Groupon and Young Storytellers →
It’s no secret that Young Storytellers is one of my favorite things about living in Los Angeles. This week only, anyone in the world can contribute and make a huge difference in an elementary school. Please visit the Groupon page and spread the word. Pun not really intended.

Me: How does that influence you?
Louis: Ummm.. Everyone should pay attention to the credits from now on.
