Above the Sun, by Coudal Partners:
After the great Chicago Blizzard of 2011, thousands of pounds of snow were removed from city’s downtown streets. Loaded by bulldozers and heavy trucks, much of the snow was piled in the empty lot between our studio and the railroad tracks.
In a collaborative effort between Coudal Partners and The Explorers of the New World Society, an expedition was immediately formed. The goal; a bold assault aiming to place the very first men upon the summit of this peak. Known for their dexterity and grit, Dawson and Matt were selected for the dangerous undertaking. This is their story.
I love the tension, the drama, the humor.

I’ve been finding some great videos on Stellar these past few weeks. Most recently, this cute video of two subway trains waltzing/dancing, by Andrea Allen.

”All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.

Rihanna performed Prince’s Darling Nikki at her concert last night, and Jay Smooth grabbed some video. Nice.
Happy birthday again, Prince.

UnknownUnknown0PlaysToday is Prince’s birthday!
In honor of one of my favorite musicians of all time, I’m playing Parade, Prince, Purple Rain, Sign O’ The Times, and Diamonds and Pearls on repeat today.
Want to listen too? I’ve attached the track I Wanna Be Your Lover to this post. Enjoy!

Had a chance to flip through Veronique Vial’s Women Before 10am today, a collection of photographs of celebrities taken in the morning. It has some really fascinating photos in it; this one of Julie Delpy having breakfast is one of my favorites.
