Move, Eat, Learn

3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning, food...into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films....= a trip of a lifetime.

I am super excited to see the documentary from these guys footage! I love the idea. I wish I would have come up with it :) In 2003 I did 11 countries in 100 days, on a boat, traveling around the world (US, Cuba, S. America, Africa, India, SE Asia, Japan, Seattle etc) but I only have tid bits of film.

This is pretty cool;

Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

Early this summer in June Veuve Clicquot along with their US president Vanessa Kay, Donna Karen and Marc Jacobs hosted the Annual Polo Classic in NY to benefit the Urban Zen Hope Help and Rebuild Haiti (HHRH). The event looked pretty amazing and New Yorkers were invited to enjoy the event for free. There were tons of celebrities, fashionistas, gourmet arranged picnics, lots of champagne drinking and socializing. Wish I could have been there. Veuve was selling hats, blankets etc and chef Gabriel Kreuther was preparing gourmet snacks for the crowd along with the bbq restaurant Blue Smoke, El Verano Taqueria and much more.  

 

Time for Change

Just got back from an amazing time spending 2 days in the kitchen of a 1 star Michelin restaurant in Champagne (Hostellerie La Briqueterie). Was like a dream and can't wait to write about it and refer more clients from Tasty Side to Life Tours to eat there. 

In the meantime, it's time for change. I'm not the best at letting go but the owners are coming back to the 200 meter flat I call home and it's time to move out! I am packing up my flat and searching for another for a September 1 move in date. New Order is getting me through packing bag after bag :) Packing or cooking I could listen to this little jam everyday.
