So I've been out in LA for a week or so. I've seen lots of interesting people and met a few as well. On Friday I was at a party with a few artists who I thought I'd share with you.

(The party was thrown by Harley Cross, one of the owners of Hint Mint, which are seriously delicious mints. I've never seen them in Toronto but they're worth tracking down or ordering through the company web store. Without question, Harley's loft is the most fantastic home I've ever set foot in. Stunning.)

First up is poet Ellyn Maybe. Her first CD has just come out on Hen House Studios: Rodeo for the Sheepish. It's a lovely affair.

I also talked a bit with Nathan and Clark, who make up The Good Listeners. They've recently released a CD/DVD set called Don't Quit Your Daydream. The CD's an album; the DVD's a documentary. Here's the trailer:

Also in attendance was Nirvan Mullick, director of The One Second Film, which I'm now a producer of. You can become one too--check out the site for details. I even took a short ride in the Oprah Bus. Woohoo!
