LOS ANGELES’S DEAL OF THE DAY: GrouponLA

We find the most interesting stuff to do in Los Angeles, and work with businesses to offer our subscribers the best deals available on things like Art, Theatre, Restaurants & Bars, Concerts, Movie Tickets, Retail, Lessons & Classes Events, Hotels, Spas & Salons, and more.

LOS ANGELES’S DEAL OF THE DAY
Get it for FREE

About Groupon

Launched in November 2008, Groupon features a daily deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in a variety of cities across the United States. We have about 25 wonderful people working in our Chicago office (a handful of whom you can see to your right), along with a smattering of people in Groupon’s other cities.

Our company philosophy is pretty simple: we treat our customers the way we like to be treated. That boils down to a few key things:

We sell stuff we want to buy. A great price is only half the battle – it’s also got to be a great product or service. Between our top-rated business partners and unbeatable prices, you should feel comfortable venturing out and trying something new – just because it’s featured on Groupon. We want Groupon to be an addiction you can feel good about.

No BS. We really want you to love Groupon. “Gotchas” and buried conditions that sour the experience are a terrible way to accomplish that goal. We want each Groupon purchase to feel too good to be true, from the moment you buy to the day you use it. If there’s anything unusual about a deal (e.g. an inconvenient location), we go out of our way to point it out.

Unbelievable customer service. Like you, we’ve suffered through hour-long “transfer-athons” with customer service departments, or waited days for an email reply to to a simple question. If you contact us, we’ll do what it takes to make things right – and we’ll do it fast. Email us, or speak with a human (during normal business hours): (312) 676-5773

Groupon Origins

Groupon grew out of a company called The Point, a website launched in November 2007 that lets you start a campaign asking people to give money or do something as a group — but only once a “tipping point” of people agree to participate. By delaying action until enough people come together to have a real impact, The Point helps consumers, employees, citizens, activists, parents — or anyone — come together and solve problems that they couldn’t solve alone. Learn more about The Point here.

We came up with the idea for Groupon as an antidote to a common ailment for us city-dwellers: there’s so much cool stuff to do, but the choice can be overwhelming. With so many options, sometimes the easiest thing is to go to a familiar restaurant, or just stay at home and watch a movie. As a result, we miss out on trying all the cool things our cities have to offer. By focusing on one good or service each day, Groupon makes it simple. And by leveraging The Point’s framework for collective buying, Groupon is able to offer deals that make it very difficult to say no.

While we started Groupon as a side project of The Point, it’s taken on a life of its own, and now occupies the vast majority of our time here at The Point.

Our People

Groupon’s people are our most valuable asset. Everything about Groupon is a reflection of the interests and ethics of its wonderful staff. Full biographies to follow, but for now:

Corporate Stuff

Groupon is a project of The Point, Inc., a platform for organizing not only group discounts, but all forms of collective action. Founded in 2007, The Point is privately owned and funded. Learn more about The Point.

Some More Good Deals – Nite On The Town

Hi Folks:

A couple of interesting things and good deals for you. Firstly, our favorite B&B in Palm Springs, The Coyote Inn, is offering Nite On The Town members a special 25% off on any rooms booked thru June 30. This is a charming little hideaway in the Tennis Club area of Palm Springs – great views and easy walking to all the fine dining and fun of downtown Palm Springs, perfect for a quick getaway. To get the 25% off you must mention you are a Nite On The Town member. Check it out at www.coyoteinn.net. Below are two interesting restaurant deals that fellow member Martha Hubner forwarded to us. Thanks Martha! Note: I believe the entree deal at La Grande Orange is valid on Monday & Tuesdays. Check with the restaurant

David:
We have 2 great deals and fun options for you and your members:
1. Le Grande Orange (LGO)
260 S. Raymond Ave.
Pasadena (626) 356-4444
It’s the old train station – completely restored and turned into a great restaurant! It’s located at the Del Mar Metro Station, so it can be a fun ride to the restaurant with kids or a great place to meet friends from the West-side or great way to avoid a designated driver! Great comfort foods, superb Ahi tuna or organic fried
chicken breasts served with a cinnamon roll, fun and delicious deviled eggs appetizer, the best Brussels sprout salad (yes, I’m serious and it’s outrageously good), plus beef, fish and pork dishes. We’ve been for
breakfast, lunch and dinner and enjoy it every time. Also, we are continuously looking for the best summer patio and I think this is it. They are very kid-friendly and have special prices from 5 to 7 p.m. for kids. If you want a more quiet meal, plan on going after 7:00 p.m., or I recommend trying to sit on the patio. THEIR
CURRENT SPECIAL IS: Buy 1 entrée, and the 2nd entrée is $5.00. This is a great deal – especially when you combine it with the fact that you can bring your own wine and there is no corkage!!!! This is a huge savings for whatever reasons and probably the best deal in town. They also have a full bar and fun bartenders who are clever with interesting drink suggestions! This special was supposed to run just through May, but they have extended it probably through summer, so take advantage of it. The service is way above the normal experience and so is the food. Enjoy this one! Even the art is good.
2. Underground chef in Los Angeles (this has been going on the San Francisco and New York, etc., for a while, but this is the first I’ve heard of her in LA)
Chef Matt Roberts and his wife Jackie are serving dinner Friday and Saturday evenings. They have taken over Zanzabelle’s ice cream parlor at
2912 Rowena Blvd
Silver Lake, CA 90039
Matt and Jackie Roberts at: 626-243-3686 and email at
Call for reservations A MUST. Fun location with the giant giraffe out front, but the food inside is clever and el-yum-orama! He’s doing a fix prix 3-course meal each night and can do a vegetarian version, if you like. It is absolutely amazing what he can do – and he picks the freshest and best ingredients. The prices are great too. Call for the price for the evening because it varies. We will definitely go back. Use the email to
get on his mailing list and that way you’ll know what he’s serving. The night we were there he did sea bass in an incredible both. Most memorable that evening was the 1st course salad with a wonderful Roquefort cheese paired with tiny slices of fresh, sweet, peaches. It was amazing! Our cost was $27 per person. The
comfort food nights are even less! This is a find and very fun to try!!

Flip Video Sharing – Flipshare

Flip Video(TM) Introduces Next-Generation Personal Video Sharing

Flip Video(TM) Introduces Next-Generation Personal Video Sharing

Latest FlipShare(TM) software makes it simple to share video publicly, privately, or with groups

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16 /PRNewswire/ — Taking video sharing to a new level, the makers of Flip Video today announced the latest version of its on-board FlipShare software that makes sharing personal video easier than ever before. FlipShare now gives users the ability to publish personal video channels online with Flip Channels(TM), in addition to easy uploading to popular sites like MySpace(TM) and YouTube(TM), and one-click private video emailing capabilities.

The innovative new Flip Channels feature enables users to easily share their favorite Flip content with groups of people they designate. Once created, their personal Flip Channels can be instantly viewed online at FlipShare.com or on any iPhone(TM) model by using the new FlipShare for iPhone application, available soon.

“Flip Video changed the way people use video by making it simple to capture and fun to share,” said Jonathan Kaplan, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Business Group at Cisco, which recently acquired Pure Digital Technologies, makers of Flip Video products. “Our latest FlipShare software, with the new Flip Channels feature, takes video sharing to the next level by making it incredibly easy to share video with a friend, a group, or with the world.”

With FlipShare’s new Flip Channels feature, consumers now have a simple way to share their favorite Flip content – both video and snapshots – with many different groups such as friends, family, classmates or teams. Once a user creates a Flip Channel, it can be viewed online now at FlipShare.com or on an iPhone using the breakthrough FlipShare application for the iPhone available soon. This new application gives FlipShare users, as well as their friends and family, instant access to their favorite Flip Video content from anywhere.

These latest software innovations build upon the success of the wildly popular Flip Video camcorder line. Since its launch in 2007, more than 2 million Flip Video camcorders have been sold and millions of videos have been shared using FlipShare software. Flip Video models are ranked as the number one and number two top-selling camcorders in the U.S. for the first quarter 2009, as ranked by leading market research firm The NPD Group.

The new version of FlipShare software will begin shipping as the on-board software for all Flip Video camcorders as of June 16, 2009. The software can also be downloaded for free by visiting www.theflip.com. The FlipShare for iPhone application will be available for free in the iPhone App Store.

Make-Up Artist Trade Show

Make-Up Artist Trade Show

North Hollywood

IMATS to be held at the Pasadena Convention Center This weekend.

June 20 and 21, 2009
Sat. 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Sun. 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

*Note the new opening time for Sunday

About the Show
Known simply as “The Show” to the make-up world, the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show (IMATS) is the only show of its kind in the world. Thousands of make-up artists, vendors, manufacturers and enthusiasts convene for the make-up world’s biggest gathering to discuss, display, discover and collect the best the industry has to offer. If you’ve ever wanted to learn the techniques or experiment with the products, or if you just have an interest in the art of make-up, then L.A. is where you need to be. The show is open to the public. No make-up artist credentials are required to get you in the door.

The Pasadena Convention Center (located at 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, Calif. 91101) will host IMATS, presented by Make-Up Artist magazine. On June 20 and 21, 2009, make-up pros will come together to provide the finest education and demonstrations in the world— ideas will be exchanged, products tried, and make-up secrets revealed.

History
During the mid-’90s, there were no trade shows specifically for make-up artists, and cosmetic companies expressed a desire for such an event. Knowing just how much education could be provided, Make-Up Artist publisher Michael Key held the first International Make-Up Artist Trade Show in August 1997. The Show allowed artists to custom-tailor what they wanted to see. It offered a diverse mix of presentations, products, demonstrations, and education by some of the biggest names in the business. Like Make-Up Artist magazine, the trade show continues to further Key’s vision to educate and reach make-up artists around the world.
