    Saturday was the first snowfall of the season, in New York City. Of course that had to be the day that we scheduled to do the first hair shoot for Reagan’s hair site. Hahahaha. It actually ended up going very well, considering that we shot everything outside, and it rained/snowed pretty much all day long.…

    I have been back and forth about the whole Facebook conundrum, several times. You may recall this post. Then, almost a year later, I caved under peer pressure and reactivated my account. I have to admit that some aspects of it have been really pleasant. I’m still not 100% keen on it, though. Possibly still…

    More Bay-area organic hip-hop for you, this week. Brought together by Del tha Funky Homosapien, “Hieroglyphics” first appeared on the scene in the early 1990’s. Though Del is heavily credited as bringing the group together, his vocals are probably not the most prominent in Hiero’s tracks. Del shares the mic well with the whole lot…

    Ok, for the year anniversary (at least the first LMC post since the 1 year mark, Hehe.), here is Beck. I have been a little bit lackadaisical with the music writing lately because of the whole Brazil thing. Back in the saddle, though. So I figured that I would make it a good one. Beck…

    Reagan has been threatening to get an iPhone for a while now. I have been threatening to leave out network, all together. My contract was about to be up in Feb., but Reagan carried through, on her threat today and bought herself a new iPhone. Since that kind of wrecked my plans to leave the…

    There was a little soiree last night at La Pomme, in Chelsea for the release of a new Magazine called JM. I was able to break in the 7D at that event. Tyson Beckford made it out. Coco was hosting the event, since she is on the cover of the upcoming issue. The person that…

    Ugghhhhh. Packing is the worst. I have seriously been putting it off like crazy. I’m sitting here paying bills right now, and even IT seem more fun than packing. Anyway, I’m not sure what kind of connectivity we will have over the next 10 days, so the blogging will most likely get pretty sparse. I…

    This week musica coolica is kind of a big deal for two reasons. First, it is the year anniversary since I started doing musica coolica. Hahahahah, ok, that really isn’t that big of a deal. The other thing is that Reagan and I will be headed to Brazil, on Friday. So, in anticipation of our…

    When I was just a little tyke, snowboarding was just starting to become an acceptable sport. What I mean by acceptable, is that it had it’s foot in the door, among the alpine sports community. There was only one resort along the Wasatch Front that allowed snowboards in, and it was only on two lifts.…
