Yikes. Sorry people. I DID update my photo blog. You can look at that. Give me a minute or two to catch up on random things here though. I just started my new job today. Things will be slow for a second. Good slow though.
Tonight I'm going to say Happy Birthday to Trisha Lasago Goldberg then swoon over Pennylane then double-swoon over Ross Jackson. Eventsa Galore-a.
See you soon.
I love you Dan. Thanks for resorting to plan B for photo updates. Good 'ol Flickr.
Here's his shots from Anton's show at indigo Friday:
Dude. I used to see you everywhere. Where have you been??
I heard you're gonna have some stuff at this Ground Up Movement show thing tonight. Reason enough for me to peep it, yo. It's in Chinatown which is Indigo town which is where Anton Glamb is playing tonight. Friday plans? Done.
I remember you. My mom had your record and I used to play it even when I wasn't allowed to even GO NEAR her record player. I was soooo jealous of my sister and her best friend because their actual names are Lisa and Wendy just like your backup girls. I wanted to have sex with you before I even knew what sex was. Your music was so hot back then. YOU were so hot back then.
So ya, don't think I'm not totally going to be out tonight celebrating your day at Mercury bar. Duh!
PS: Nocturnal Sound Crew KILLED it last night. OMG that was like the most fun ever. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!
PS: ROSS!!
Lucy is back. She's going to be at 80s tonight. So are the Nocturnal Sound Crew! I just 'happened' to be there one time for one of these and it blew me away. Most fun everrr.
I guess I have to say goodbye to Melissa and Stephanie now too. Even tho I don't want to. Maybe if Dan ever updates danceonpartyon you will get to meet them and see why I'm straight-woman-crushing. Either way. BYE GIRLS! Last night ruled.
Ok that's all.
...wait that's totally not true. Forget I even said that-- and excuse my total lack of enthusiasm today. I haven't been this angry in a super long time. 18 months to be exact.
Sorry. Moving on. The photo blog is done.
highlights? ok.
Spent a lot of time at the Sheraton this past week. You already saw Ryan's going-away. Spent the weekend there with Derin too. 
It was Skyline's anniversary as you know... and some other stuff. 
Also kicked it with Nu Mark from Jurassic 5 which was a hell of a treat.
I guess stuff like this will pass. Seriously. Stay away from me.
...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.
So last night I went to the Sheraton to say goodbye to Ryan Laskey. I miss him already. He was totally introducing me to everyone as the "one who made Skyline successful". I was like Hey! I just GO to Skyline. Apparently, he truly believes that me showing up in the beginning days with my camera and making it look a lot more fun than it was in my blogs is what ultimately brought the massive crowds that come today. THREE YEARS ago! Man, did they even HAVE the internet way back then? Lol. Ya... I mean, I can see that. My photo blog is archived so you can see for yourself how appealing it did or didn't look. Try to get past my prose back then. I was swearing a lot for some reason.
But ya anyway. TONIGHT is the anniversary of Skyline. Kind of a big deal to supercrew. Such a big deal that we wear all white. It's noticable. Like us I guess. Please come help celebrate. Make sure you wear all white though... and bring some cash. Even the guest list pays tonight (but not that much).
Other interesting things tonight-- Nu Mark from Jurassic 5 is at Next Door and Marcus is introducing his new Kai Vodka to the barely legals at Monkey Bar tonight. I'm going to attempt to be at all three. 
WHAT THE?! SO I totally heard Paula Rath's announcement about the Advertiser's new fasion magazine at the Fashion Incubator waaay back in April. I totally didn't expect to see them launch with the most comprehensive fashion and lifestyle website that Honolulu has ever seen! WOAH. I'm super duper impressed. The site is totally pro both visually and content-wise, which for some reason is a concept lost on some ventures. They've introduced pretty much anything you would be interested in knowing about nightlife as well, which is making me cheese uncontrollably this morning for reals.
LOVE IT!
As for tonight it's First Friday so that means art walk in Chinatown. If you're not over it then I would suggest checking out Tempo Valley at the Hawaii State Art museum and then dancing your ass off later at Sound House for the Enterprise party.
...they grow up so fast! Wasn't it like 4 years days ago when your boy was just a wee grom???
...get it.
But whatever, lovelies. You're all super crazy about him so word. I'll be there tonight to support Anton Glamb... and maybe stick around to watch his half-assed rhyming over strange beats that all sound like I've heard them before. You know why? Because you are SO cute when you get all worked up like that.
Anton isn't *exactly* what you call 'mainstream' either but his music is genius. His attitude is the best you'll ever witness.
AND? He bombs the Pali in a speedo.
...oh who are we kidding. Summer is SO here. I mean, come on. All the college hotties are home. The pool parties at the Sheraton are in full swing. There was hell-a people at the sandbar. I'm tan. It's like 80 degrees out at 11am. SUMMER.
So listen I'm working SUPER hard on getting these two photo blog updates done. iJustine is now livestreaming on justin.tv tho so it's crazy hard to stay focused today. By the end of the day tho. Promise!
Highlights? OK!
...some time in the sun, homey-path-ick meds and hot-and-sour soup was all I needed. Thanks, friends.
NOTHING will keep me in tonight. I've spent too much time here and I'm crawling the walls. The pool party was my pupu to tonight's Planet of the Drums at Lotusmynewfavoriteclub. We are *almost* calling Lotus the "new wave" by the way. Just saying:
Tomorrow at 10am sharp I'm catching a boat out to the sandbar. Where we are TOTALLY not allowed to "party" anymore after the craziness in '05. Remember?! If not I linked those photos below. Oh, sandbar. How we love you...
HERE you can relive the moments if for some reason you're not coming tomorrow. Or just because. It was definitely something we all treasured tho... we knew it wouldn't last. Here they are.
PS: I can not get my shots to upload. My cable connection is acting strange and sporadic and even though I spent years and years fixing shit like this I can't figure out what's up. Pics may be dfelayed til June 1st. Sorry :(
...I'll ever complain on here.
So I'll get it all out now.
I'm SICK and it SUCKS.
I wiped my nose all through my interview at Visionary. Hacked myself to death in an intimate Kai vodka tasting. Coughed on Sakara's shoulder. Missed a Trolley pub crawl. Missed Natty Vibes's cd release.... you would think since I'm dying here at home that I would have plenty of time to do the weekly photo update. Hah. Every time I start it's too overwhelming and I just feel weak and get back in bed.
So today. When I'm finally feeling like I can at least handle the pool party at the Sheraton. I get out of bed. In to this cute bikini. Out to my car. Dead. The hybrid has 'decided' to crash. No more car. How do you translate misery into words in a blog? I know. With an old photo of the cat I tried to have last year:
So G-spot is having this massive pub crawl in Chinatown tonight.
Before that goes down, I heard from a little HAA birdie that there's new stuff in the contemporary room at the academy... and this only happens once a month:
OH! and since we're going in backwards order... go to the Moana Surfrider hotel today at 1pm for a meet and greet for Andy's new love! AW! Tessa! Congratulations on your new life. HERE!
OH! and one last thing... the Rainbow Film Festival starts today. The schedule is up so check it.
Happy Memorial Day weekend... I'll put up more ideas for you later.
...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.
So anyone who wants to trade... I have a 2000 hybrid honda with an expired safety check/registration and a 64x2 dual processor pc that I'll hand over for a BIKE and a MAC. Please e-mail me.
Tuesdays are special here. You already know this I think. At the risk of repeating myself every Tuesday about Thirtyninehotel and Next Door I'll touch on something different.... Honolulu Magazine's Photo Contest.
It's the 3rd one and the entries are getting more and more pro but YOU DO have a shot! The prize? Oh. Publication in their magazine and cash UP TO $500. Not the greatest incentive for pros but it would certainly look nice on a beginner's rez.
Full rules and info here.
If you're looking for Tuesday event info check dosomethingtonight they have it on lock for now. AND if you're looking for scoops on last night's bowling adventures check kalima. Mine will be around someday. *yawn*
