        <![CDATA[<p>After a brief appearance for the 2011 Academy Awards (apparently) it gave acclaimed street artist/vandal Banksy just enough time to work on the back of Urban Outfitters in Westwood, Los Angeles.  </p>

<p>Obviously the city doesn't share his fan base's affection for graffiti and painted his canvas blank.  What once showcased an Asian child holding a machine gun with a RAINBOW colored magazine clip of bullets and standing in a patch of flowers, now showcases...nothing.  Take a look...</p>

<img alt="entrepreneur magazine" src="http://www.emagascene.com/weblog/onthescene/entrepeneur.jpg" width="600" height="101" /></p>

<p>According to the latest issue of ENTREPRENEUR The "In" Crowd Deep within New York City's SoHo district beats the tireless pulse of Thrillist.com, an e-mail newsletter service that keeps its 21- to 34-year-old male target audience in the know with strategic tidbits of information on everything from culture and food to gadgets and travel.</p>

<p>Launched in 2005, Thrillist.com produces local content for seven major U.S. cities and 500,000 subscribers, but Lerer and Rich stay behind the scenes as much as possible and let the newsletters do the talking. Says Lerer, "We're not looking to run around as the center of attention."</p>

<p><img alt="thrillist makes the grade in Los Angeles and New York" src="http://www.emagascene.com/weblog/onthescene/thrillist.jpg" width="600" height="100" /></p>

<p>Culture Club: So who are the masterminds behind the brand? Two suave University of Pennsylvania grads who, after brief stints at a tech company and a hotel chain, joined forces to create a single, trusted voice for guys their age. They work hard, play hard and mirror their readers perfectly. They also foster a great company culture with seafood dinners to recognize good work, monthly meetings over a cold beer and a standing offer to cover the airfare whenever a Thrillist.com editor based in another city wants to reconnect with home base.</p>

<p>Running with the Big Dogs: Initially fueled by investors, the company now holds its own thanks to hundreds of advertisers, including American Express and Skyy Vodka. Future plans include expanding into more cities, developing content in new areas, reaching 1 million subscribers by 2010 and becoming an online destination, thanks to a redesigned site launched in September. "It's not a question of what keeps us going," says Rich, "but a question of why would we stop?"</p>]]>

<p>From 2002-2006 I was attending classes at the Groundlings Theatre.  While I worked my way through several levels of various comedic academia, I also wanted to work on my writing chops and take a stab on stage at the Improv.  </p>

<p>Mark Lanow, (co-owner of the legendary L.A. Improv on Melrose Ave)  held this 3 month workshop series for creating and practicing stand-up.  Ultimately ending with a night up on stage, delivering your finest 5 minutes of material 3 months of writing and re-writing could manifest.</p>

<p>Thought it might be fun to publish some of my material. I'll save my video and routine write-up for the last.  Until then...enjoy!   You won't get THIS kind of entertainment on HBO. </p>

<p><strong>HELLO</strong></p>

<p>Hello, I wanted to let you all know that I finally had it with the homeless. I just had some homeless, toothless, smelly little bitch jump on the hood of my car begging for a buck.  Where do we draw the line?  I was under the impression that we were helping these people by giving them money.  How is this helping. Wouldn’t help mean that it’s in hope of some potential progress?  I think that we’re giving them money to keep them schitzo, drunk and ugly.  I love hearing people saying that it’s good to give whatever extra you have in your pocket.  What makes these fucking people think that I don’t need that buck twenty-five in my pocket to pay for a meter?  I’ve had this happen several times now, where I give some poor bastard my pocket change, and later I go to fill a meter and don’t have a fucking dime.  Now I have to go and change a buck, and in this time I now get a thirty dollar ticket.  In essence this money is now going to the city who keep the streets clean, which is cleaning the home of the homeless fuck that I just gave my last quarter to.  So who’s working for who people? </p>

<p>If we really wanted to do something useful with these people, we would start using them for advertising.  I already see them roaming around in Lakers jerseys.  And look at the turnout at Laker games…I mean…Hello!!!! This is valuable advertising.  Personally, I would like to see them walking around in bad shirts from the 80’s like the tuxedo printed on the t-shirt.  Or maybe just stick them in piano neck ties.  If not to serve any purpose but to crack me up.  I would like to see the city round them up and give them mandatory tap dance lessons, and whenever anyone gives them money, they would be able to bust out in a little jig and flash their jazz hands in a tux tshirt and piano tie.  Wouldn’t that be great! </p>

<p>I’m fed up throwing my money at nothing.  The only thing I like about the homeless is that they really help boost my ego.  No matter how shitty my life might be, all I have to do is look at some filthy homeless fuck to know my life really isn’t so bad.  </p>

<p>I’ve also got some good style habits from these people.  I’ll wear my clothes even if they’re dirty.  I also learned that half eaten pizza out of the garbage doesn’t taste half bad. <br />
Now that I think about it, how different are we from the homeless really?<br />
All we think about is money.<br />
If we’re not asleep, we’re drunk.<br />
Most of us eat garbage.<br />
O.K. I don’t know where I was going with that one.</p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<p><strong>A VICIOUS CYCLE</strong></p>

<p>A Vicious Cycle...</p>

<p>1. Everyone comes to Hollywood to be a star<br />
2. All the stars in Hollywood are borderline schitzo and crazy.<br />
3. A lot of people want to have the life of stars, but in reality they want to be crazy.<br />
4. Stars now want to be normal<br />
5. Stars stop wearing fancy clothes, washing their hair, wearing deodorant, stop all the functions of <br />
      normal everyday life.<br />
6. Stars are morphing into homeless people.<br />
7. You can’t tell the difference between homeless people and stars in L.A. until you follow them out to a <br />
    parking lot and see whether they crawl into a dumpster or a Mercedes.   And even then you’re not <br />
    sure.  <br />
8. So now we’re supposed to be good people and help the homeless.  So essentially your giving the <br />
    dirty people on the street your lose change, and the dirty people in the movies $9.00 for a fucking <br />
    movie ticket.<br />
9. And it doesn’t end here.  We’re not done getting fucked yet.<br />
10. The city, the homeless, and parking meters<br />
11. So now the homeless have all your change<br />
12. The stars get about a 1/4 of your paycheck each month<br />
13. The city gets 45.00 a ticket<br />
14. And your left dilluded wondering if Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopes are really right for one another.<br />
15. Who’s working for who people?<br />
  </p>

<p><strong>MY NAME'S A.</strong></p>

<p>Hi I’m Andy, and you know I am standing up here thinking to myself… hmmm…this isn’t really the way I thought things would turn out.  I think I’m funny, but that is only because my parents made me go to church when I was little.  I take care of my body, but the only ones that really appreciate it, want to pay me 500 bucks and videotape me jacking off.  I mean my perspective on life is seriously warped here.  I thought I had morals until I realized the only reason I talked to old people was so I could go through their pockets and purses and look for any loose pills.   Which, in case none of you have tried, these people are on some good shit.  I strongly recommend any of you guys trying to slip it in some old bitch, and the minute she’s not looking, clean out that fucking pill case.  This can’t be healthy,  I’ve been feeling like I need some inspiration.  Something stable and good,  so I turn to television.<br />
And low and behold, what the fuck is on…Oprah. I admit, I can take her in 10 minute doses, like any chick.  First off, you can’t miss her, the woman’s head is bigger than her ass,…she’s got a huge ass.  Now she’s doing  some weird shit with her hair that tries to even her out, they’re making her hair bigger than her ass.  What’s going on here.</p>

<p>Movin' on… I admit, I’ll watch once in awhile.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>SICK AND TIRED</strong></p>

<p>I am sick of… </p>

<p>CONSTANTLY stocking vegetables<br />
Making juice<br />
Cleaning the juicer<br />
Un-cramming the juicer<br />
Showing up on time, and working for around 7hrs with no break or sitting.<br />
And then once the shift IS over getting a measly $15 bucks in tips for 7 hours….THIS IS A BIGGIE!!!!<br />
This really pisses me off.<br />
I hate wearing long sleeve black shirts, and black stacks, in the middle of the fucking summer, in the middle of a feng shue style in/out style atmosphere…lame, lame, lame.<br />
I hate having to climb the ladder a couple times EVERYDAY, which is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. To stock only what we’re usually out of.<br />
I don’t like busting my ass off for no money, only to be greeted with all of the busser's side work at the end of the shift.<br />
I don’t like servers that can see what you are doing, yet lack the self motivation to start something for themselves, in case you are with a customer.<br />
I work primarily for the best interest of the restaurant and it’s customers, it’s very hard to complete this goal if my co-workers, and reimbursement are not equal.  I appreciate all of the management and kitchen team very much.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>TRUST</strong></p>

<p>See, see how I just had your trust…then I took it and threw it up in the air and let it fall.  That is just the type of person I am.  I suppose it has something to do with my childhood.  Same old story, Dad’s a transvestite, Mom’s a convicted sex offender, you see it every day.  Ha!  Just kidding, see I’m playing with that trust thing…what do I believe…hmmm???  Is he lying right now?…</p>

<p><br />
<strong>EXTRA EXTRA !!!</strong></p>

<p>So, I’m once again establishing my working reputation through atmosphere work.  There is nothing that validates your life and career better than being extra.  I love the energy and anticipation as you prepare yourself for 16 hours of sitting and mouthing nothing repeatedly. </p>

<p>Once in awhile breaking the cycle by throwing out a surprised expression at what shocking revelation you just processed.</p>

<p>I love the extras that have a shocking revelation at least 10 times a scene.  Oops! Gotta run, they need me on set.  They're shooting a BAR scene, and it needs a patron with a great side profile and who can really make a statement without saying a word.  That's the beauty of the beast my friends.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>MEN ARE SO EXPLOITED</strong></p>

<p>Men are so exploited these days.  Just look at advertising, television and fashion.  It seems like every other page of a magazine, or channel on television has a guy with his clothes off.<br />
Now I don’t necessarily have a problem with a man selling the image of sex.  The problem I have is a man using the image of sex to sell cat litter!…Hello I mean seriously people…I’m pissed about this because I once had a great respect for the art of cat litter advertising.  Take for instance, a cute little kitten squatting in a field of daisies…who wouldn’t buy that.  Hell, I liked it so much I got a Fresh scoop tattoo on my butt.  But now they have the same image, but now it just has naked men running around it while it shits, what’s going on here?</p>

<p><br />
<strong>UNDERARM ANTICS </strong></p>

<p>I see all of these beautiful celebrities from time to time gracing us with their presence here in Los Angeles.  And I’ve found more times than not, they smell like beef soup. Apparently they live under the strict regime where any and all underarm products are banned. I'm in complete awe of their universal ability to regularly and non chalantly dismiss the nostrils of those which surround them.  I suppose I just don’t make enough money to smell like shit and still be able to have the world at your feet pretending the air is fair and they don't care.  Hell, the more the merrier.   But God, the day I do... Watch out!, you have got some ass sweat coming to you!  </p>

<p></p>

The Alley in Westwood Directly Behind Urban Outfitters Is The New Home For His Latest Work.</p>

<p>After Christina Aguilera bought an original of Queen Victoria as a lesbian and two prints for £25,000, on 19 October 2006 a set of Kate Moss paintings sold in Sotheby's London for £50,400, setting an auction record for Banksy's work.</p>

<p>The six silk-screen prints, featuring the model painted in the style of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe pictures, sold for five times their estimated value. His stencil of a green Mona Lisa with real paint dripping from her eyes sold for £57,600 at the same auction.</p>

<p> In December, journalist Max Foster coined the phrase, "the Banksy effect", to illustrate how interest in other street artists was growing on the back of Banksy's success.</p>

<p>February 2007, Sotheby's auction house in London auctioned three works, reaching the highest ever price for a Banksy work at auction: over £102,000 for his Bombing Middle England. Two of his other graffiti works, Balloon Girl and Bomb Hugger, sold for £37,200 and £31,200 respectively, which were well above their estimated prices. The following day's auction saw a further three Banksy works reach soaring prices: Ballerina With Action Man Parts reached £96,000; Glory sold for £72,000; Untitled (2004) sold for £33,600; all significantly above estimated values. To coincide with the second day of auctions, Banksy updated his website with a new image of an auction house scene showing people bidding on a picture that said, "I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit."</p>

<p><img alt="love.jpg" src="http://www.emagascene.com/weblog/onthescene/love.jpg" width="600" height="480" /></p>

<p>In February 2007, the owners of a house with a Banksy mural on the side in Bristol decided to sell the house through Red Propeller art gallery after offers fell through because the prospective buyers wanted to remove the mural. It is listed as a mural that comes with a house attached.</p>

<p><br />
In April 2007, Transport for London painted over Banksy's iconic image of a scene from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, featuring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta clutching bananas instead of guns. Although the image was very popular, Transport for London claimed that the "graffiti" created "a general atmosphere of neglect and social decay which in turn encourages crime" and their staff are "professional cleaners not professional art critics".</p>

<p><img alt="tidy2.jpg" src="http://www.emagascene.com/weblog/onthescene/tidy2.jpg" width="600" height="480" /></p>

<p>Banksy tagged the same site again (pictured at right). This time the actors were portrayed as holding real guns instead of bananas, but they were adorned with banana costumes. Banksy made a tribute art piece over this second Pulp Fiction piece. The tribute was for 19-year-old British graffiti artist Ozone who, along with fellow artist Wants, was hit by an underground train in Barking, East London on 12 January 2007. The piece was of an angel wearing a bullet-proof vest holding a skull. He also wrote a note on his website saying:</p>

<p>    The last time I hit this spot I painted a crap picture of two men in banana costumes waving hand guns. A few weeks later a writer called Ozone completely dogged it and then wrote 'If it's better next time I'll leave it' in the bottom corner. When we lost Ozone we lost a fearless graffiti writer and as it turns out a pretty perceptive art critic. Ozone – rest in peace.[citation needed]</p>

My guess to the time and place Banksy chose our lovely little Westwood Village as his canvas is because his 2010 documentary <a href="http://www.banksyfilm.com/videos.html?reload">EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP</a> is up for an Academy Award and he's here in Los Angeles until then.  Either way, I had no idea who this man was until I was walking through the alley and suddenly saw this surreal image of a Asian child holding a rifle (with a rainbow magazine of bullets) at a NO PARKING sign.  I must say that this was a first for me.  The image is pretty incredible.<br />

<p>Gentlemen (and ladies) remember to leave your dollar bills in your wallet, these girls only accept Visa.  Visa, ...it's everywhere you want to be.  Oh and another thing, please DO NOT ask the ladies to pick up silver dollars without their hands.  That's one trick best left to the imagination.</p>

<p><img alt="Forty Deuce Nightclub Los Angeles" src="http://www.emagascene.com/weblog/onthescene/Forty_deuce_1.jpg" width="600" height="400"/></p>

<p>Ivan Kanes <strong>Forty Deuce</strong> "classic" burlesque and its rock 'n roll counterpart, Royal Jelly, entertained standing-room only crowds for seven years at Ivan Kane's two renowned clubs in Hollywood and Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.</p>

<p>Now Forty Deuce can ONLY be seen Friday nights at Ivan Kane's Café Was, the new bohemian bistro, bar and live music venue in the heart of Hollywood, from the man who created Forty Deuce.</p>

<p><br />
<a href="http://www.urbandaddy.com/la/nightlife/7379/Forty_Deuce_Fridays_The_Return_of_the_Forty_Deuce_Girls_Los_Angeles_LA_Hollywood_Lounge">According to Urbandaddy.com</a> (a local in-the-know blog)</p>

<p>There was a time before you were endlessly assaulted by words like "too big to fail," "public option" and "Gosselin." A time when Kanye wasn't a punch line.</p>

<p>There was a time…of burlesque.</p>

<p>And that time is back in a big way—welcome to Forty Deuce Fridays at Ivan Kane's Cafe Was.</p>

<p>We don't need to remind you about the impressively limber girls who took to the stage (and the bar, and the rafters), backed by a rollicking jazz band, at the late, great Forty Deuce on Melrose. But we're going to anyway, just to let you enjoy the visual for a moment.</p>

<p>There. Now transplant that image to Kane's latest spot—bigger, crazier and more confounding, with hidden rooms, balconies, a sweeping staircase leading nowhere. Now, every Friday, the girls will use the whole place as their new stage. Again. For the first time.</p>

<p>There'll be two shows a night, so you can do a three-course prix-fixe dinner for, yes, $42 before the 10pm show—or just come in for some flask service before the midnight follow-up. And there's no cover, no velvet rope, so if you just want to hit the bar for a drink and watch it all go down, that's cool.</p>

<p>Burlesque is nothing if not flexible.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p><br />
ABOUT US...<br />
Deer Boy is a holiday lighting service.  We specialize in animated deer  displays. Born in the flats of Beverly Hills just 5 years ago,  the demand for DEER Boy grows as he continues to impress clients with price, quality and superb results.</p>

<p><object width="600" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xQSPd14jitI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xQSPd14jitI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="600" height="385"></embed></object></p>

<p>WHAT'S THE JIFF?<br />
You’ve undoubtedly seen a deer or two thrown into the outdoor lighting mix  over the years.  Usually they appear cheap and excessive.  That was then.  We took the concept of clearing out the excess and start simply with deer.</p>

<p>There are numerous pros when it comes to decorating a landscape solely with deer.  But one of the primary reasons is that ...no matter the size...no matter the number... the reindeer always appear naturally complete & completely magical.</p>

<p>How many strands of lights and other illuminated products have you thrown out over the past 10 years? Think of all the time and money you’ve invested purchasing, replacing, fixing, hanging, unraveling, taking down, re-raveling...only to do the same thing over and over.   (and sometimes in the same season)</p>

<p>Here’s where DEER Boy jumps in...</p>

<p><br />
WHY USE DEER Boy?<br />
NO OVERHEAD allows us to price our services well below competition!</p>

<p>Since our premium quality reindeer are purchased directly from the manufacturer, we’re able to keep our resale costs and services to a minimum.  </p>

<p>Deer Boy’s expert installation is guaranteed  to keep your deer lit throughout the holiday  season.  </p>

<p><br />
WHAT’S INCLUDED?<br />
Premium Select Reindeer(s)<br />
Installation materials<br />
Available 24/7 for any repair or maintenance services<br />
Set them up,  keep them working correctly and finally, taking them all down and prepare for storage.</p>

<p>DEER Boy is THE creative and custom solution that will last many seasons to come. <br />

        <![CDATA[<p><br />
The last several years I've basically avoided the world of SUV's.  Mainly because they just didn't seem economically, socially and environmentally relevant to the modern man.  Unless you had a family of four or carpooled several coworkers, there was no justification I could find in purchasing one.  </p>

<p>Those days are quickly drawing near to a close.  With the birth of the new 2011 Rover series, tomorrow's sport utility has become available today.</p>

<p>The 2011 Range Rover features a new V8 diesel engine, new 8-speed transmission, two significant Terrain Response® upgrades and subtle external styling enhancements all combine to ensure the 2011 Range </p>

<p>Rover retains its crown as king of the luxury SUV segment. </p>

<p>The all-new LR-TDV8 4.4-litre with parallel sequential turbocharging, specifically designed for the Range Rover, replaces the 3.6-litre LR-TDV8 and combines substantially increased performance with greatly reduced emissions. </p>

<p>Land Rover introduced the 2011 Range Rover Autobiography Black Limited Edition celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Range Rover at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering. Held on the grounds of the Quail Lodge Resort and Golf Club in Carmel, Calif., the event is a key part of the annual Pebble Beach weekend celebrating classic automobiles and racecars. The 2011 Range Rover Autobiography Black 40th Anniversary Limited Edition is the most luxurious, most exclusive Range Rover model ever built.</p>

<p>Spanning from the 1860’s through today, the <strong>Houser / Haozous</strong> story is a journey exploring the incarceration of a people, growth brought on by freedom, and a family’s personal expression of these experiences through art. </p>

<p>Recently released as Prisoners of War, Sam and Blossom Haozous’ passed down oral traditions of the Apache people to their son Allan Houser. </p>

<p>These shared memories molded his artwork, and in turn helped him become one of the 20th Century’s most important artists.  Allan then passed these same family experiences down to his own sons who are fulfilling their destinies as the next generation of Native American artists. </p>

<p>This might as well have been playing throughout Kimmel's and Silverman's entire relationship.  It's certainly more interesting!</p>

<p>Face it, Silverman had the last word.  As much as this might hurt the male ego, it doesn't make it any less true.  And it's not that she had the last word...it's that they were "...I'm fucking Matt Damon."</p>

<p>Almost a year later...</p>

<p>Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have split for a second time, Us Weekly reported on Saturday.</p>

<p>Jimmy and Sarah dated for five years after meeting on the Comedy Central show Crank Yankers.The comedians reunited last Fall after breaking up in July 2008, but the chances of reconciliation around are slim this time around, a source told the mag.</p>

<p>“Sarah initiated the split this time. He’s bummed.”</p>

<p>“He’s really blue — very down,” another source added. “Seems like it’s over for good this time. He’s sad because he just bought a new place and now has nobody to share it with.”</p>]]>
