"Thank you heros" read a the words in neon orange, painted onto a plank propped against the corner of Modjeska Canyon Road and, ominously, Shadowland. The spelling was off, but the sentiment was genuine. Photographer Christopher Victorio and I stood with our cameras at the side of the road, watchi ... More >>

Just got your W2? Wondering how long you can leave it this year before working out how much of your I-can-see-why-I'm-not-living-in-Malibu income you owe the Governator and the feds?

Future Keepers of the Coast awardees Pearl Jam.Surfrider Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary not in Orange County where it's been headquartered for years or in the Malibu of its roots, but upcoast and inland to the big city that rhymes with "Moss Fangeles."

The surf was uneventful at best at last weekend's Surfrider Celebrity Expression Session in Malibu. But even with not-so-great conditions, a chance to ride First Point with nobody out is a rare treat, no matter how famous you are. Surfer celebs come in all shapes and styles, ranging from Jason Mr ... More >>
Edwin GoeiBack in May I chronicled the closing of a sushi joint on Bristol Street, a block or so away from South Coast Plaza. I entitled it "Blue Fish, We Hardly Knew Ye". Later in August, Lesley had the scoop: another fish-centric restaurant was going to take it's place. After a while it ... More >>
If the bartender tells you this drink is meant to be downed in one go, don't listen. Most regular patrons of the Beachfront 310 Bar & Grill on Huntington Beach's Main Street have wrestled with the Sexy Alligator and can tell you from first-hand experience that even though the drink is pushed ...

Here are some additional thoughts that have come in since yesterday: "Orange County is just as bad as anywhere else. Some 40 year old man tried t ... More >>
Flickr user donnchaWe mentioned that some of the best films screened at the California Surf Festival in Oceanside this past weekend were viewed by only a few people. A couple of these less seen, less appreciated films are worth taking a look at. On Friday, at the old Brooks theater, a meag ... More >>
Black Surfing AssociationWith the weekend of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday fast approaching, it seems fitting to give some attention to a serious weak spot in surfing's usually laid back, tolerant facade.

Considering Sunday's 7.2 earthquake just south of California's border with Mexico, the 4.1 shaker six miles southwest of Malibu and assorted aftershocks felt up and down the state as this is banged out with fingers crossed, it's obvious God is peeved at something. Before Pat Robertston, Wiley Dra ... More >>
Sequel struggles against nature to stay forever young
Jessica FordIt's too obvious that the House of Big Fish & Ice Cold Beer sells . . . beer. When you read through the extensive beer list, don't overlook the cocktail menu. It contains a few treasures, and of course, it helps that many of the drinks are served in 21 oz. schooner glasses.

Edwin GoeiI realize making up names for your business takes a good bit of effort. Witness the creativity or lack thereof from entrepreneurs during the frozen yogurt boom of 2008.
Went to write this week's collection of things written about and/or from Orange County on the Interwebs, and an episode of Entertainment Tonight broke out. The following batch includes celebrities and TV characters crossing our real estate before ending with La Habra's very own tabloid queen.
"Try to catch me, coppers!"Criminals aren't the sharpest bunch of individuals. History has shown us that. They forget video surveillance and fingerprints matter, obvious stuff like that. They also seem to believe, even after they're caught or within reach of the police, they can put pedal to ... More >>

Inspired by the chilly weather we've been experiencing this week here in California, I decided to find a drink with psychologically warming effects, as opposed to the hot toddy's instantaneous comfort.

Taylor Hamby/OC Weekly KurosawaMesa is a purveyor of style, innovation and culture in this fair county, often compared to a LA lounge (even the unisex restrooms are hip) except without that whole LA douchebag hipster factor.
