As some of you may have noticed, the world has (since September of last year) been experiencing a steadily worsening shortage which could very well have shaken the foundation of LGA Manor. I was shocked to find that none of the major networks had the courage to even mention this story, much less give it the full 24 hour coverage it deserved.
Perhaps they were simply trying to avoid sparking a worldwide panic, but the world deserved to know just how close to the brink it really was. I speak of course, about the shortage of Angostura bitters (fortunately the LGA Manor has a set of reserves for just these sorts of emergencies).

The First Annual International Invitational Croquet Tournament and Symposium was a wild success. Full of champagne, prizes, ridiculous costumes, and cake, this event will surely be talked about for generations to come. Please enjoy these photos from this glorious event.

Gentleman Lee stars as Sergeant at Arms in this podcast during which the Gents, with great dash and cunning, fool themselves into thinking that they know the first thing about relationships with members of the fairer sex.
On the Agenda:
1. Opening Toast, served to you by Gentleman Hunter.
2. Open Discussion on the subject of relationships (of the romantic persuasion).
3. Words of Advice: “You’re not dating him,” brought to you by Gentleman Lee.
4. Letters from Gentleman Jesse, the first in what we assume will be a series of dispatches of Adventure from the City of Angels, read to you by Gentleman Hunter.
5. Closing Toast, served to you by Gentlemen Gregory.

Yesterday, my father was up here in LA, visiting me and picking up his visa for an upcoming trip to Shanghai. Lunchtime was coming up, so naturally I checked the Twitter feed on my phone.
The new rage here in Los Angeles is food trucks that park somewhere in the city, and then tweet their location to foodies citywide. I scanned my list of food tweets – Korean bbq tacos, the Indian Dosa Truck, etc., – and then a tweet caught my eye. “Try our new fois gras burg!” from the Grill Em All truck, parked just a few minutes away in Hollywood.
That seemed to embody the LGA maxim, “If it’s worth doing, then it’s worth overdoing.” So we hightailed it out there. And, wow. Let me tell you – you have not lived unless you have tried the fried egg, potato chip, and fois gras burger they call a Lars (named, I assume, for the esteemed Mr. Ulrich).
Gents, next time you’re in LA, check it out.
Quam bene vivas refert, non quam diu.
