New in New York Ep 6: The Anime Festival

[ 05:54 ]
It seems like everywhere you look in New York City these days, you see Anime characters. So this year, The Resident went to check out the Anime Festival in New York City to see what this trend is all about. Of course, you can't just go to the festival without dressing up, so The Resident donned a very special outfit for the occasion to get into the spirit of things. Check out the fun she had in this video.

New in New York: Ep 3 - The Putting Lot
New York City has two new obsessions: Going green and creating community fun. Residents of Bushwick, Brooklyn, have recently found a way to combine both in The Putting Lot. They've converted an empty lot into a 9-hole putt-putt golf course, with each hole being an art piece that explores an environmental issue. It's a great escape of family fun and education in the middle of an industrial neighborhood. The Resident went to scope it out - and took on her friend Tomato from The Sound of Urchin. Check out the video to see who won!

New in New York Ep 5: Bird-Poop Facial
Since the dawn of time, ladies have gone to great lengths to achieve great beauty. From yanking hair painfully to being submerged in mud, girls have tried it all. And now, The Resident has gone even further, by trying the latest beauty trend that New York City has to offer: the bird-poop facial. Offered at Shizuka Spa in midtown, the "nightingale droppings" facial is supposed to brighten the skin while it exfoliates. Apparently, Victoria Beckham is a big fan. Check out the video to see if it really works!

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE PREVIEW: Sendak + Jonze...
Watch scenes from the movie and interviews with the cast and crew! It's taken decades to finally happen, but Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book, Where the Wild Things Are has finally been adapted to the silver screen. The only thing less predictable is that the director who would accomplish this feat is Spike Jonze! With a history of wild music videos and MTV's Jackass under his belt, he'd seem an unlikely choice, but he's been friends with Sendak for years and after plenty of buzz about re-fanging the controversial 60's book for a modern audience, this creature effect driven story about childhood is finally ready!~Matt+Nat

Hey Marseilles and Cymbals Eat Guitars in Road Trippin'...
We’re in Oregon for Portland’s Music Fest North West and inspired by the recently tattooed Joseph D’Agostino, from Cymbals Eat Guitars – Ice Cream Man & Knife decided it was time for a permanent reminder of this wild ride. It’s our 3rd year at MFNW – a chilled festival with, this year, Modest Mouse headlining. We wrapped up the weekend with an awesome truck side sing a long with Hey Marseilles and their accordions and trumpets.
