NEW HOTELS: In life we are given perspective. Something that can alter based on perception. It can be beautiful or tainted but it gives way to something truth can’t help but reveal. is very much the same. We live in a world where design and have freedom to be so much more than the confines of a singular thought. Architects and designers coming together to create unique experiences around the world. Below are several brand new hotels that have just opened around various parts of the world. Each one is distinctly authentic and rich with story. While some are meant for full (perhaps a “bucket list” inclusion), some are so affordable it would be a shame not go.

We try so very hard to live in the moment but in today's world the moments move so fast its near impossible to even see them before they pass by like a twitter feed.


The JOB.

I have a job that moves quickly, scurries about town, sends me traveling to lovely places and is in a perpetual state of "warp speed". That said, there are sweet spots in doing what I love and those are the times I revel in. I have met so many artists, worked with some big names, and the one constant is - SO much has changed in entertainment. In hospitality. In the way that we communicate. I live in the age of digital media (even the structure of this magazine relies on it) and social media? My greatest asset. HOWEVER - we have created the land of ADHD with all of the exponential realms of instant gratification.

So ... I wrote an entire piece about it. Read BELOW by clicking on the link:

's No Man’s Land – A One-Man Show: Laughing, Un******ng on Stage, Meditation, Awkward Dancing …

Yes, this show has it all.


"Ah dating. We’ve all done it, we’ve all had some doozies along the way but one thing’s for sure: we ALL have a few worthy stories to share but none quite as impacting as Comedian, Rajiv Satyal whose “solo show about being solo”, No Man’s Land touches on the impending woes of not only dating but dating in a culture that requires certain, well, requirements. Rajiv delves right into his first childhood crush and from that point on we are taken on his romantic journeys over the last three decades..."

A brand new One Man Comedy Show written and performed by Comic Rajiv Satyal. Rajiv has opened for some of comedy's greats: Dave Chappelle (5 times), The REAL Russell Peters (30 times), Kevin Nealon (20 times), and Tim Allen (20 times), was chosen by the White House to represent comedy in a 7-city tour in India with his "Make Chair Not War" show sponsored by US State Dept.

He is a rarity as a clean comic and "No Man's Land" is his refreshing take on defining manhood in modern society, based on his own comedic – and tragic – adventures with women.

DETAILS BELOW: Saturday, March 15 | 8:00pm

Written and performed by Rajiv Satyal
Directed by Samara Bay

TICKETS ON SALE NOW: $25 - http://www.rajivsatyal.com/see/no-mans-land/

No Man’s Land has had successful engagements in New York and Los Angeles.

Reviewers say:

“… a strong contender for a Best Comic Solo Show Award from whoever gives those things out. Witty and insightful… Satyal takes the mundane and makes it meaningful.” – stagehappenings.com

“Despite a protagonist who asserts his ethnic credentials, it is not stuffed full of stereotypical jokes about his background…. Most of Satyal’s jokes are at his own expense… There is a certain wistfulness in his humor when Satyal talks about the women he’s loved…” – in New York

A raw, beautifully spoken speech at the Human Rights Campaign:


"You’re here because you’ve adopted as a core motivation the simple fact that this world would be a whole lot better if we just made an effort to be less horrible to one another. If we took just 5 minutes to recognize each other’s beauty, instead of attacking each other for our differences. That’s not hard. It’s really an easier and better way to live. And ultimately, it saves lives." -Ellen Page
