organic cotton tees.
Revel Seven bridges the gap between traditional, crunchy organic clothing and contemporary sportswear, offering stylish, sustainable fashion [...]

This began as something of a joke.  A friend of mine came over one night with some things to ‘help’ us cook dinner.  Airplane-sized bottles of scotch, a single chopstick, a handful of strangely penis-like mushrooms… and a container of chili butter.  After a good laugh, we put the offerings to the side and set [...]

My father has been in town on business this week, and I was informed earlier this week that I was to take my mother out for dinner on Friday, as he had a dinner meeting scheduled.  While my girlfriend and I originally settled on taking my mom to Momofuku, this week’s Time Out arrived at [...]

A Japanese man recently fled home from North Korea, and subsequently authored a book to be entitled “I was Kim Jong-il’s Cook” (h/t Telegraph). Therein, he describes how he served still-living (flopping, gasping) fish to the dictator.
Now, when I first read this, the image of another gangster leapt into my mind.

That’s right, we all [...]

A tween in early 90s California, I was subjected to the horrors of DARE; that was before the hypocrites that ran my high-school acknowledged that DARE was about as effective as viagra for a eunuch and jettisoned it.
So, while I had heard of roofies, it certainly seemed remote from my little upper middle-class Santa Monica [...]

In case you hadn’t realized it, the last time you got flummoxed by the far end of a hyperlink may very well have been the result of a website known as 4chan. Yeah, they’re even responsible for that icanhazcheezburger website that my girlfriend finds so entertaining. (Btw: that’s me at my 30th birthday [...]

This is great: Pedro Almodóvar casually announced, whilst sitting next to Penelope Cruz on a panel at Cannes, that he had to perform cunnilingus on an actress on set to show the leading man how to do it.
I want that job!
(Pedro is at Cannes touting his new film, Broken Embraces.)

So, get this: in order to demonstrate a hypothesis regarding adaptations of the human penis (specifically, that its shape is designed to squeeze/scoop other men’s semen out of the vaginal cavity), a handful of scientists (lead by this guy… yeah that guy!) at SUNY Albany designed an experiment involving a trip to both a sex [...]

Maybe I’m just bitter because I found out this week that the superfabulous sportswear line I work for is closing its doors… or maybe because I would never in a million years be able to afford the smallest room at this hospitality juggernaut… but word of this monstrosity sets my blood boiling.
A refrigerated beach? [...]
