so, i think that one of the coolest things about the blog world is being able to share things that other people are doing that you might find interesting and exciting. i am often awestruck by the cool things that my friends, loved ones, and people that i wish were my friends are doing, so i figure this is a good place to spread the word. i'll be writing often about the discoveries i make, posting links and photos and songs and art and cards etc. that inspire me, but for now, i want to point your attention to the links that i have listed permanently on the left as my favorite things.
1. ps what i forgot to say
ps... is an excellent project that was started only a few weeks (months?) ago by some of my favorite ladies. they are collecting messages that YOU write in your post script with the intention of turning them into a fun book. for now they have created a blog which they update regularly by adding PS's that are sent in by friends and readers. i read their blog pretty much every day, always humored by the interesting, intriguing, incredibly loving or just plain strange post scripts. check it out and send them your ps's!
2. sliding liberia
"conceived of by stanford fimmaker britton caillouette and stanford phd student nicholai lidow, this surf film/social documentary follows a group of young surfers to iberia in search of more than perfect waves. as they travel through the west african country, devastated by decades of brutal civil war, they record the stories of the people they meet along the way- people like alfred, a young boy who became liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. besides rediscovering a world-class point break that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, the surfers find something much more important-- a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century." sliding liberia is my older brother's first film, and i am very proud of his success! it is now available on dvd, check it out on the website or at your local surf shop!
3. brewer and chase
another project by those that are near and dear to my heart. check 'em out, the music speaks for itself. these boys are extremely talented, and they are young, so watch out because they are going places!
4. cotton idea studio
jujuisgoodluck would be nothing without mindy at cotton idea studio. check out her online boutique and for those of you in orange county, check out her shop in laguna beach. (it's on pch, right across from the guitar shop) it is one of my favorite card stores out there-- mindy has quite a knack for picking out merch. she also designs personal stationary, business cards, invitations and holiday cards. check her out!
5. chris ayer
a music shout out to my friend chris... his music inspires me daily. his lyrics are both brutally honest and beautiful. he manages to always sound intelligent and passionate, and sometimes lost but always trying to figure it out. chris is out there in the world putting his whole heart into what he loves, and trust me, if you make your way to a chris ayer show sometime not only will you not be disappointed but you will definitely leave wanting to buy the guy a drink.
6. Clo-Mor printing
lisa from clo-mor printing not only did all of the pressing for jujuisgoodluck but she helped me every step of the way as i am just figuring this whole thing out. i would be nothing without lisa!
7. the passionate collector
i recently had the privilege of accompanying susan (of the passionate collector) and her most valuable consultant (my good friend kate) on one of their buying missions. before that night i had no idea how much thought goes into every single piece that is for sale on the passionate collector. i also didn't realize that she has a whole line of eco-friendly things! awesome! check 'em out, and go green!
8. finally... my guilty pleasure... john mayer's blog
i wouldn't be honest with you if i didn't list this under my favorite things and key influences. you can judge me... i already admitted to not being cool.
alrighty, have i given you enough homework for the day? yay!
feel free to email me, jujuisgoodluck@gmail.com, and let me know what sorts of exciting things you are upto these days, and i would love to share them with whoever might be reading.
xoxo!
juju
