Labor Day Weekend, day one

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.

Two times Thirty Five...

...equals two years of Bar35.

Remember when Gelareh opened her spot? She just called it the address...only a cooler way. Thirtyninehotel. 39 Hotel Street. Well Dave Stewart knows a good idea when he sees one, and along comes even more options for the scensters that dwell in Chinatown with the addition of Bar35. TWO years we're celebrating that venture. Tonight. I'll be there at 7pm to gulp down those yummy raspberry beers before the opening night of the Honolulu Symphony. Sarah Chang is gonna KILL it on that Sibelius, but I have to admit I'm really looking forward to the Wagner. He knows what's up as far as brass and percussion. I totally remember actually getting numb from so much chicken skin playing his that damn Tannhauser Overture. Ya, his full operas were pretty cool too. If you're in to that. I mean. The Flying Dutchman. Come on.

Here's some other Saturday picks, paying special attention to the barely legals. They gotta party too.

First, a special guest DJ at Thirtyninehotel. Saturdays there are fun.


Some barely legal options:

WHAT!? A myspace party here again? Interesting. It won't be as fun as the ones I got to help host. But I'm sure there's still people out there that are stoked on Tom.


And finally, Miss Lisa Shaw is at Lotus tonight. That's worth trying to stay up.

Not like...

...next door like the place next to your place. Like, Next Door the spot at 43 N Hotel Street in the heart of Chinatown. It's made a huge impact in this little town since it first opened and a major impact in my little world. Just a quick nosing around and i found that a lot lot LOT of memories have already been created and archived since its opening in 2005. Some of the best underground hip hop acts I've ever seen and even some major ones like Blackaliscous and Kool Herc. Matt Costa TWICE. Local people that I can't get enough of like Paula Fuga and the delicious Makana. Stuff like Cinema Paradise. Skate video premieres. Make outs. Private parties. Public parties. Urban Pacific. Smart bar. Discussions. Acid Wash.... I mean DAMN. Hard to even believe it's just TWO years old. Well, we're obviously going to join in the celebration all through this weekend.






So ya, come join the celebration. Tonight is a special fashion show by Dan and there's stuff happening all weekend.


Thank you for existing. Serious.
Love, Christa

Mmmm Cherry Blossom Bottoms....

...Happy Birthday ladies!


I would suggest everyone go down to Next Door tonight and catch the cabaret. The girls are pro and since its their birthday there will be all kinds of special treats. Including one of my fav local acts the Malcognitas. Delish!


It's also a SKYLINE night people. Let me know who wants to come. You know how I do it.

Oh don't think...

....I didn't notice THIS!



[ps: pictures from the cut n sewn anniversary party are up on dan's flickr... it was fun! i took like 3 pics so yay, he's got his uploaded... enjoy]

The Week before the Weekend...

...is ready in photos for you to crawl through. Highlights? The strip tease goodness that is the Cherry Blossom Burlesque, Anton killing it at O lounge, niceness in Waikiki wtih Der including a teensy bit of the Louis Vuitton copycat white party, Ryan Laskey's spared-no-expense going away party at the presidential suite, first Friday's art walk in Chinatown AND the Enterprise dancedancedancedance party that was the most fun ever ever ever.

The pics are up. Look.

Damn Turk!

...they grow up so fast! Wasn't it like 4 years days ago when your boy was just a wee grom???

What else what else. Oh! Dude. Last night was dopedopedope. If you missed Anton at the O Lounge becuase of the craziness to see Mickey don't worry! He's playing the a few more shows while he's home:

TONIGHT you should venture to Waikiki for Lava Rock Thursdays. It's a new event at the International Market Place by this dude from SF that I met at Lotus on Sunday. I don't know much about him except he had super rad kicks on and was very hyped on putting this together for us. Groove, hip-hop, old school and reggaeton on the stereo and $2 mai tais. They are open til 4am too. WHAT! Party. Call 808-926-5282 for directions.
