Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie is one of my favorite Angelenos, if you can call him one, as he spends so much of his time traveling on shoe drops in South America and Africa and giving speeches about his One for One business model (for every pair of shoes sold, a pair is donated to someone in need).
The word addiction brings to mind images of people popping prescription pills, injecting, inhaling or smoking dangerous substances. Most people don’t realize an addiction can be just as dangerous with a seemingly innocuous substance vital to a person’s survival: food.
The lights burn bright as members of the crowd talk among themselves, a dull drone humming throughout the room. Jennifer Bell, a 22-year-old University of Texas student and singer, takes the stage at a local coffee shop, centering herself before performing her newest work.
Two men leave after sitting and talking over a cup of the downtown blend and the plantation blend — dressed ready for work. They are headed in for the 9-to-5 day.

It’s just before 5:30 p.m. As volunteers prepare food for serving, a line of men, women and children form outside the door. The people in the line outside are carrying handbags and backpacks, or they are hiding empty hands in their pockets.

Seventeen miles north of Baylor, in West, is a little piece of old-world Europe. Czech Stop, a combination bakery and deli, provides travelers and Central Texas residents alike with authentic Czech kolaches, sandwiches and sweets. Czech Stop is highly successful, serving close to 600 customers on busy days, but things were not always so good.
Food to an athlete is essentially the fuel necessary for peak performance. When it comes to the Baylor men’s tennis team, food is vital to performing at the highest level and quickly recovering. The routine is different for many athletes but the goal is the same — load up on food to provide the body with enough energy to last the body through a possibly grueling three-hour marathon match.
Peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy, nachos all mixed together with … home runs, stolen bases and double plays. Sounds like a match made in heaven. For years, that type of food and a baseball game have gone together perfectly. Baylor Ballpark, however, has added a new dimension to the ballpark experience by offering a greater assortment of food.
Few things define Waco as much as Dr Pepper does. It has been a staple in Waco since its creation where the drink was created in the 1880s.
It’s hard to believe, but it used to be the norm for American families to sit down and eat a home-cooked meal every night. This lifestyle, prominent in the 1950s and ‘60s, seems to have disappeared over the past decades, but it may be making a comeback.
Wes Craven’s gleeful postmodern thriller “Scream” (1996) introduced us to a generation of teenagers raised on horror movies who couldn’t stop talking about the genre’s cliches. Fifteen years later, the kids in “Scream 4” haven’t just seen the classic horror movies, they’ve also seen the remakes, reboots and postmodern glosses – these days, to embrace a cliche is its own form of creativity.
This spring is all about the hi-low hemlines – well, Free People (www.freepeople.com) thinks so at least. A trend report that engulfs the homepage, with a classy model demonstrating “the look,” invites us to read their blog, Bldg 25, about this ‘70s trend that is now coming back into style.
U2 isn’t a band that does things on the cheap. When frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge went to Broadway, they did so via “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” which has already earned itself the distinction of being the most expensive show in Broadway history.
Like the adage about bad publicity, R&B singer Chris Brown proves that there’s also no such thing as a bad meltdown on national TV as long as they spell your name correctly and plug your new album.

Due to continuing contract negotiations between “Mad Men” creator Matt Weiner and AMC, the series will not return until early 2012, the network said on Tuesday.
Colin Firth said he didn’t like it, but a new version of “The King’s Speech” is heading to theaters just the same.
The Big Apple. The city that never sleeps. Gotham City. The Melting Pot. New York, New York. This legendary city serves as a backdrop for writers, musicians and artists and their works, both recent and classics. They describe its glimmer, its expansiveness, its overcrowding, its remarkable skyscrapers, its diverse population, all of this and more. For many years growing up, these descriptions entranced me. It is the city where dreams come true. I was fixated on this metropolis, and it was my goal to make it there one day.
You are what you eat is an age-old phrase, used by moms and grandmothers across the nation to scare children into eating healthier, but most people do not take it as literally as artist and Baylor alumnus Mark Menjivar has.
Do make a schedule. Planning never hurt anyone and it’s always good to prepare yourself for everything that could happen during SXSW. Austin is probably the craziest city in America for this week, a little guidance couldn’t be all that bad.
Just in time for its upcoming Fort Worth conference April 1 to 3, Passion released “Here For You,” recorded in Atlanta in January.

As he tells it, Bradley Cooper in 1999 is just another awestruck theater student in the audience of James Lipton’s interview show “Inside the Actors Studio.” Then the hunk with the laser-blue eyes seizes the chance to ask a question of Robert De Niro, his idol, his lodestar, the guy who inspired him to be an actor. De Niro tells him it’s a good one. It exceeds Cooper’s wildest dreams.
Zoo Studio, a band on Baylor’s Uproar Record label, launched its pre-order website for its “The Black and White” EP Monday.
