New Art Correspondent Freddi C hits up MOCA for opening night
We previewed the Transmission LA: AV CLUB last week, and sent new Art Correspondent Freddi C with mic and camera in tow to check out the exhibit. This was her recap… As the sun set downtown at the Geffen Contemporary MOCA, the Veuve flowed under an enormous shiny Mercedes-Benz logo suspended to look like a giant […]

The Avant-Garde Diaries hosts their 2nd exhibit in L.A.
We were guests of Mercedes-Benz last night at their Transmission LA: AV CLUB exhibit, and the show was by all means a great success.

Mike D curates Mercedes Benz' "Transmission LA: AV Club"
When you’re offered five minutes with one of your heroes, you jump on it with vigor like Kool Aid-geeked grade schoolers on a trampoline. Or at least, you should.

The Invention of Lying, Twilight New Moon, Couples Retreat and Sherlock Holmes in short blast format
While flying to Italy for another top secret mission (to be disclosed in the very near future) I was forced to suffer through Lufthansa’s in-flight entertianment, which actually isn’t all that bad.

LIAS goes deep undercover at the Long Beach Formula D
It was supposed to be just another Tuesday. Do some laundry, write a little, get a haircut, and apply for non-existent jobs. That all changed when I woke up to an email from Charlie Meadows asking, “U wanna go Drifting today?” Ummm, huh? I had no idea what that meant. I thought he was cracking […]
