Hardfest / Hard Summer LA + The Forum + Riot Police = FAIL

On August 9, 2009, in Music, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

Update: Hard has updated their website and are issuing full refunds to the 18,000 people who bought tickets. They also claim no one was seriously injured. While the Hard promoters and producers clearly messed up, it’s now beginning to also look like the entire thing was blown completely out of proportion by the fire department, [...]

Obama Says Screw You to California and Budget Crisis

On June 16, 2009, in Drugs, Life, Politics, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

I love how Obama has no problem bailing out his buddies at GM, AIG, and has completely reversed his opinion on pork barrel spending. Worse yet, he’s even trying to potentially cover up meeting with executives at coal companies. The White House on Tuesday dashed hopes that the federal government would help California overcome a [...]

Why My Blog Looks Like A Newspaper

On June 5, 2009, in Apple, Life, Media, Music, Philosophy, Play, Plugs, Politics, Tech, The Bowl, Women, by Trent Lapinski

In college I confirmed just how stupid all my peers actually were, at Loreal I learned esthetics, at LiveUniverse I learned the importance of user interface design and marketing, and at Playboy I learned the beauty of airbrushing. Combine these experiences and let me tell you all a little something: Appearance is everything. If you [...]

On February 26, 2009, in Health, Life, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

Note: I am not a doctor, nor do I claim to be. These are simply my opinions. Lately I’ve been recalling some rather painful childhood memories for reasons unbeknown, but they have brought some potential insight into why I feel the way I do.

On September 23, 2008, in Health, Life, The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

Update (9-26-08): I ended up seeing a doctor, and just found out the x-rays are clean. This means the accident only caused minor soft tissue damage and there shouldn’t be any long term issues. Monday September 22, I was driving home from work on the freeway in heavy traffic traveling at around 25mph, the second [...]

Digital Potatoes At the Grocery Store

On June 30, 2008, in The Bowl, by Trent Lapinski

So I’m on my iPhone talking to my friend, browsing for some pretzels, and not really paying attention to my surroundings. I take a step to the side to go grab some pretzel sticks only to find a LCD screen displaying advertisements about 10-centimeters from smacking into my head. I’ve grown pretty accustom to seeing [...]
