SPACE RACE - Gene & The Esquires

One of the greatest surf songs I've ever heard. Think surfing into the galactic ocean of the universe.

WORLD'S LARGEST ICE MAZE

The Center Piece of the 1st Annual Buffalo Powder Keg Winter Festival is the World's Largest Ice Maze. The Maze was completed Thursday night 2.25.10 and contains almost 2,200 - 300lb blocks of ice. Amanda Mochan from Guinness World Records was in Buffalo to confirm and make the presentation to Jeff Empric of the "Roaming Buffaloes" adventure club and Newell Nussbaumer of Buffalo Rising, Co-Founders of the Powder Keg Festival. The Maze beats the record set in Toronto in 2005.

Pictures of the Decade

Sometimes I forget what has been happening on Earth in the last decade only to then realize how fortunate but also strangely removed I am, being here in Los Angeles, where we (as of yet) do not to have the kinds of terrorist attacks, wars, and strife depicted in many of these photos. Its time we, as a whole, move forward with embracing one another and reflect love and understanding not hatred and ignorance. Of course, its easier said than done. But simple actions can start waves of change.

BTW - I discovered an AMAZING Burger joint in LA called Umami burger. Its delicious, its gourmet, its a bit pricey but worth it and if you go during happy hour you can order their 'SMASH' burger for only $5! Its heaven in a bun.

Kseniya Simonova ~ ARTISTIC GENIUS

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS ~ Magnum Opus

Tarantino does an immaculate job of balancing various genres of film-making and threading them into a mesmerizing and poignant period flick. It plays much like a Western only set in war torn France during the Nazi invasion. His writing is full of wit and intrigue and the performances, for the most part, are terrific. Christopher Waltz shows true genius in his performance combining humor, terror, and cunning vindictiveness. He deserves the academy award nomination, if not, the award itself. A must see film. Full of every element that makes you want to toss back some popcorn and be swept away by cinema. (by Rob Kolar)

I recently saw the film NETWORK again. It is phenomenal. As relevant as ever (maybe more with our current affairs). If you have never seen it, or haven't watched in a while, or just finished it I urge you to view this work of genius. Rob

Here are some memorable scenes. (don't watch if you want more of surprise)
