Bad drivers are like Gremlins…Get them wet and they multiply!
I think once in everyone’s life you get the silly privilege of appearing on local news. Well my 10 seconds in the sun came yesterday when I was stopped on the corner of Sepulveda and Ventura in Sherman Oaks during lunch time to talk about the weather. I gave a bunch of sarcastic sound bites and they chopped it down to just this brief clip – “It’s kind of a downer, people don’t know how to drive”.
I am sooooooooooo proud today. My entrepreneurial wife Lauren has officially launched TWIG design studio with a MASSIVE sale on One Kings Lane. The sale’s timing is perfect for holiday shoppers. The sale lasts for the next 72 hours so get some now while supplies last. Click here to view the sale (NOTE: you must register for One Kings Lane to view / purchase).
Here’s some more info about TWIG:
“TWIG design studio was created out of the concept that it’s little things in life that make a big difference. Since she was little girl, textile and surface designer Lauren Born and her mother would make each other’s day by exchanging small rocks, beautiful leaves and little notes. TWIG paper goods seeks to combine both of these ingredients—natural elements and the art of the note—in this beautiful selection of hand-painted cards.”
If you’re in the market for gift tags, gift cards, note cards, or handmade stationary, check out the big sale and buy a couple for you and your friends. They make perfect holiday gifts! Everything is 100% original and made 100% by hand right here in the USA (ok, in our garage actually). Enjoy!

So what do you think? Is it funny or should it die? Please cast your vote. Personally, I laughed out loud a few times, especially at the “Powered by Candroid / Number 2.0” part. Adam’s an accomplished filmmaker whose last film DARE starred Emmy Rossum and was an official selection at Sundance.
