A bit of history:

THREAD Show has been happening in San Diego for almost seven years. It started as a trunk show in Lara’s garden at her home in Golden Hill and now it’s exponentially larger. The event has also been held in San Francisco, LA, Miami, Seattle and Las Vegas.

What the heck happens at THREAD:

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can shop from local designers for clothing, art, books and more. Why should you shop THREAD and not the shopping mall, you ask? Because purchasing from the designers at THREAD allows you to save money by purchasing at wholesale prices and skipping the retailer middleman, you lessen your carbon footprint because your items aren’t being shipped all over and many of our designers are also eco-friendly and, finally, you support your local economy (and I don’t know of a better time than the present to start doing that!). Plus, where else can you bang out your holiday shopping with a cocktail in hand, sushi in your tummy and listening to some of the city’s top DJs?

See you there!

Vertical translates the best contemporary Japanese books. We select our popular novels, graphic novels, and quality nonfiction from a rich, variegated stock: Japan’s huge and vibrant book market.
In fields like animation and video games, Japanese entertainment thrills people worldwide. The Japanese book world’s offerings are equally entertaining. Until now, however, most Japanese books translated into English have been either literary classics or introductions to traditional culture meant for a limited circle of Japanophiles. Vertical publishes exciting titles that require no prior knowledge of Japanese culture and are not intended primarily to familiarize readers with it; we choose good reads with universal themes.
Read different. Read Vertical.

@GlobalPatriot Monday Mixer #gpmm

I attended a @GlobalPatriot Monday Mixer (#gpmm) last night, where we all get together to discuss world change, the issues at hand, and how we remove the country/political borders, support those making a difference in the world, and contribute in any way we can to further their work. The event last night was at EC Gallery in Downtown San Diego, and was a great location to enjoy some spactacular works of art, drink some great wine (from Mark’s own wine collection usually), and talk with some great friends. @skovi and @egoddess recorded a series of video interviews, and can’t wait to see the results of all those interviews, the diverse nature of the responses, and use it as a great example to further the cause of global thinking.

Here’s a great video from the last #gpmm in May at Arterra in Del Mar:
