The Soho House Group will be adding another location to their portfolio of private member clubs
Soho Beach House Miami
It is slated to open this Fall
I really wish they would have used some brighter colors inside. When I think of Miami, moody blues and brown do not come to mind.

Xaphoon Jones: If people give you shit for doing something different, you should just ignore it. Keep doing your thing.
Chidera Anamege: Do it for the love, do it cause you love what you doing. Do not try to do it for any monetary purposes or nothing like that. We made The Swelly Express with a budget of zero. We made music that we genuinely appreciated and it got us really far.

My Day of the Dead temporary tattoo
I had fun with this Saturday night.
Scrubbing my arm the next day like an obsessive compulsive on Intervention... not so much fun.
Maira Kalman is brilliant. Check out her blog, "And the Pursuit of Happiness", in the opinion section of the NYT.
Who said opinion sections only included cramped, dry, pretentious words?


Where is happiness?<br />
What is happiness?<br />
What did Thomas Jefferson mean?<br />
The pursuit of happiness.<br />
I visited Dr. James Watson.<br />
Maybe there is a genetic explanation for happiness.<br />And all we need to do is take a pill that puts it into action. I asked him. He could not tell me because no one really knows.<br />
And anyway, everyone has to be sad part of the time; otherwise, you would be insane.<br />
I looked at him. He takes walks. Plays tennis.<br />
He works. He looks at trees. Those are good ways to find happiness.<br />
To find peace of mind. Me? I work. And walk. And go to museums.<br />I look at Velázquez's infanta.Early one morning I go for a walk. I see a woman who I know is a bit out of her mind. I like her. she is walking in a kind of trance, going from tree to tree, stopping at each one to look up at the leaves. Is she acting this way because she drank soda for breakfast her whole life? Once again, I walk across the country. In my head.<br />I visit another school that will have an Edible Schoolyard. This will be the first one in New York City. At the Arturo Toscanini Elementary School on Avenue X in Brooklyn, Celia Kaplinsky, the captivating principal, tells me what Cicero said: “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” There will be a vegetable and fruit garden where a parking lot is now. The children will work and cook and take that experience to their families. And then there will be bounty of a different kind in this country. The United States of America could be less fastly fastly and more slowly slowly. We could think small and shift to a new (old) way of growing food and eating and being. Something that would make the founders happy.

My neighbors thought I was insane when I walked outside with stuffed animals and dumped a jar of gum balls in the grass only to pick them up 10 minutes later...
