Ok, I'm not going to update this blog anymore you guys. It's all moved over to http://www.supercw.com/blog and, with the exception of a splash page, it's totally done.
Bookmark/subscribe/link the new site and bye bye forever, blogger. It wasn't fun having to retype your word verification twice for every entry made because the first one was ALWAYS wrong. I mean, I liked you... but that wasn't cool.
It should be longer. It could be longer. Maybe one day it will be longer. But I guess I'll live with 10 seconds.
Chinatown First Friday Art Walk in 10 Seconds from Fort Street Pulse... I helpded!!
AND... one of the most compelling finds this year. It's so sad and amazing. I can't even stand it. I'm speechless. Tell me you've seen post secret? Please look. OMG.
Look through the site. Subscribe. Watch the video. Cry. Laugh. Cry more. Then think more as you saunter through your week.
[new supercw.com up soon! wooo]
So Carlos is totally freaking me out. He is talking about all this blog stuff and archives and formats and I'm just thinking... are all these years and hours that I've invested going to be rolled into some lameo everyday wordblogspotpress plain jane blogroll yada yada that looks like every other blog in the world? No WAY! SUPERCW.COM is SPECIAL damn it. It's very personal and very heartfelt and even though when I look through all these archives I notice quite a bit of cheese, there is a sincere appreciation for everything I've been able to witness and lurk and distribute in this medium. It CAN'T be less than perfect.
*Sigh*
You know what? I trust him. His other sites are very simple and elegant and he himself pretty much rules. I guess being so fiercely independent and in control of what I do for so long is what's creating all this hesitance. In actuality? I'm hyped! I think?
No, I am. It's gonna rule.
So supercw.com will be down for the next 24-72 hours while the domain name is redirected. Be patient. Look at my old school blogs if you need a fix. For now...... it's all under construction.
You know something else... I mean, Amy for example. She is right there with me as far as seeing the new gen take over blog-and-age-wise. But, I'm freaking out because she has actually actually suggested that she may even stop blogging all together. This can't happen. Just because there are younger, more vibrant, more sleazy, more colorful, more talented, more intelligent, more whatever types creating their own domains doesn't mean that YOURS still isn't being tirelessly stalked for whatever personal reasons your readers have. Please just never stop. I vote yes to all the thirtysomething photo bloggers on the Interweb forever. Love, Christa.
OH! ps: don't think i don't have a bank of shots just waiting to be shown to you ver soon. including molly's crazycrazyfun80snight birthday party. SOON!

...it IS, after all, the second Saturday. I got the text for this competition's theme but totally forgot what it was. I know that brilliantairre Maui artist Joe Pa'a'hana is participating, and since the LOST people are back on island working they might have whipped something up too. Shane Cross? You in? Who else... Gerard? Rob? Well, in any case I always enjoy these. Get there early to get a good spot-- this thing fills up.
Also tonight-- Terren Zorne and Chris Cano are debuting their new party at Longhi's. Very posh stuff. Body painting, bottle service (recommended-- the booths at Longhi's are rad), checkered floor. Should be right.... and you always want to be at the first anything, right? Always always always the best one. 
Some special events are happening though. Mainly the "official" launch of Alex and Corey's site that you've heard me mention here and there. It's called "DoSomethingTonight" and it's pretty good. Most times the faces behind anything web or technology driven are NOT like this:
I don't know how they get anything done with it since they're always out partying but whatever man. It's the best resource that I've seen and totally unbiased. If you do any events and you haven't sent them the info go ahead and do that. Come by their launch party tonight too. They're really nice guys. They probably won't be sober tho. Just saying.
Later you can see the first ever MC battle at O Lounge at FLOW. Or see the portrait thing at Thirtyninehotel that I mentioned earlier this week. Or just stay at Next Door and check out Doc Martin. That's always a nice crowd.
Enjoy!
...the usual. You know. 
The long long long update is ready ready ready. Click, click away. More soon.
Ok. So you may or may not know that I have a bit of a thing for portraits. Portraits and trees. If I was any good at photography you can bet that I would be chasing all of you down to sit for a cw-style portrait. Look for my faves one day, but for now you can look forward to the new exhibit at Thirtyninehotel this Friday. I know, right. First Friday. A.k.a. When-Downtown-turns-into-ZOO day. 
date: Friday, September 7
event: First Friday Opening Reception
time: 6pm-9pm & 9pm-2am
admission: FREE (21+ w/valid ID)
6pm-9pm, opening reception for Portraiture Revisited: thirtyninehotel's First Annual Juried Exhibition.
Artists: Mandell Andres, Dana Forsberg, Jaqueline Hegarty, Erika Johnson, Wendy Kawabata, April Lee, Mark Maresca, Lori Ohtani, Jessica Oshita, Ryan Kerns.
Juror: Gaye Chan, Artist and Chair, Department of Art and Art History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
After the reception, stick around for DJ Harvey and Chittom. Global cult hero DJ Harvey joins Double Joy’s Mark Chittom for an evening of left-field classics, nu-disco, and wall-to-wall revelry.
...and I *technically* didn't find it. It's the rentable photo booth! Ok, anyone on the mainland reading this, go ahead and K to the next blog because I'm sure you have something like this on speed dial.
But HAWAII!! OMG! WTF! LOL! You must check out Bluecheese Hawaii and rent that ish. Then INVITE me. I'm sitting here on a Tuesday morning trying to come up with unique photo booth concepts. Chris hit this already after that stint at ice palace and yes, I think I agree that the individuals are my fave.
Woah. Nice evening. Let's relax today. Drive to the Sheraton Waikiki. Park in the garage. Walk outside to the pool. Validate your ticket. Buy a mojito. Lurk all the skin. Enjoy Sunday. For three dollars and free parking.
Saturday. I know there's something I'm supposed to be doing. Can't. Quite. Figure it out.
Either way! Tonight is the GROUNDUP movement. The last one was dopedopedope so make sure you get to chinatown. It's right across from Little Village and there is no age requirement whatsoever.
Later tonight at E&O there is a monthly happening from the Downtowne ladies Ruby and Kayko. If you don't know about these parties, I'm not sure I really want to tell you. They are for women who love women and they go OFF on the themes. Tonight is fashion week and I'm not missing this for the world. 
More soon, these are the picks tho. Check my boys at DoSomethingTonight.com for a more intensive list. I know Adam Saaks is back-- I saw him at the Smart mag party. So get a shirt at Skyline!
OOOOOh and Nicole Scherzinger is back home to host da kine at the Monkey Bar with the Vertial Junkies at the Hyatt. Don't not go! She's single now and hothothot.
