hipshops.com = paris
This is a helpful little site for travelling - hipshops.com
so far, they have 29 listings for PARIS.
what i like the best is the map at the bottom with the already marked placements. makes it easy to navigate such a dense area.

Paris bikes
perhaps we will want to bike around one day?
this group velib lets you pick up a bike at any of their locations, and then drop it off at a different location. sounds like fun on a day when tina & i might want to leave our cell phones at home....

"favorite shop in Paris" search on sartorialist
Today's Paris insights come from Sartorialist (Garance's beau). My friend erik was talking about the bookstore Comptoir de l'Image & I found a few other cool things if you just put "favorite shop in Paris" in sart's site search.

eric goode - amazing man
you may or may not be able to read this - if not, i'll copy it for you & mail it to you.
this article in the new yorker last week is about my old boss eric goode. he was a great boss - kind, considerate & taught me at the ripe age of 22 - to BE MORE RESOURCEFUL. he also taught me how to work an elevator in loft buildings in manhattan............ i was young. he was patient with me.
thanks eric. i think i still have your loft key. not cool!

note to the renters market of san francisco:
You want to charge 1400 for an 800 sq ft. studio, yet you don't want to put the effort behind taking pictures of studio for your listing?
i'm trying to put 2 & 2 together here. i keep coming up empty.

jalouse parody
This parody about jalouse magazine makes me laugh because i've been watching french films every night after yoga crossfit... and sometimes i find myself walking around my apartment saying to rowdy THE FRENCH ARE SO DRAMATIC! or OH GOD THE FRENCH! SPARE ME!

on newt & the moon
I get the whole Moon mission & how it is important to science, history, mankind, etc. But what I don't get is Newt G.'s mention of putting an American Colony on the moon - (if he so graciously becomes our next President.)
When I first heard about the speech he gave in Florida, my gut reaction was: WE NEED HELP HERE IN AMERICA! WHO NEEDS A MOON?
Before we start claiming other planets (he mentioned making the moon the 51st state) - don't you think we should get our finances in order? put our citizens to work? put an end to factory farming? get our country off the couch? reclaim our overseas factories? improve our public school system?
Just at the time when our troops are finally coming home - our noses are in our own pots - you mention taking attention away from our nation, and focusing it on the moon.
American's needing to occupy the moon is to other countries needing a monarchy. its all show.

PARIS 2012
tina & i are going to paris for a frivolous weekend of wearing black & cafes & sweets & shit you do in paris. our trip is during fall fashion week - so part of the shit we will be doing in paris will involve stalking the fashion shows & crashing the parties. send any info or tips or comments. its all french from now until march.
2011 - friends & family
I was going through my pics from this year, and realized that by march, i wasn't picking "artistic" pictures. I was picking all of my pictures with my friends & family.
I would like to call 2011 one of my banner years thus far. I met so many new friends & had a lot of good times & took some of my favorite pictures yet.
My wish for 2012 is to continue the momementum: take more pics & make more friends! Here are my pics of friends & family in chronological order.

my first pear tart
crust from miette cookbook was a little soft... but the idea was from mark bittmans rustic pear tart. clearly i threw the word rustic out the door when the going got tough.
I would like to re-make this video with a marginally pretty slightly overweight girl
no one this pretty & stylish knows this much sadness. whats her problem? she's probably sad someone covered joni again. no offense james blake. i do love you. i bought your album & i like it.

I stopped by the greenroom for this one:
Midi Matilda Day Dreams:
Shot over ten nights in San Francisco and Berkeley, California, the video was filmed in a studio and then that product was projected onto surfaces around the aforementioned cities. Kilborn and Grime then took 3,300 photos of the projections to make up each frame of the advanced stop-motion project.
The end result is an almost seizure-inducing clip, reminiscent of cartoons that are placed in real life settings. Think Teeny Little Super Guy from Sesame Street or the Flight Of The Conchords video, Carol Brown which was directed by the brilliant Michel Gondry. It cleverly utilises the plethora of surfaces in the cities; from people, walls, lampposts and trees. The choreographed dance moves that Midi Matilda bust out only add to the fun.
Skyler Kilborn and Logan Grime make up indie electro-pop group, Midi Matilda and their music skills are matched only by their directorial talents, which can be seen in their self-produced clip to the track Day Dreams.
