Put This On Season Two, Episode 1: The Melting Pot

Put This On, a web series about dressing like a grownup, visits New York City, a place where style is defined and redefined through interpretation and reinterpretation.

Meet the ‘Lo Heads. With roots in 1980s street gangs, these Polo Ralph Lauren enthusiasts have made “aspirational apparel” a lifestyle. They once had to boost their Polo from stores and fight to keep it on the streets. Today, their culture is worldwide, promulgated by hip-hop. Their hero is Ralph Lauren - a working class New Yorker who understood that the fantastical power of style can be transformative. Dallas Penn from The Internets Celebrities, a dedicated Lo Head (and former member of the Decepts crew) with a collection of over 1000 pieces of Polo apparel takes us on a tour of this remarkable fashion subculture.

Visit Worth & Worth hat shop, a New York institution with roots going back to 1922. In recent memory, Orlando Palacios has made the shop a home for rockers as well as traditionalists, turning hundred-year-old machines to the task of reinterpreting hundred-year-old styles.

Meet Jason Marshall, a jazz saxaphonist with a classic style. He plays with bands ranging from traditional bop to hip-hop fusion to Aretha Franklin, but he prefers to wear tailored clothes when he does it, and explains why.

And in our Q & Answer segment, find out how to pack your suit for travel. We’ll show you a fold to keep it neat inside a rolling carry-on or suitcase, and we’ll show you how to keep your trousers on the hanger inside a garment bag.

This is the first episode in our six-episode first season. We’ll visit the three greatest men’s style cities in the world, as chosen by our readers - New York, Milan and London. Stay tuned for our next New York episode, coming soon to putthison.com.

Midnight Snack: Rosewood Tavern with Jordan Morris

Think there aren’t any restaurants open late in L.A.? Residents who work late beg to differ. Jordan Morris is a performer, writer and podcaster who’s made a careful study of the best burgers in LA — this is one of his choices.

Laurenne: What do you normally order?
Jordan: The burger. I’m sort of an LA burger connoisseur. The “best burger” conversation comes up a lot, and you need to have a working knowledge of the burgers around here. Or maybe that’s just an excuse I use to eat junk food.

Laurenne: So where’s the best burger in LA?
Jordan: Golden State. Best burger in LA.

Laurenne: Wow. Better than Father’s Office?
Jordan: I know I should be strung up in a town hall for saying it, but yep. Hands down. Irv’s Burgers is a close second. And then this place. I have West Hollywood Burger Pride. I would have a little parade for it if it wouldn’t be so confusing.

MaxFunCon Tickets on Sale Now

Every year, I put together a special gathering in the mountains of Southern California. It’s called MaxFunCon.

It’s part comedy festival - last year we had the Upright Citizens Brigade, Greg Behrendt, Maria Bamford and others. It’s part creativity retreat - we have classes in film making and songwriting and crafting and other stuff. It’s part convocation of like-minded people - the air just crackles with intelligence and kindeness and friendships new and old.

The 2012 edition will be June 1st-3rd, and tickets have just gone on sale. Last year, they sold out by the new year, so if you’d like to come, grab your spot now. I hope to see you at MaxFunCon.

(Above, by the way, a Deranged Millionaire, Mr. John Hodgman, delivers our benediction.)

Podcast: Jordan, Jesse, Go!

Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:55:33 -0500

hollywoodartcritic:

I’ve been listening to a lot of the podcast called Jordan, Jesse Go! lately, and I’m a bit uncertain as to why. Certainly the show has its enjoyable qualities, which would encourage an occasional — or even weekly — listen. It consists of about an hour of gabbing between two friends. The first is Jesse Thorn, who also hosts The Sound of Young America, a very good interview show that, from the sound of things, may soon be changing its name. The second is Jordan Morris, a comic performer and occasional television show personality. The two have spent years making each other laugh, starting with a radio show at their college radio at UC-Santa Cruz, and so the show is regularly funny. They have frequent guests, often drawn from LA’s standup comedy community, a community that Jordan and Jesse could fairly be described as being boosters of. The results tend to be an atypically entertaining conversation between friends, at least in part because both Jordan and Jesse have great curiosity about the world, and like to discuss whatever is puzzling them the most at the moment.

Make Your Thing in London

So, I do this talk sometimes called “Make Your Thing,” about the process of creating independent media in the internet world. I share what I think are the essential ingredients for success (specifically my 12-Point System for Absolutely Positively 1000% Guaranteed Success), along with examples of creators, like Felicia Day and Killer Mike, who use those strategies.

I’m bringing the talk to London on November 16th. Besides me, the show will also feature an introduction from my very funny pal Josie Long (pictured above). Afterwards, there will be carousing. Tickets are cheap and it’s a very small place, so if you want to come, buy a ticket now.

Hey gang! I’m hosting a MaxFun meetup on Thursday night in St. Petersburg, Florida. I’ll be in town for TEDxPoynter Institute, a one-day conference on the future of journalism. (BTW: if you’re a student, call them and they’ll let you into the conference for $25.)

So: a quick meetup, 8:30-10PM, at Crowley’s Downtown, 269 Central Avenue North. Dress will be casual, the people will be friendly. Sorry about the late notice, but frankly St. Petersburg, you should be happy I’ve forgiven you for trying to steal the Giants.

The Comedy Club in LA

If you’re in Southern California, I hope you’ll join me Friday night for The Comedy Club. It’s a new comedy night at the Ice House in Pasadena, hosted by Jordan Morris and me (Jesse Thorn). Our lineup is pretty epic: Marc Maron is headlining, and we’ve also got the brilliant Al Madrigal, the hilarious Chris Fairbanks and DC Pierson of Derrick Comedy. These are comics we hand-picked for this show - there is no fat here, all muscle.

So: if you live in SoCal, and you don’t come, you’re officially on my shit list. That’s all there is to it.

Buy your tickets now.
