THE 
February 15, 2008 Work Your Weekend!
1. Drink This! “Chile Hot Chocolate”
We’re switching things up a bit this week, offering a few suggestions that fall outside of our norm. It’s getting chilly again here in LA, so here’s a warm non-alcoholic drink to toast your insides and heat up your taste buds.
1/4 c. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
5 oz. milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
Combine milk, cream and cayenne in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until simmering, about 4 minutes. Add chocolate and whisk until completely melted and well incorporated, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately. Garnish with a little mint to tame the flavor.
2. Watch This! “Jumper”
Too many sappy movies dropped this weekend, so we think you should stray from the flock and see something with a bit more action. A man realizes that a genetic mutation allows him to transport himself anywhere in time, and he soon finds out that he is amongst a band of similar people waging a war against another group set on killing them. Doug Liman, the same director who brought you The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, is behind this one.
3. Wear This! “Suede Slips”
The guys out there asked for fashion picks, so here we go. These D & G suede driving shoes are just what you need to slip into spring and summer. Comfortable, versatile and sleek, they can take you to a day in the office to a day in the countryside. If that’s your thing of course.
4. Hear This! “Kenna—Say Goodbye to Love”
What a great way to usher out all of the Valentine’s fluff that’s still lingering in the air. Check out this song from Kenna, an electro/pop Ethiopian born Virginia Beach raised producer/artist. In terms of mainstream play, he’s been getting love from Power 106’s evening DJs lately with this second single from his second album, Make Sure They See My Face. Get more from his Myspace HERE.
5. Do This! “Get Your Art On”
Santa Monica’s Track 16 Gallery is currently offering an exhibit of seventy painters from all over Los Angeles—ranging from photorealism to abstract. The exhibit ends on Saturday, February 16, so if you’re into art, especially local talent, this is your chance to get out of the Hollywood glitz and into the city’s culture.

Kenna is my man. Caught him when he opened Live 8 in Jersey. The crowd was just beginning to file in while he was performing and he still killed it. I’ve seen him 3 times since.
