So Yesterday...

...was try something new day. Did a double smackdown on that starting with lunch at the new I Love Sushi in Kaimuki with Kalima. Uhhhh. That sparseness on the belt was because we were the only ones in there. I think that gap is what we wolfed down 2 seconds after we sat down. There is something about instant gratification, especially when it's mixed with food. Oh man.

The second new thing? Oh, trying to take video. I'm no iJustine but here's the banger from last night's fashion show. Models! Don't be in such a hurry to get off the runway. That last pose before stepping down MATTERS :)


Ok. I promise no more of these unless they are good. :)

TONIGHT. Oh man. I already talked about tonight on Tuesday. I've seen Jake every night this week and he is pretty hyped for tonight. For the love people. He's got this amazing act that is going retro style (um, that's 90's to some of us) with the hip hop and live art. Think Tribe-- like that early to mid decade boom bap era. Oh... and fashion shows. Fashion!

Don't not go. The last one was epic. So much love in the room.

Thursday Talk on Tuuesday...

Oooopsies!!

Woah I just noticed it's already almost 2pm and no daily update from me. I spent all morning at the HAB training sesh (yes, it was amazing thanks!) and all of my lunch lurking Amy kellner's summer of okayness. Oopsies!

Well! It's not like there isn't anything of note tonight. You already know the deal right. RIGHT? Thursday. THURSDAY! It's totally Thursday. That's the day before Friday. Check with the green hornets at DoSomethingTonight for a list of every possible thing if you're looking for do-able options. I think I'm gonna get cozy with Netflix before the weekend. It's been too long. My poor poor poor stale queue. It hasn't moved since last month. I actually had to downgrade my membership from the 4 per month (i.e. LOSER!) to the 2 per month (i.e. a little bit of a life). Rad.


WAIT! one more thing! Thanks for introducing yourself to me a Valerie Joseph, Shelly. It's rad that you read me even tho we hadn't met before. That means the world to me. To the other people that do that too-- never stop! It matters.

Twighlight Summer Concert....

...has such a nice ring to it, no? How about a nice harp ensemble? A blanket, a loaf of bread and some cheese and some of the world's most amazing tropical botanicals. The cannonball tree is there. WHAT THE! Seriously one of the most stunning things I've ever seen in real life... but I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm really in to trees. So majestic they are! And lovely...

So anyway! A free concert in a lovely setting. Why not? Tonight's show is pipes and drums. DRUMS! Woo. I remember trying out for a pipe and drum thing. It was so cool, man. You get to totally twirl your sticks all crazy before you hit the drum each time. It was definitely a cool technique but I'm glad the sticks were attached to my wrists with a leather strap, haha.

So anyway, Thursday activity..... Foster's Botanical Garden! Right in the heart of near-downtown. A fabulous setting... with the concert at 5:30pm. Nice pau hana. Dare to be different!
...and you can go see this plant. Part of the Pea Family. *snicker*


ALSO LATER: Another budget-friendly option is Swampa ZZ at Indigo. It's free cover and some amazingly refreshing funk music.

PS: Everything to do on a Thursday....

...since for some of us it's the sorta Friday:

[where i'll be for SURE]

[how the hell do you wear shorts with no slippers? what the...]

[new spot. where the old reign is. think osake meets o lounge]

[because tourists and military can be fun sometimes.]

[late night goes off. OFF. get there by 1am stay til 4. dance dance dance.]

[this is at lotus. interesting. late night as well.]

Thursday Hip Hop. Hip HAWP.

After work you should make an attempt to eat something delicious... and I'm talking about stuff like potato chip nachos. Macadamia nut crusted warm brie with honey and basalmic vinegar. Etc. Kincaids! Pupus are half-price and YES it's a ZONE event... but good is good-- and those eats are damn good. I've been loving that spot for years. Proof.


TONIGHT as in late nite is another fantastic hip hop show that you won't regret seeing at Next Door. Pharcyde's Fatlip is there with OMNI who has been known to cahoot with the likes of Aceyalone [ahem, the best kept secret in hip hop but whatever]. Side note: hip hop show is the most underestimated source of pure unadulterated GOOD there is. Never not fun... especially the underground shows at Next Door. Good vibe. AMAZING vibe. Much love. Much energy. Much dancing.
I'll be all up in that mix.
Word.

Damn Turk!

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

[Star-Bulletin]
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:
Jun 8 2007 Get Fresh Friday @ Indigos (21+)
Jun 15 2007 Frequency @ 39 Hotel (21+)
Jun 16 2007 rRed Elephant (all ages)

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.

Tempo Valley and Paula Fuga...

...are offering their amazing talents tonight for Lacy's Teach One fund raiser. Although it's not mentioned in any of the press releases, she really needs people to donate children's slippers as well as school supplies. Come down at 7pm tonight with any sort of supplies for the children of Kamaile Elementary and pay a modest $5 to share pupus and talk story.

OH! and stop the presses! Anton Glamb is back on island!! I totally had a sighting last night. After a 'sort of' graduation from Columbia he is here to save all of us from music monotony and will be opening for Mickey Avalon next Wednesday at O Lounge. He is also rumored to have another show at Indigo's. I will most definitely keep you posted on THAT.


Last note? Flash, Molly and Payne? You guys were sooooo vodka'd last night! Haw haw. Thanks for the bottle, Lacy. It was a damn good time.

Thursday Hip Hop

Swampa ZZ is also at Indigo...

AND! a barely legal rock show at Sound House the old Detox. Scream!

Richard Cheese from Lounge Against the Machine....

....was kind enough to take over Honolulu's Nightlife Diaries while I was away this weekend. His update has posted!

PS: Check out his albums, Aperitif for Destruction is my fav ;)

THURSDAY STUFF:

I meant to say that Streets of NYC skate vid thing is tonight at Next Door. I guess they are here filming Streets of Honolulu right now. THAT will be one to see. The vid will be followed by Hip Hop show. I love hip hop show.
