We assume full control of a participating restaurant, on their slowest night – typically Monday's, select a bad ass culinary god and pair the feast with a local winemaker. To make it interesting for the our guest executive chef we challenge them t …

My hope is to establish a diverse group of surfers of all lifestyles and skill levels dedicated to having a good time while wa …

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit.

Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th century and 18th centuries, were car …
