Shut Up and Play The Hits
Thursday, January 12th, 2012
On April 2nd 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with NEW YORK magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and TIME magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.” SHUT UP AND PLAY THE HITS is both a narrative film documenting this once in a life time performance and an intimate portrait of James Murphy as he navigates the lead-up to the show, the day after, and the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

I am
Thursday, January 5th, 2012
What’s wrong with the world? What can we do about it? You might not expect these questions to haunt the mind of the director of “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and “The Nutty Professor.” But in the painful aftermath of a cycling accident, Tom Shadyac started to think differently about his life and success. And he started asking questions.
He traveled around, enlisting the aid of what he calls “significant minds” — journalists, scientists, spiritual leaders like Desmond Tutu, scholars like Noam Chomsky — to understand life’s essential questions. “I Am” is his documentary about his quest.

Lavender: enrich your body and mind
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012
Lavender has a surprising number of applications. Most of us think of lavender used as a scent, but it is also edible and good for you. It is considered a member of the mint family and has long been used to treat digestive problems, insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness. Up until World War I, lavender was also used for the treatment and disinfecting of wounds. Hospitals used lavender as an antiseptic and disinfectant. English farmers used to put stems of lavender in their hats to prevent headaches and sunstroke.

And just your luck, at DEFINE we offer locally grown lavender products from Lavande. Lavande is an organic lavender farm in Bellville, TX.

The Color Run
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011
How fun does this look?
What is the Color Run?
The Color Run is a one of a kind experience that is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. The events, is all about people of all different speeds, ages, shapes, and sizes toeing the start line. Whether you are a casual morning mall walker or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course will be the most enjoyable real estate you’ve traveled in a VERY long time.
How does it work?
The Color Run pretty much has 2 SIMPLE rules. 1. White shirts (any mostly white T will work great) mandatory at the start line and 2. Color plastered EVERYTHING at the finish! Runner/walkers begin the 5k at the start line like a brand new pristine coloring book, they end looking like they fell into a Willy Wonka… tye died… vat of colored goodness.
What is the Color?
Each kilometer of the event is associated with a designated color. 1k is yellow, 2k is blue, 3k is green, 4k is pink, and the 5k finish is a “Color Extravaganza.” As the runners/walkers hit the KILOMETER COLOR ZONE, they will be blitzed by our volunteers, sponsors, and staff with COLOR. The color is a special “elf made” recipe of magical color dust. All products are 100% natural and safe. You can eat the stuff if you’d like (we have tried it and don’t suggest it, it is surprisingly high in calories and leaves a chalky aftertaste). See the diagram below for the “Color Zone” specifics:
And though there isn’t a color run scheduled in Houston this year, there is one coming up in Austin on February 4th and then Dallas on February 19th. For more locations and dates, click here.
