2013 ART CENTER CAR CLASSIC rocks the socks… off @art_center #design #cardesign @Dave_Kunz
Great show in Pasadena over the weekend. Had a chance to hang with some greats including host Dave Kunz, Chevrolet Designer Tom Peters, Honda Chief Designer Dave Marek (above) and of course, the Jaymeister. Saw some incredible cars and brought back some great memories of going to school there back in the 80′s. Check out these awesome rides.. amounting to about a billion dollars worth.
WATCH! X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURES PAST New Trailer! #xmen #movietrailer
This looks very characters driven without a lot of CG Effects. That’s a good sign for the latest X Installment. What do you think?
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from “X-Men: First Class,” in an epic battle that must change the past — to save our future.
From the Set… TRANSFORMERS 4: AGE OF EXTINCTION! #transformers4 #transformers @chevrolet
PLOT: “A mechanic (Mark Wahlberg) and his daughter (Nicola Peltz) make a discovery that brings down Autobots and Decepticons – and a paranoid government official – on them.”

For the perfect Italian feast, it’s CAFFE DELFINI… #italian #italianfood #dinner #pasta @pasta
Kathie and I headed out last night in the 2014 KIA FORTE EX, in search of the best Italian food within a 10 mile radius. Why take a Korean Car to an Italian restaurant? Because that’s how we roll… But after meeting the owner of CAFFE DELFINI GianPietro Silardi at the door of this San Francisco-esque Italian nook, and with a huge “Bona Serra,” I knew we were in for a treat…
GianPietro and his partner Alex have run this place for over 20 years and it’s clear because it was virtually flawless. We sat in a warm quiet spot and were immediately greeted with Chianti and a tart Bruschetta that only made me realize I was hungrier than I thought.
Then, as the Bruschetta was #1, we began an Italian journey of tastes that escalated from one to the next. The #2 was an Arugula Salad with no skimp on the Parmesan and the Basalmic dressing was off the chart. I kept thinking I should have another, but that would have made the upcoming #4 impossible. I wasn’t gonna be THAT instigator.
The #3 was a tremendous surprise and an exclusive to CAFFE DELFINI. GianPietro called it “Zinguini.” Zuccini prepared like pasta with a variety of saucy choices. We picked the Pesto (shown) and the fiery Arriabiata. Both were fantastic, but the biggest awesomeness was the fact that we weren’t actually eating Pasta, but straight-up veggies! And being a vegetarian, I was left with ZERO guilt. Cha… and that meant…
The #4.
It came swiftly after I slurped the final Pesto droplet with a warm slice of bread. And that,… was the Flour-less Chocolate Cake. Not cake… Not Mousse… not like anything I’ve ever had. And I’ve had EVERYTHING. Although we couldn’t finish it, I wished that I could magically go back in time and start this process all over again.
Wait… That was last night. I CAN!
Do yourself a favor and head to this Italian Gem in the Palisades right off PCH at Channel. Celebrate that new job. Celebrate your engagement. Celebrate Life. Or… just Celebrate the fact that there’s people out there creating awesomeness. BIG THANKS to GianPietro and Alex. I’ll be back…
