Eat This

Eat This permalink

He came, he saw, he ate. Author Ian Jackman traveled the US in search of the very best, from burgers to boxed cereal - then he wrote a book about it.

Local artist Amy Stevens bakes, decorates, stages and photographs incredible and (kind of) edible cakes for her ”Confections” series and we totally LOVE the results!

NEL Pack of Dogs

Pack of Dogs permalink

From Mexican art collective NEL comes this wild pack of dogs. Introduced at the 2007 Salone Satelite in Milan, these pieces are based roughly on the shape of a dog, in different sizes and positions. These characters, named after famous Mexican wrestlers (Dos caras Jr, Aguayo, Superastro, El Santo, Alushe and Mistico) follow you around your house or office, and may work as a side table, stool, bench, bookshelf, magazine rack, newspaper holder, bookends, etc. By the way each piece is used, and the objects that interact with it, a different story is told.

“She Loves the Moon” is a choose-your-own-adventure story being played out on the sidewalks of the Mission in San Francisco. 43 stencils trace a love story through the neighborhood. Pick a path (his or hers) and follow the arrows to see how it turns out.

Wallpaper* City Guides

Wallpaper* City Guides permalink

Summertime is dwindling so you best get your act together and take a trip. We really wanted to write about the “A Hedonist’s Guide to...” series of travel guides but we honestly couldn’t find a decent enough picture for you. Running neck and neck in the nicely-designed and super informative department are the Wallpaper* City Guides. Where’s the Philly guide (wink wink)?.

Field Notes permalink

If you’re anything like us, you geek out over pocket-sized notebooks. We’re thinking that Field Notes might give our Moleskine’s a run for their money.

Paine's Park Fundraiser

Paine’s Park Fundraiser permalink

Come one come all to The Khyber this Thursday nite for a fundraiser being held to raise money for the Paine’s Park Project. They’re the organization responsible for the building the oft talked about skatepark on the banks of the Schuykill (next to the Art Museum). It’s a great cause for such a skateboarding city and will help keep the momentum behind the project. Bands (including McRad!) kick off at 9pm and it’s a $10 donation at the door. See you there!
