His choices are eclectic ( just like his taste in music). There is modern art - exemplified by a distinctive Rotkho painting --  |

At the other end -- A Velazquez painting of the Spanish school  And from the Post-Impessionism period ( and some say, a prelude to modern art) -- A still life by Cezanne  |

And also a preference for Oriental art, embodied by two pieces -- A riveting painting by a Japanese artist  And a suit of Japanese armor  |

Sorry, two the thumbnails ( Cezanne and Japanese armor) won't reproduce.
I wonder what kind of art do they have at their home?

His advocacies extend to ecological /healthy living issues -- www.pehub.com/155463/hugh-jackman-thomas-h-lee-invest-in-balance-water/quote: Balance Water Inc. closed on a Series A financing round from Emil Capital Partners, Thomas H. Lee and Hugh Jackman. Balance is a non-flavored functional beverage bottled locally in California, New York, Sydney, Australia and next month in Cologne, Germany. Its point of difference is the use of wild harvested Australian flowers that it infuses into its five main products, Mind, Relax, Refresh, Digest and Travel. Similar in function and benefit to certain herbal teas, though without any flavor, the Balance range is expanding out of specialized natural products channels into mainstream retail... Jo |

Just my opinion, but this sounds like a very esoteric, specialty product. I wonder how it will do when they offer it in mainstream retail stores. Maybe they'll sell it at the Laughing Man store.

Makes sense now why Balance water was the brand served at all the Global Poverty Project presentations in NYC.

It looks like they might enjoy good weather at Bryant Park during the weekend? It is an open air event. I remember going there many years back, in the month of June, for the annual Broadway concert ( if I recall right, we got to hear Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell sing) and it was freezing :o And we had to be there very early to get some seating. I do not know what arrangements they will make for this festival, though. Bryant Park is used for so many activities - I have gone there twice for their Christmas fair. And of course Hugh and Ewan M ate lunch there once  Jo |
