Old Song, New Twist
musicjunks:
Do you like Miles Fisher? His latest EP marks a new… peak… of professionalism. This is his take on David Byrne’s, This Must Be The Place. A great, great song. And a personal favorite. Brandon

More Than Just a Steak
Walking into Al Biernat’s, you immediately find yourself in the bar starring up at the large domed ceiling debating what to drink. There is always a crowd gathered here and pushing past them to the host stand can sometimes be a chore. Our group was large so it was going to take a little while before we could be seated. We ordered drinks and ended up stepping outside onto the patio so that we...

Naughty Dinner
Last night we dined at Central 214. Upon arriving, we were surrounded by a crowd of young hipsters with gelled hair and tightly fitting clothing. The space was vibrant and excitable, filled with lots of voices carrying on their own conversations at different tables and corners of the bar. We waited in a short line to speak to the host, who informed us they had lost our reservation. Quickly,...
First, but not in taste...
Last night I went to Cafe Pacific in Highland Park Village. The antique appeal was quaint and inviting. Looking around the room, the avg clientelle was older, drinking wine and chomping on lobster tails. There was an elderly couple next to us celebrating their 50th anniversary while showing every waiter, maiter D, and sommelier, a picture they had brought with them of their first...

And I thought Blow was big in the eighties

Guess who outsold... ?
And Mazda? And Volvo? And Cadillac? And Acura? And Suzuki? And Mitsubishi? And Chrysler? And Jeep? And Mercedes Benz? And VW?
SUBARU!!
From the Wall Street Journal…
Like June, Subaru is on top again by a wide margin. The AWD-all-the-time brand came out of July smelling like a rose with sales up a whopping 34%. Only the Tribeca posted a sales drop, and even then it was only 10%....

The Lords Day
I spent my Sunday trying to get a reservation at The Grape on Greenville Ave. I love their brunch and tried to get a reservation for 7 yesterday afternoon. I was turned down and told the earliest the could get me in was 5:30. Although great for business, it was bad for me as I was craving Texas Monthly’s pick for #1 Best Burger in Texas. I ended up going to dinner at 6:30 and all I have to...
About Damn Time
Well, it’s finally our time to shine, and a great time to be doing what it is I am doing. Ford has posted its first gains since the first quarter of 2008. Thanks to massive debt reductions, Ford posted a $2.3 billion dollar gain in the second quarter of 2009, beating out the expected hemmoraging of debt wall street had predicted. So now, as it stands, Chrysler and GM continue to punish...
TEDxSMU
So, this is my first post to my blog and wow, I have to say, I’m really excited about this one. My good friend Casey Anderson opened my eyes to TED, the genius symposium held annually either in CA or Oxford. TED 2009 is currently underway in Oxford, England as we speak, and TED 2010 is already sold out for next year. TED stands for, Technology, Entertainment, Design, and has awesome...
