ROOTS
A Tree Grows in Your Apartment
Problem: you want a tree for your living room. Lights, the whole thing. But you don't really want to cut one
down. Or tie it to your roof. Or brave the freeway. Solution: this new company will deliver your very own
tree to you, roots and all—then take it back and replant it until next year when it's yours again.
It's green in more ways than one.

- The Living Tree Company, now accepting reservations here
SCORING
Heroes of "Sport"
Before your next meeting at CAA, head back to the
new den of photo culture out on the esplanade. Surrounding yourself with Walter Iooss's and Neil
Leifer's shots of sports greats from Ali to Jordan to whoever's holding this surfboard should give you all
the confidence you need to slam-dunk your Hoosiers-meets-Twilight pitch.
