11.25.14
By Kelley Moody
As the cold season rolls into Orange County, we could all use a good laugh to warm our spirits. We can be thankful that standup comedian, Aziz Ansari, will be in town for two shows this Wednesday evening at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets for the 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. shows are still available online here, or at the box office for $39.
Aziz Ansari is best known for his role in NBC’s Parks and Recreation and has performed across the nation with his tour Aziz Ansari Live! His previous stops include Madison Square Garden where he performed for over 20,000 people in two sold out shows. Ansari has been widely recognized for his humor and was chosen as the Rolling Stone’s “funniest man under 30” in 2012.
Ansari is known for his whimsical comedy and funny commentary on topics from family to factory farms. Ansari also looks forward to life as an author with his new book about dating in a technologically advanced world. His movie credits include This is the End, Get Him to the Greek, Ice Age: Continental Drift, and others.
Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall is at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.

LA Auto Show World Premiere Porsche Panamera Turbo S Exclusive Edition
11.24.14
Who could possibly take in all there is to see and do at the LA Auto Show? It's one of the world’s premiere auto shows for serious buyers, industry people, car enthusiasts, media, and lookie loos—up to 900,000 visitors in all.
For 10 days, the gigantic Convention Center turns into the place to see what’s new and what’s on the horizon for automakers and technology. This year’s show, which runs through Sunday, Nov. 30, also showcased 60 world and North American vehicle debuts, at least 50% of those were never before seen premieres.
Now with limited time on our hands on press day, we could only focus on one reveal—the debut of the $263k Porsche Panamera Turbo S Exclusive Edition —a car that’s so rare—only 100 were made and only 27 are sold in the U.S.
The craftsmanship and passion that went into making and design this car could turn heads of even the most uninterested driver. The sedan isn’t just powerful speed wise--from the 4.8-liter 570-horsepower turbocharged V8—it also went from zero to 60 in the luxury division: the exterior is hand-painted with two-tones that literally fade into each other; the interior is also two-tone finished in chestnut brown and piano black.
Behold, the softness and beauty of the leather, too--hand picked from the Italian luxe leather company, Poltrona Frau. The seats are ventilated for comfort, no matter the weather, and passengers in the back seat will be treated to Porsche's new Rear Seat Entertainment Plus system—in other words, 10.1-inch touchscreen computers at their beck and call. For detail enthusiasts there’s also hand-made badges to signify the car originated from the Porsche Exclusive factory.
Porsche also revealed two other stunning cars to the world: two new GTS models, the 911 Carrera GTS and the Cayenne GTS. The 911 Carrera GTS is available as coupe and convertible, equipped with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and develops 430 hp.
The Sport Chrono package and other performance enhancing features are fitted as standard equipment. The Cayenne GTS develops 440 hp and has a sporty, air suspension equipped, chassis with a lowered ride height, to take driving performance to an even higher level.
