MaxFun London Meetup

Join me, Jordan Morris, and International Waters producer Colin Anderson for dinner and/or drinks at the Phoenix Artists’ Club in London, 7:30PM on Saturday, August 11th. (Note that the club closes its doors to non-members at 8, so be on time).

Some folks will be coming from our shows (which have sold out), but everyone is welcome. It is a great internet meetup for people who fear and/or loathe the idea of going to an internet meetup. Everyone is always really pleasant, smart and nice.

SEE YOU THERE.

Put This On Season Two, Episode 3: (New) Traditions

Put This On, a web series about dressing like a grownup, visits London, where we examine how traditions are being reinvented in the birthplace of classic menswear.

We go to Savile Row, where we meet up with a historical guide to talk about the history of the world’s oldest tailoring street. We also chat with the tailor Richard Anderson about what’s special about The Row. Patrick Grant, the owner and designer of Norton & Sons, talks about how Savile Row can become a vital part of the international fashion world again.

Just off Savile Row, we go to the basement showroom of W. Bill, the world’s most legendary tweed merchant. Ray Hammet, who’s worked at W. Bill for decades, shows us around the stacks of wooly majesty.

In our PTO: Man segment, we talk with Ian Bruce, painter and member of the band The Correspondents, about re-imagining the SoHo dandy for the 21st century. He takes us through London’s red light district, and tells us why he doesn’t want to look like a painter at the end of a long day of painting.

We visit the tie factory owned and operated by Drake’s of London to learn how a high-quality tie is made, from fabric to finished product. Then we buy one to send to a supporter of the show.

Plus Dave Hill tells where sport sunglasses are and are not appropriate, in Rudiments.

This is the third episode in our six-episode second season. In this season, we visit the three greatest men’s style cities in the world, as chosen by our readers - New York, Milan and London.

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.
