Jun 7th
The idea for a play about a neighborhood bar open for its last night was ironically conceived in a bar.

Firestone Walker Certified Cicerone Takes Us To Beer School
May 27th
If you asked me if I missed my college as much as I miss my out-of-control college drinking, I would say yes. If you ask me if I missed college in general, I would probably say no. However there was a school I didn’t mind going – it was going to beer school with Jace Milstead. More >

Tin Roof Ranch: Happy Chickens Come from Hawaii
May 12th
One night I had a dream I went to the North Shore of Oahu and played with dogs, chickens, and horses under a rainbow while drinking homemade wine and beer. There were surfboards for all and two trusty, strapping, young ranch hands guiding me to the most ultimate surf spot. I hopped on a board with the dogs and chickens and did an hang-ten in a handstand on the Banzai Pipeline.
As I rode a rogue wave across the Kamehameha highway, I arrived at my vacation rental at the Tin Roof Ranch, where I spent the rest of the day eating from the garden that had Japanese eggplant and miniature pineapples. A Samoan came and hacked down a couple of coconuts for me to drink (coconut water has a lot of electrolytes). Thommi, the cabbie arrived to steal me away back to Waikiki. I said my goodbyes, caught a dove on my hand as only seen in Disney movies by princesses, and got in the cab. More >
Firefly Bistro in Pasadena, Sunday Blues Brunch, You Had Me at Hello
May 4th
I am not good with showing my emotions, especially passion. Maybe I wasn’t hugged enough as a child, maybe too many of my goldfish died, or maybe I am afraid to wake up one day and lose it all. Maybe I am being dramatic but thankfully there are people like Paul Rosenbluh and Carl Weintraub who don’t mind sharing their passion. We spent a short Sunday morning with them at their restaurant, Firefly Bistro in Pasadena, California. Thanks to their passion, the trinity of food, music and booze can come together and create Fooboosic. Yes, I coined a term. Come on Merriam-Webster! More >
The O in O Hotel In Downtown Los Angeles Stands For Oh Yes
Apr 29th
Modern Day Romance
This is a fine setting for a romantic comedy with or without John Cusack. Our main characters would first meet at the lobby bar of the intimate O Hotel. She’s sitting by the long fireplace with a chardonnay waiting for her girlfriends to come downstairs. He sits across at the restaurant with his boys. Eye contact is made. He is hesitant but he updates his Facebook status ‘This girl sitting across is pretty and I think she’s looking at me.’ Within minutes one of his boys sitting at the table with him comments on his status, ‘Go for it, dude!’ He walks up to her with courage.
