Trash White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller if you must. I remember him as the kid who used to work for me. In 2001, a Santa Monica High School student named Stephen Miller walked into my office at the Santa Monica Observer, and asked if he could write opinion pieces for the Santa Monica Observer. That kids name was Stephen Miller. Even then, he was serious, cerebral, quiet and studied. It was hard for me to take him seriously, he was so serious. I mean, at 16,...

Joe, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. After living in Venice for 12 years, my partner got a tenure-track position back East in New York. We sold our house, packed up, but I felt like before I left Venice for good, I wanted to do something crazy, out of the box - something I or anyone who knows me would never imagine myself doing. I came up with the idea to open up a little space down on the boardwalk that j...
