Now, Goh’s got a project on Kickstarter called “The Dream Sessions: Musical Travel Show”. He is dubbing it, the music version of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. He’ll be traveling the country, playing with some of the best musicians, recording, making original music, eating, chatting, seeing what is in their neck of the woods. What sounds cool is that you would not only see the process of art being made and documented, but, in the end, a finished product… a documentary and potentially, an album.

Already, he has musicians Kid Koala, Tim Bulkley, Jane Lui, Art Hirahara, Gary Wang, and Grand Hallway lined up. It’s still a work in progress, more musicians will be added, but, I know Goh, and Goh makes things happen. He’s a man of his word and when he does it, he does it with sincerity and awesomeness.

You can check out the video above or read all about the Kickstarter Project here. If you can give, do it… if you can spread the word, do it. Living the dream.

This hill of Echo Park is called Angeleno Heights, known for its high concentration of Victorian era homes in Los Angeles. I’ll save some of the grand Victorian homes for another post… some of them are incredible with carriage homes where they used to keep the horses, now turned into second homes and studios. Love this part of Echo Park, it feels like another world.

Dwell Magazine featured Simon’s A-Frame Plant Hanger…

Danny Simon makes all of these A-Frame Plant Hangers by hand in his studio in Long Beach. Made from a combination of deadstock military straps, Ipe wood, and gorgeous brass hardware.

Better Homes & Garden featured the 3-Ring Planter by Eric Trine… what they featured is the steel version, what they didn’t show below is the white powder coated version. Both are awesome.

Eric is California all the way, but, currently he’s living in Portland and refining his craft, making furniture, and all kinds of art/design objects for the home. A natural designer and builder, he sees beyond the object itself… there’s always something else. Just take a look at Eric’s website, you’ll see what I’m talking about.

This one below is for Angie…. Karaoke?

Remember the latest tee design Nathalie did for us? It was to celebrate CicLAvia, the bike event in LA that shuts streets down for people powered peddlers. CicLAvia is happening again on April 15th. There are still some tees left, get them before they are gone forever!

Check out the entire collection of mobiles at Poketo.

Plus more awesome patterns from Andreas Samuelsson below. Those would make pretty killer mobiles too.

I hung out with John and Zach from Portugal, just chilled out over wine and caught up on life. They told me about their tour with the Black Keys, their non-stop globe trotting, and their excitement to step into the studio for their next album. The raddest was that John and Zach actually told me, as we finished the second bottle of red, that the show they played at Poketo was a different vibe, a special one, and personally one of their most memorable. True or not, I’ll take that compliment anytime.

Peep their tour dates coming up for April and May. They are coming to LA! Most likely, they’ll be coming to your city too.
