Serenade la "puesta del sol" Wednesday in Silver Lake

As the sun sets on the coastal ranges, Silver Lake starts is second serenade of the year, Serenade Sunset. 7 bands, 3 comedians, 2 poets and your host Barry Holiday(@ El Cid) provide an insight for what to expect at this May's Silver Lake Jubilee, 22-23.(visit http://silverlakejubilee.com for details)

Hailing Sunset Blvd. from the Mi Alma gardens, locals The Cigarette Bums kick off the jams for what will inevitably be a night to remember. Our good friends from The Downtown Train follow with brass, string, percussion and the mic encouraging the night to fall and crowd to boogie.

The indie folk-French pop group, Verb the Adjective Noun sends Sunset into the night, across Myra and over to El Cid where Kate Durbin, Marianne Sierk and a talented few orate and gyrate the crowd. The Spider Problem noticed while passing through the Blue Jungle last visited after the Health Club where encountered the Manhattan Murder Mystery, a margarita and tapas bar. Who woulda thought?

Doors open at 5pm for Mi Alma 4016 Santa Monica Blvd

Doors open at 7pm for El Cid. 4212 Sunset Blvd.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

The first day of spring is this Saturday and in honor of new growth and the planet, we would like to suggest ways to reduce and reuse with your hair care product packaging. At the Hive we carry a product line called Davines. Davines is a very Earth friendly line that contributes to and protects forest reserves in Costa Rica as a way to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Davines Essential line is completely carbon neutral due to donations and protection of over 6 million square feet of green area.

The Essential line uses significantly less plastic than most product companies in an extra effort to conserve. Here at the Hive, we refill any empty & clean Essential Shampoo and Conditioner containers for 10% off their regular price. This way less packaging has to be created and you can save money by eliminating the price of the product's container.

If you're not interested in refills or have containers from our other styling products or containers from any item, there are tons of ways to reuse.

Here are just a few ideas from Davines and the Hive for ways to reuse our product containers:


- mini planters
- home-made sauces or salad dressing
- loose grains, oats, or spices
- dry laundry detergent
- travel size food containers
- beads, buttons, etc
- paint
- cat and dog food scoops
- office supplies
- coins
- coffee beans
- nails, bolts, screws, etc
- jewelry

A February Recap

It's the beginning of March and we hope everyone finds they had a wonderful February. We wanted to share the best part of ours with everyone: the pie!
On Valentine's Day we hosted a pie making/eating contest in combination with an art show and had a great time. The winner of the pie making contest was Zell Dragonette with her Chocolate meringue with ginger crust. Second place was Sebastian Marlow's Oreo pie and third went to Brandi Brown's Pear pie with walnut crust. They were all delicious! The winner of the pie eating contest was Elana Hill and to her credit the only girl in the competition! Go Elana!
