London to Paris

October 9th, 2009  |  Published in Movies  |  Comment

I haven’t traveled from London to Paris straight, but did oversleep and miss a tour coach along with my roommate this past March (too much exploring/partying I guess, and lack of sleep). We hopped on the Eurostar bullet train to try and catch the rest of the Contiki group at the London Pub, but were 10-minutes late and had to catch the next one =\

Anyways, ‘London to Paris’.

AllOrNothingproductions.com present ‘London to Paris’, directed by Grace Ladoja, documents 10 riders from all over the world making the track bike journey from London to Paris to meet Lance Armstrong as the Tour De France 2009 comes to a close. Made in association with Nike Sportswear’s CTRS project, the film’s NYC premiere is set for late October 2009… stages09.com

This is a cool site/music project, Black Cab Sessions.

The sessions are all about great music and the venue strips this to its essense. We aren’t picky about genre and will happily open the cab door to anyone who blows us away…

I heard about it through Tony Hawk’s tweet early this morning. They feature artists such as: Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, The Cool Kids, Lykke Li, and many more great musicians.

My Bare Lady

December 14th, 2008  |  Published in TV  |  Comment

I was browsing Hulu trying to see what new shows they have added to their library—when I found this series, My Bare Lady.

Things heat up when four American adult film stars are sent to London’s most prestigious theatrical school to prove they can really act. When the curtain goes up, someone’s going down.

When you think you have seen it all, you are then surprised with “reality” shows like this one. Anyways, here’s the first episode of My Bare Lady[1].
