Wednesday Stuff to do....

...if u wanna Hump Day Hop:

Pau Hana at the Hanohano Room atop the Sheraton Waikiki.
Half Price pupus and AMAZING sunset view. Go.


and THE SMITHS at 80's night:


I better see you tonight.

So San Francisco....

...was WOW!

No time to talk. The shots are done tho.

Chee hoo!

Some of my favorites....

...have updated!

Shad had been lagging but he makes up for it with this vid for sure:

Amy was breaking my heart to pieces for not updating the past few months but linking to her old Prince 'zine was definitely enough apologies for this girl.

...and I'm starting to worry that Patrick might move to LA if he keeps having to fly there to do his show. Yikes. We'll see tho.

Last but not least, Hawaii's Internet a.k.a. Ryan Ozawa has done it again. "It" being revolutionizing the way people in Hawaii interact online. Check out his latest project inspired by my biggest crush Kan. If you have him on Twitter you can be notified immediately when he is streaming and where. If you are still anti-twitter you can still just check the site to see what's up. I have absolutely no problem with spending my boring desk-lunches watching him stream Ala Moana beach park, etc.:

TONIGHT: Don't forget lovely NewJass Quartet at Thirtyninehotel...

[remember when they first started doing this???]

Sunflower Update

I had mentioned Colin's latest project earlier. Here's the update:



Monday monday.....
HEY! The new Red Lion in Waikiki has dollar drafts tonight. It's a Netflix'r for me tho. Lots happening this week however, stay tuned.

My Heart Belongs....

...to San Francisco.


It was a great weekend in a great city with some of the greatest people I've ever met. See you again soon!

Billboard Debut at no 5 much?!?!

Woah. Boys. So what. Is the rest of the world figuring out what us here in Hawaii have known for 15 years? EH?
Now go out and pick up their new CD "from the heart". now now now.

Congratulationssssss!!
[especially you wayne honey a.k.a. best dude ever]


some of my most memorable natty vibes moments.

Nate Sherwood Update

"just wanted to say hi. u should use this in a blog or somthing .lol"

Nate is one of those types that so intelligent that he's sometimes mistaken for completely insane. miss ya nato.

Hump Day Hop

I'm in to Wednesdays. They hurt a little so having something to look forward to is the all particular sometimes.

Flash and Matty are going for round 2 with an event at the Sheraton for their elite Skyline crowd. I personally liked the idea of Sender and all his hipster friends, but I think the idea is to give the Skyline people something to get over the mid-week blues. Since most of us are slaving away monday thru Friday to make the money that we spend spend spend on all that bottle service.

Anyway, it's worth a go. For the sunset views from the Hanohano Room alone. Not to MENTION how dope Deshannon Higa and Maria Remos are. Music. Views. Free. Chill time. etc.

THEN you can decide if it's worth going all out for Makana at Indigo, 80s at Next Door and of course barely legals at the O Lounge.

Weekend Update Yo

highlights from the weekend. TONS of food.

Chef Mavro's new spot at Harbor Court is a MUST do. For reals.






so is the wailoi tea room in manoa. you gotta pre-order the tea service tho so don't forget!

and last but not least... the POOL PARTY that flash and matty do at the sheraton waikiki the last sunday of every month. best sunday everrrrr.


the entire photo blog is here. i would look. food. hats. and bikinis.

and ps: WHERE the heck is john berger? i haven't seen him in like a month.

Looks like Hi-Rolling...

...is gonna blog now.

and it looks like colonel landed this 360 flip.

Busy week means un-busy weekend. Ya right! Hello Saturday.

Right THIS second I'm off to tea with the fasion and SMART ladies in Manoa then to indie night tonight at Next Door with the CD-release party of Sattelite Grey. Very much looking forward to this.

As for the past week? The entire set is uploaded. Just want highlights? OK!
models on the bar at pearl

dueling watches with sakara's visiting brother rob at the ice bar

streaming live from manoa!

and finally, the best hip hop show since kool herc

HELLO Friday!

Anything of note tonight? A few f-f-f-fabulous f-f-food f-f-friday options that I know of are the openings of both Cassis [Harbor Court] and another Roy's [Waikiki Beachwalk].

There's also a new party happening at Thirtyninehotel for the indie/dance crowd. It's supposed to be pretty fun, I chatted with one of the promoters about it last night. New parties are fun!:


PS: Last night was crazy. Like a dream or something. The show was VERY good though. I had nightmares for the 2 hours I laid down though so please excuse me for now. Tired.

Learning! I learned a few things.

SO!
i'm totally excited in geek-land right now because i just figured out how to search just one site on Google. it was to find this picture:

i was looking for mako on my website so i put "mako site:supercw.com" in the search window and it pulled up everything from my site that has that. i'm SURE someone out there was wondering how to do that.

Last night was pretty ridiculous, by the way. If "ridiculous" means "BEST time ever". The pics are slowly making their way to the world of cyberspace so i'll let you know when. Actually, it appears that Chris's take is way better than what i can whip up so enjoy that for now.

Tonight is the last night of the Honolulu International Film festival AND the Zion i/The Grouch show at ND. I might go.

Something SUUUUPER Rad I came across at work today

The first year of Thrasher magazine.

[might take a second to load]
This was uploaded to the new YouTube for documents called "Scribd". It's about to blow up. Get in there.

SO what. Wanna start a software or Internet company?

Fear Not! Now there's not one, not two, but THREE venture capital firms that are offering the opportunity to people that might otherwise be clueless.
It started with YCombinator but has now been expanded [copied?] to TechStars and even YEurope. Early stage specialists with the idea that providing more support (housing, consultants, pocket cash, introductions to investors) than liquid might actually be the way to get a company on its feet. Think about your idea. Then think some more. Then apply. That's right... apply. There's no business plan slash pitch meeting it's straight question and answer... If you have a great product or idea the passion will be there and you could very well be on your way to one of three "startup camps" to get to work.

MY idea? Oh, I totally want to produce a documentary and follow a company through the entire process. You already know I have an affection for Justin.tv who is funded by YCombinator, but check out some of their other young ducklings that are being nursed to health in SF, Colorado and Vienna. I bet you can do it too.

Saturday and Sunday recap with the stars

me and daniel dae kim saturday night.



me and daniel dae kim sunday afternoon.


Yes, friends. It was *hip hop voice* DDK All Day *end hip hop voice* weekend.

[you can see what i'm talking about now if you want.]

Tuesday Stuff like Films and Fashion

So tonight the Honolulu International Film Festival Spring Showcase continues. I used to be a huge fan of Twin Peaks but am not so hot on the horror tip anymore. Sigh. According to Suren in LA:

Inland Empire is Lynch at his best - funny, thoughtful, eerie, beautiful, dark, deeply disturbing, and terrifying in a way that few horror films have ever affected me. The film is a slow burn, taking its time (about 3 hours), leaping through realities and bizarre encounters, continually keeping the audience asking themselves what reality they are experiencing, and what that reality means.

Sounds good. OH! Don't forget the Betsey Johnson fashion show event at Pearl tonight too. Makana is playing! You know how I feel about that.

'FASHION SHOW FOR THE EARTH'
Presented by Aveda Salon & Spa at Ala Moana with Betsey Johnson fashion show to benefit Hawaii Nature Center:
» Place: Pearl Ultralounge, Ala Moana Center Hookipa Terrace
» Time: 7 to 9 p.m. April 24
» Admission: $10 pre-sale at Aveda Salon & Spa; $15 at the door
» Call: 947-6141

Star-Bulletin's article.

LASTLY! The trendiest, funniest, hottest and friendliest night at Next Door by far:
[$3 Pabst!]

Can't do the entire weekend all at once...BUT

I CAN show you the first half.

Main things? Random weekday outings, Urban Pacific, the SMART magazine party, and chinatown adventures.

I'm busy right now.... but soon I'll finish with the Matt Costa show, Tea at Halekulani and Kokua Festival (ya i went... wasn't planning on it... but you know how that goes....)

Stay with me now.

Honolulu Film Fest according to, um, me.

Saw Cats Of Mirikitani today. What made me enjoy this film so much was Jimmy Mirikitani himself. His stories, his observations. His personality. His TALENT. Linda, the director who films this piece for over a year of following Jimmy around New York city and some other places, was a bit too doting for my taste. The dude doesn't need help. He needs to express himself. If she eased up only slightly and let the story unfold on its own (and she does for the most part-- brilliant work) then it would get a perfect 10 in my book.

Outfuckingstanding for the first day. I'm gonna check out David Lynch's stuff on Tuesday.

Nice afternoon too today, btw. Sooo windy. Since I insisted of parking on the roof of the parking garage at Dole today guess what time it was. Guess!
KITE time. :)


Matt Costa tonight. I can't tell you how excited I am for this performance. I know he was just here but it really feels like you can never get enough of his show. Like Makana. Except... how much luckier could I get that Makana lives HERE. Oh, I don't know.... how about having him and Matt Costa playing together. Tonight. !!!

Back to "that place"

"Artherton" is going back there. I was too. Maybe we all can. OOOH! Maybe we can share.
I hate feelings. I remember when I didn't have them. Life was bliss. A little cold sometimes but doubts came from nowhere.

Moving on. HEY! Some ideas for you this weekend:

9pm SMART Magazine's 2-year milestone fabulousfashionistadarlings event at the W

*sigh*
