A little mystery never hurt anyone, right? Artist Doug Aitken recently announced an upcoming project, "Station to Station: A Nomadic Happening," that he'll be staging this fall with the help of the good folks at Levi's — but he's staying mum on the details of what, exactly, those of us who happen check in with his artistic traveling roadshow will experience.

This much we do know: For three weeks this September a train will travel from New York City to San Francisco with a roster of high-profile creative types in tow. At ten stops along the way, this band of artists, musicians, chefs, and writers will create site-specific "happenings." On the docket to participate: artists Olaf Breuning, Jack Pierson, and Aaron Koblin; musicians Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dan Deacon, and Ariel Pink; writers Dave Hickey and Rick Moody; and chefs Alice Waters and Leif Hedendal, among others.

So we're not entirely in the dark. But beyond the broad strokes, the details are under lock and key — specifically the not-so-small question of what these "happenings" will actually be. Check out the video below for some additional clues, but for the full reveal, you'll have to stay tuned until later this summer. You know what they say: Good things come to those who wait.

The final episode of Mad Men's sixth season has aired. The recap has been written. Now there's only one thing left to do: announce this year's Mad Men superlatives. Who was best dressed? Which SC&P pair was the cutest couple? And who won the coveted title Most Likely to Succeed? The following list reveals all.

Best Dressed: Megan Draper

Whether decked out in a shimmery, paisley-ish dress for the ANDY Awards, hippie maternity wear for a Don Draper post-pool-flop dream sequence or just a white Sharon Tate-esque T-shirt that would spark a wave of Internet crackpot theories, Megan Draper proved she was fashion-ready for any situation.

Most Likely to Register Unjustified Complaints: Harry Crane

When he wasn't complaining about not being made partner, he was bellyaching about the fact that Bewitched had been pre-empted by the death of the most famous civil rights leader in American history. We recognize Harry's talent as head of television. Now, if he could couple that with a sense of perspective, he'd really have something.

Class Survivor: Ken Cosgrove

He drove a speeding car filled with drunken GM buffoons, got in an accident, and survived. He went hunting with those same buffoons, got shot, and once again, survived. And while he sustained some semi-serious injuries as a result of these physical endeavors, he proved that even when you're limping around with a cane, that's really no excuse not to dance:

A far cry from your now-standard music-and-substance-abuse binges like Bonnaroo and Coachella, the band's third Solid Sound festival was hosted at Mass MOCA's (Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) compound in woodsy mill-town-cum-artist's-haven North Adams. Replacing the usual festival fare of wasted shirtless bros and MDMA-induced cuddle puddles, attendees were greeted with microbrews and wine, a pop-up record store, menus that would have been right at home in your local Whole Foods, plenty of kid's activities, and, of course, an entire museum of cutting-edge art in which to meander while taking breaks from the intense heat.

Starting the weekend off with an all-request set on Friday night that ran the gamut from Wilco predecessor Uncle Tupelo's "New Madrid" to Blue Öyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" to the Replacements' "Color Me Impressed" (with actual Replacement Tommy Stinson), other highlights included a screening of the documentary The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller with live soundtrack from Yo La Tengo, up-and-comers Lucius performing under artist Xu Bing's massive Phoenix sculpture, urban birding tours, a live Radiolab broadcast, Foxygen's young Sam France getting physical with security when he decided it was a good idea to climb the stage scaffolding during his set and they disagreed (later in the evening saw the band's tambourine player being carried away — literally — by the seat of his pants), and a grand finale superjam with avant-jazz jammers Medeski Martin & Wood.

While it may read like a greatest-hits list from Stuff White People Like, a chord was definitely struck, as Solid Sound sold out and smiling faces abounded, even though the aforementioned heat coupled with New England humidity made Sunday a weight-shedding sweat-in. Backstage the overall vibe was also reminiscent more of an annual reunion of college friends than a debaucherous rock fest, with children running everywhere and artists mingling to watch shows from the sidelines together. This suited the okay-with-being-called-Dad-Rock Wilco, as in a lot of ways for the almost twenty-year-old band (and its fan base) that's exactly what it was.

Hi guys! Today I am blogging to you live from San Francisco airport. Well, not really. I’m sitting at the airport waiting for my flight, which boards in 2 hours! Yuck. But, by the time you read this, I’ll probably be back home in LA.

For those of you that don’t follow my Twitter or Instagram let me fill you in on some exciting details.

I flew in to San Francisco yesterday afternoon to film a segment for Walmart this morning. It was a lot of fun! The episode is part of their “Fitting Room” series and it comes out mid July if I’m not mistaken. I can’t wait for you guys to check it out. I talked about a few cool trends happening this fall that I’m eager to try.

This year I told myself that in order to grow I will do things outside of my comfort level and feel the fear but do it anyway. I believe it’s really important because I’ve turned down so many AMAZING opportunities due to fear in the past and this year I will not do that to myself.

Anyway, I was able to capture a few behind the scene pictures so I hope you guys enjoy this little sneak peek. Love you and stay positive!Rock My Look: Black skirt: Arden B (similar) Peplum top: Bought at a store in Paris called Bershka (Found this super cute one from ASOS here) BCBGeneration booties (More affordable black bootie here)
