A couple weeks ago we threw a party, and on top of all the fun the highlight for me was this bar that we had custom made.  Designed in collaboration between Charles Constantine and Chris Williams, the bar was made in 24 hours out of found or “reclaimed” materials on the streets of Bushwick.  Two end tables make up the main element and are clad in palette wood.  The top and side of the bar are 1/4″ plate that were cut from some junked structural beams and cleaned up.

HIGH TECH SOUL is the first documentary to tackle the deep roots of techno music alongside the cultural history of Detroit, its birthplace. From the race riots of 1967 to the underground party scene of the late 1980s, Detroit’s economic downturn didn’t stop the invention of a new kind of music that brought international attention to its producers and their hometown.

An excellent read over on Nowness

On top of waxin’ recipes and cooking, Gerry Mak plays in the band Bloody Panda.

Some cooking methods are reserved for hipster foodies, while others are only for the working masses. Braising is the domain of McSweeney’s-reading elites, whereas Joe Six-Pack prefers boiling.  You have a subscription to the New Yorker?  Let your cleaning lady fry her onions while you sauté yours.  The way you apply heat to your food denotes class and privilege.  Do you know the difference between baking and roasting?  More often than not, roasting refers to cooking something in the oven at a higher temperature than baking, but then there’s slow roasting, which calls for temperatures lower than you would use to bake bread.  The confusion in terms stems from the changes that occurred in cooking with the advent of the home oven/stove top setup we’re used to these days.  In any case, if you’ve got a piece of meat in the oven, just tell people you’re roasting it, and they will know that you went to an Ivy League.
