Last Sunday the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel hosted the Festival of Brides, where Tosti Studios made our first ever debut at a bridal show.  We teamed up with Fleur de Lis Events and Ice Bulb and together the three of us took center stage (literally!) in the event ballroom.  Fleur de Lis Events set up an impeccably-styled arrangement for us while Ice Bulb wow-ed all of the bride-to-be’s with an amazingly crafted ice curtain that suspended behind our booth.  Needless to say, we were turning heads left and right at the show!  It was a great experience and we had a lot of fun meeting  brides and connecting with the other awesome vendors.  Here are some pictures from the show:

In 2003 I spent 2 weeks in Ireland Touring with my band PAX217. Yes, I am the guy with dreadlocks and no I’m not a hippie!  (Well maybe a little bit at heart).  We played in Cork & then traveled around for a week.  Alli and I saw Coldplay and Damien Rice at a festival and that was quite the Irish experience.  These photos were all taken on a crummy 3.1 meagpixel camera because I had left my Canon Eos 3 film camera and 20 rolls of Fuji slide film in the states!  I was uber sad about that.  Hope you enjoy the photos, a little bit of my past and Happy St. Patrick’s day.


Saw this across the street while drinking an amazing espresso at a cafe.  I love Vespas.

It’s not so easy to find your destination in Ireland.  There was a street to the right and a street to the left, with just 17 signs to choose from.
