Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic) – Jonathan Coulton
Let’s the Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic Edition) continue! Sorry, if I’m a little stuck on some 90’s songs but this version of this classic song is one that I love!

So, Sir-Mix-A-Lot made “Baby Got Back” famous but Jonathan Coulton made it even more amazing! Since I’m “back” in LA today (I’ll be at the Fitness Meet & Tweet likely with a whole bunch of chicks with some “back”), I figured I’d share this live version of this song. If you think you heard it on “Glee”, […]
4 Days in NYC – Almost A Hugh Grant Movie
In case you wondering why there was no post on Friday, it was partly because I was in New York and we have no Internet connection in our Brooklyn apartment and partly because I ran around like a chicken without a head over a 4 day period. I’d say a funeral, a business meeting, multiple reunions, a bar mitzvah and the loss of 2 teeth. It may not quite have been “Four Weddings and a Funeral” but it ranks damned close.
Grand Army Plaza is right near my apartment […]
Three Local Running Loops For LA Beginning Runners
Today I’m thrilled to have a guest post from one of my newest LA friends, Chris Lam of WhatIRunInto.com. Not only does Chris share my love of fitness and pop-culture but she has a wicked sense of humor. Today just to prove my point about out-and-back runs being something I need to get used to in LA, Chris is going to give her take on where to do (and park) loop runs in LA.

Tunes For Tuesday (Eclectic) – Tone Loc
It’s Tunes for Tuesday (Eclectic) again and since I’m on my way back to NYC for a few days today, I’m featuring a video that reminds me of a one very crazy night in Chinatown.

Today’s featured tune is “Funky Cold Medina” by Tone Loc. If you were anywhere in the 90’s you heard this song constantly. However, nothing is funnier than seeing a friend who you never expected perform this song in a karaoke club in Chinatown.
This friend of mine is the one with “no filter” […]

A Red Carpet Affair – CBGB the Movie
Last week Jay and I were lucky enough to be invited to attend the LA premiere of “CBGB the Movie” by none other than Lisa Kristal Burgman, the daughter of the owner and founder of CBGB, Hilly Kristal. Did you recognize the CBGB stage from my post earlier this week? Lisa and Jay are work colleagues and she has made CBGB a part of of our life for awhile:

It was an honor to be invited to share this event with Lisa and her husband, Ger. CBGB the Movie was not only a way for Lisa to honor her father (who passed away in August 2007) but it was in many ways a tribute to the time and life of a man who loved music and wound up a pioneer in ushering in the New York City punk music explosion in the early 1970’s.
