ahhh. not so much this sapphire martini, but more so the mirror up there. i was in the bus driver club for quite some time and sitting here having a cocktail looking at that kind of made my evening last thursday. i’m almost positive that came from the hubcap of a bus.
spend some time talking to the north shore’s jimmy dicarlo why don’t you? he’s brilliant. i’m so excited to go over to soho at 6 tonight that i’m actually blogging about it. everyone welcome. come on down.
…but I’d work my ass off if I actually was selected to be the Lifestyle Correspondent at Murphy Goode’s Winery. Jeez… I’d kinda just do what I’ve been doing here since forever, only about wine.
What they say:
“We’re looking for someone who really knows how to use Web 2.0 and Facebook and blogs and social media and YouTube and all sorts of good stuff like that — to tell the world about our wines and the place where we live: the Sonoma County Wine Country. “
IKNOWRITE?!?!?!?! I’ve been watching the applicants since this thing started. At first I was like, oh HELL ya, this will be a snap! Nobody was getting it. They had no idea what MG was really looking for. I’ll admit, since then there’s been some super killer videos, but I’m still gonna go for it. You never know unless you try right?
Oh, and guess what. There’s a popularity contest element. So. Can you take a sec and vote for me? You know you guys will get to come along if I actually get this.
aaaaaaa, let me sit down and get some of these photos out. in case any of you ever tear yourselves away from facebook long enough to read blogs anymore =)
i gotta tell you. becker is so fun! he brought like seven hundred glow stick thingies WITH the fasteners so we could all be fun colorful glowing party monsters for his birthday party.
oh ya, my blog. i can’t keep up aaaaaaa. too much work this week but i’ll be back soon. got some good stuff for you if i can just sit down for a few hours and get it up. soooon.
omg. asger carlsen has new stuff. it’s sick and wrong. i was having a hard time with it. i eventually went to his older collections and immediately felt better though. this guy. he’s just damn. there’s only like one or two other photographers in the world that can calm my crazy hectic week with one photograph. bravo.
before i get in to what i’m about to do, let me take a moment to appreciate the effectiveness of the pre party. i’ll admit it’s been a while since i’ve really even done this. in fact, i’m pretty sure it was with these dudes the last time, but ya, i was on a mission to see if you could really get drunk off AGWA. i mean, the stuff is herbal and made out of cocoa leaves, and only 60 proof. bah.
if you did then you know the concert announcement i blabbed to the world…. pretty excited for this show.
mainstreamers, this band is kind of like your M.I.A. - the paper planes girl that you only just found out about and now love. this song is going to be your paper planes next year. come to the show and say you were there way back when.
i will forever get hyped when i hear this track no matter how many times it gets played, i think. love you, bamp.
friday i had no idea how i was going to do the Black Diamond grand opening reception from 7p-9p and still get a good seat for Showdown in Chinatown by 8:30p AND make it to F&M’s new big Friday weekly at the old W. you could say i having what you might call a nightlife crisis. …
i guess if you write enough people eventually call you a writer. say hello to the new nightlife columnist for the honolulu weekly (hello!). look for my column The Social Lite every week to see what wonderful, intelligent, genius things i have to say about… the nightlife. not gonna lie, i’m pretty excited about this.
i feel like i slept on this one. i mean, am i the last person to spend three hours on a sunday afternoon staring at takashi okada’s site? i would pretty much do anything to see one of his installations in person. and as you can see, he ain’t half bad at drawing either.
an update from the weekend is coming sooner than you think.
supercw.com burned out? HA! pardon me if i tend to focus my time more towards the things that actually give me the money to live. come on though, you know this is where my heart is, and i’ll never leave it. it’s just like, short hiatuses so i can do things like pay my rent.
so ya, oh, hi david dondero. ooo in this light it almost looks like we’re under water. which is fitting, i guess… since this is some kind of surf event thing!
This was an entry made in June of 2007. The first time I ever saw a GroundUP show which also happened to be the same weekend I went to a wicked rad BBQ with Thirtyninehotel and DJ Harvey at Kaimanas. I was so huped! Figured I’d post this while I gather my images from this past weekend. one of the most epic weekends I’ve had in a while. See you soon… cw
so the groundUP movement is no joke. they put together an impressive list of young artists and had a show like i’ve never seen on smith street last friday. big UPs to the family there and ho cuz! let me get up on that wall!
friday art is with a quickness and no it’s not a photo of me. ok yes it is. you guys don’t understand how much love i have/had for that trooper. it never worked, i dumped hundreds and hundreds of dollars in to it every mid-month paycheck, just to have it still not work. but that day i was driving down to first friday with passion pit there was absolutely nothing wrong in the world. the WORLD. and being a part of one of my biggest obsession’s site was seriously a minute detail in the overall picture of the moment he captured.
have a glass of wine tonight with me this evening? a portion of every glass we drink is going to help SurfAid International. there’s gonna be food too. and david dondero. wine for charity? WIN!
it’s always those last few shirts that need to be pushed out with some sorta incentive. how about….. free shipping !(thanks organik!!)
buy now. the sizes are listed on the site. the mens are almost gone, still some in the green girls though. this is it you guys - only 1 run of this model and that’s IT!
man my sense of humor. it might be slightly off. i think lonely island is SO funny. the whole time i was aboard the makani catamaran today i couldn’t stop thinking about this video.
so rad to see more from aaron, he’s amazing. i just spent my entire breakfast on his new site. the looks are good.
whew long week of work and non work - but the night that was my favorite was tuesday. everyone who could stop by to wish dan and pomai happy trails to new york at thirtynine was there. it was a nice time. i didn’t have canon but dan did. easter was rad too. i just wish we read the directions on those foil color kits before we started trying to make them, lol. pics soon.
pics forever.
i know right! is this still honolulu’s nightlife diaries? am i on the wrong channel? nope. you’re here. with me. just sometimes i get some crazy rad invites.
tonight, i’m back poolside at the parc. yes, the second night in a row i’m there. didn’t i just tell you it’s the hot new thing.
ha this photo might only make sense to the starbucks drive-thru girl and me, but man i love her. she knows me better than most people i know and pretty much has the exact same sense of humor. the other day, through the speaker box thing, we were both having a laugh at how the rice krispie treat is actually called a more non-brand-name friendly “crispy marshmallow square”. when i pulled up to the window i found that she had properly labeled my treat
just a sec - look at this faaaace. can life ever do you wrong when you’re in the company of one maka? no? right that’s what i’m saying. and that’s what i said last week….
pardon me while i recover from a pretty amazing week and weekend of events and nightlife and such. from the miu miu grand opening and seven after parties extravaganza to the passport to luxury to daniel dae kim putting his roots down in the community with the counter grand opening to a frigging AMAZING kid cudi show at rapture to the ridiculously well executed (and long time needed) hawaii ocean expo… i gotta get these photos up for ya.
the links are some other perspectives to the greatness. mine comes soon. sooooon.
