"It is truly a privilege to have a place like Beanwood that offers both a location and a mind-set that promotes diversity, encourages community engagement and provides this wonderful town the exposure it deserves as great place to live, work, recreate, worship and do business. They are an outstanding model." says New Jersey State Assemblyman Joseph R. Malone III (R - District 30 and Republican Budget Officer), One of the highlight's of Beanwwod's first year was the relationship it developed with Fernbrook Farm, the Bordentown-based food grower that donated compost and plants to start the restaurant's organic vegetable and herb garden from which it uses the produce and condiments in some of their signature Latin-inspired dishes and the plentiful mint leaves in their popular, yet seasonal, ice cold Mango Tea.

As host of the cult sensation “Three Sheets,” on Fine Living Network, Lamprey is constantly being told he has the best job in the world; he gets paid to travel around the globe and drink. Having shot four seasons in more than 50 countries, Lamprey has thrown back a few (and sometimes a few too many) in places like Belgium, Tanzania, Russia, New Zealand, Iceland, Tahiti, Greece, Argentina, Vietnam, London, and Lithuania. Over the course of his travels, visiting countless breweries, wineries and distilleries, he’s learned not only about the cultures where these beverages originate, but about the beverages themselves. His live comedy show "Drinking Made Easy" is an educational and humorous tutorial on beer, wine and spirits. Veteran Stand-Up Comedian Marc Ryan (Marc Ryan) will be opening the show, with tour dates scheduled in Santa Cruz, CA (The Catalyst, December 3), Reno, NV (Tonic Bar, December 4), Modesto, CA (Fat Cat, December 5), Solana Beach, CA (Belly Up Tavern, December 9), Agoura Hills, CA (Canyon Club, December 10), San Juan Capistrano, CA (The Coach House, December 11) and Hermosa Beach, CA (The Shore, December 12).

This is a story about two boys from Colorado. They both grew up in the faux-hippy town of Boulder and ended up at the University of Colorado. One, Nathaniel Motte, graduated summa cum laude and got into medical school, the other, Sean Foreman, got college degrees in math and English. Nat spoke fluent French, Sean won the Ultimate Frisbee World Championship in Finland when he was nineteen. Both loved hip-hop, but hated the exclusivity of the scene. They disagreed with the common assumption that anything on the radio was the work of Satan. So they started making beats in their basement and writing songs that blended rock and hip-hop and dance and pop and who knows what else, and petitioned to remove the "guilty" from "guilty pleasure." They used their area code as their band name, except with an added exclamation point.

The raucous songs caught the attention of Matt Galle, owner of New York-based indie label Photo Finish Records and booking agent to superstars like My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday, and producer Matt Squire, who pretty much produces every awesome band nowadays. Galle signed them to Photo Finish and Squire co-produced the duo's debut, Want, a collection of infectious songs.

3OH!3 headed out on Warped Tour in the summer of 2008 as their first real tour. There they learned that showers are overrated and if you have punchy, rhyming lyrics, dancey rap beats and a raucous live show that involved choreography, kids will come see you play. So many kids, in fact, that your stage will get more and more packed every day as the tour progresses, inciting jealousy from all the other bands. Want was released on July 8, 2008 while they were playing a parking lot in 100-degree heat. The disc's first single was "Don't Trust Me," which was co-produced with Benny Blanco, a song that went to No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart.

The band was sent back on the road in the fall for a headlining tour sponsored by MySpace, who jumped on the 3OH3! bandwagon after the pair was a Top 3 artist on the site for several months. The only problem was that Sean was in Brooklyn and the band's gear was in Colorado. So Sean rode his bike from New York to Denver over the course of twenty-two days, clearing his head and sleeping in bushes by the side of the road along the way. On the fall tour, the band sold out so many venues they were forced to move some of the shows to bigger rooms, culminating at show at San Diego's Soma for 2,500 screaming fans.

Radio stations began playing "Don't Trust Me," bleeping out swear words like "ho" and "Helen Keller." MTV and Fuse threw the video into rotation. Katy Perry called and told the boys to pack their bags for Europe, where they traveled around in a soccer mom van as the only openers on Perry's tour. MTV called and told the boys to pack their Speedos for Spring Break, conveniently scripting them into an episode of The Real World: Cancun. Alternative Press called and told the boys to start working out before their cover shoot and headlining slot on the Alternative Press Tour, which kicked off at SxSW in March.

Because no one really ever needs to go home or sleep in a real bed, Sean and Nat jumped almost immediately on Warped Tour for their second run. This time they knew the ropes. Bringing a padlock to secure your own porta-potty backstage each day, for example. They were the biggest band on the tour and even though some people might argue with that, it's true. "Don't Trust Me" was certified double platinum. They remixed second single "Starstrukk" to include vocals from Katy Perry and released it at the end of August. Tours were planned in Europe, Australia and the States for the fall. MTV called again and told the band they were nominated for a Video Music Award for "Best New Artist."

It all seems like a lot to take in, especially for a band with only one album out. But don't worry. If music fails, Nat can become a rich doctor and pay for Sean to pedal a unicycle across Canada.

An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 15 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth. In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his performance footage online. I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them, he says. But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. That s how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now I m signed! Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justin s natural singing talent wasn t enough to impress Scooter s inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self-taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was there in the parking lot, remembers Bieber. That was my first time ever being out of Canada so I went up to him and was like, 'Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you want me to sing you one? He was like, 'No little buddy, just come inside, it s cold out. All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a future superstar. A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta, says Bieber. I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Usher s deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him he how he blew me off the first time we met. In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced Umbrella for Rihanna and Beyonce s latest smash, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy. His first single, One Time produced by Tricky, is about one of Justin s favorite topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on First Dance where the two share verses on a song that Bieber describes as, A slow groovy song that people can dance to. On the Midi-Mafia produced Down to Earth Justin digs deep to talk about growing up. Bigger finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals. I m looking forward to influencing others in a positive way, says Justin. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didn t have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college and just become a better person. A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a solid force in music for many years to come. I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it s not corny, he says. I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me. And just think, he s just getting started.
