…well there’s more than one actually. first is that i won’t be watching til tomorrow. so don’t tell me what happened! oh wait. i already know. man, they be some LYING survivors too! oooooo damn.
no, but the funny thing is my stance. i was very comfortable holding the nikon f4 they gave me until i realized the flash wasn’t picking up. it’s like that sensor thingie went bad. i was so scared that the production guys were gonna be like “oh, ok, well go in the back instead and be some other sort of whatever” instead of in the SECOND ROW of the “international press conference”. so i totally played it off to them and was like “look! it works fine!” with my finger casually on the manual test flash
oh ya, that’s the other funny thing. i got to sit behind cheech. CHEECH!
Hi! sorry it said “weekend picks” all day Monday. I meant to have this update here for you. Like a surprise. like, woah! christa updated fast! i just heard about that miami-style pool party that everyone was at on sunday and bam! here are the photos!
ya, tell me when i ever let you down….
starting with friday. i was at W salon lurking models. HI! [Read more →]
OH WOAH! guess what people. HiFi is doing an exclusive designer showcase/fashion show thing at Candy Bar tonight… the same night Ravi Drums is back!! i haven’t seen him since the white party. talk about damn special. Want to know something MORE special?? YOU ARE ON THE LIST! ALL OF YOU! until midnight too. so find some damn non-sneaker shoes and a non-t-shirt shirt and get over to the mall and support me us. i’ll obviously need your full name by 5pm today for all this to happen. let’s make it happen!
later today you should cruise by exclusive. i read somewhere that there is a pretty epic show going on in the early afternoon hours.
rick rock also handed me a pretty invitation to check out the new champions on keeamoku this evening. that could get crazy. his “industry and media” events tend to get a bit nuts. i’ll try to make that one for sure!
what else. OH! i’m not sure i want to tell you because i want to get a seat!! it’s showdown in chinatown tomorrow. shhhh! it starts at 8 11 so get there around then.
just let it load. it’s gonna be a while. if you are one of my iphone friends you might want to set it down for a bit. sorry.
you know me. such a wordy mcworderson i am. let’s see. OH! and hey, these are totally out of order this week. my bad! but i see here that i’m starting with this past saturday. i had to work…
ah, mall parties. does it get any better? yes? WHAT! you better be telling me where. i’m so there.
meanwhile i was lurking lifehouse at work last week. WHAT! what’s going on here. great. it looks like i don’t know how to watermark images from my point and shoot. crap. can you bear with me just on this one and i’ll fix that next time? omg! thank you so much! [Read more →]
:TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT Last chance to celebrate Earth! Nah, not really, I mean I HOPE you don’t just celebrate in April. Just in case you do though, make sure to check out Art After Dark. In keeping with the conserve earth theme there will be tons of hippy stuff and natural stuff and eco-friendly stuff. everything except organik, because ed is in the vip suite at coachella this weekend. jerk. So ya! The early people will be rewarded with plenty of parking and natural light. Congrats to Cori and Lacy and everyone that is able to continue dazzling us with these cool themes every month.
OMG! the last night to bring a cooler to the Loft ever? ever ever? YAY! Sorry, chinatown kids, but i mean that in the nicest possible way. The loft ain’t paying their bills with no bar and all of you scooting in there without paying cover. Celebrate tonight. celebrate the fact that they are finally going to be able to make some $$ and pay out their staff and stay open. after their May closure to get it all ready, of course. WOoooo.
:SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY ever walk in to a room full of people that want to be there? do you know what i mean? well saturday is your lucky day because there’s two special events that will have just that. people that are hyped to be there and that sort of vibe totally shows. come see groundup pirate shaun’s love moment show at prototype.
christa, I sincerely invite you and all your friends (and all who reads this) to come out and support me at my solo art show called the Love Movement. The show will open this Saturday, April 26, at Prototype- located at Uptown, Pearlridge (next to Pricebusters). I am fortunate and blessed by the fine folks at Prototype for giving the space to showcase my work. It may possibly be my last solo art show in Hawaii, so it would be a blessing if you could be there and grace me with your presence at my show.
Friends that have been checking out the new open bar free shit website for honolulu at myopenbar already know they can get free tapas and only pay $5 for rsvp’ing to oceanfront. rum fire RULES! i highly recommend checking that place out early.
House music all night long & a little bit of hip-hop with FM DJs mrbRown, Eskae, Byron the Fur, Rayne FREE tapas until 10pm! p-2a, 21 & up, FREE self parking, stylish attire. eserve a firepit(!) with bottle service at vip@flashandmattyboy.com
jake the snake brings an entirely new batch of creativewow to next door at his monthly The Next Movement:
Ok, starting this month’s show off right will be Cookiehead Jenkins selecting some premium cuts of aural bliss. He digs deep so prepare to take notes. Hunger Pains will be giving out more dirty aloha than you can shaka at. Live, raw, Hawaii hip-hop doesn’t get much better than this. Fern will be painting live throughout the evening. This month’s fashion show features local designers SewCereal and Hiromi Tsuchiya, and the featured boutique is The Butik, with offerings from brands like Bailey 44, Ingwa, & Fighting Eel. Hair & makeup styling for the fashion show is provided by JPS Dressers, who continue to kill it every month, as does DJ Mr. Nick on the CDJs keeping the music funky during the fashion show. He’ll continue to spin his blend of funky house, downtempo and bossa until 2am.
wednesday. 6:08am. LOST set somewhere past kapolei.
torry: “christa, did you bring your camera?”
me: “oh YUP!!!!! it’s in my bag in the personal belongings trailer thing over there”
torry: “make sure you grab it for the next scene. you can’t get the set or the actors, but you can damn straight get the sexy cameramen”
me: “oh word!”
Look for me on episode i don’t know of LOST season 4. it will be a doozy.
gah! uploading these i’m like “ya ya ya picture picture picture MATT COSTA!!!! ya ya ya picture picture whatever.” I can’t help it. nothing beats that show. wait. exaggeration. but barely. the show ruled. so let me rush through everything else from last week so i can get to those. this is actually two weeks ago. mat tai bar for pau hana. who doesn’t love mai tai bar for pau hana? dirty sensor out of focus shot or not!
…i totally got photos. they are uploading now. it’s not from the big show. it’s from a littler show. where i also took video. not very good video. but hey! can you spot all the celebrity cameos!
or? you can pay to go in to bars that are normally free to go in to in chinatown. oh who am i kidding, i’ll be there too.
also tonight– planet bboy is screening at friends of film friday. benson is back in town. that film? if you haven’t seen it you better see it. it’s so good. so so good.
my weekend? oh! you know. the garden isle at it’s best. the best kauai designers (denise tjarks, machinemachine), the best kauai surfers (eddie, andy irons), the best kauai accomodations (tjarks, breakfast at the lolo hale), and the best parties (davey shindig and eskae at release, green drinks with organic tequila).
sorry. i got no advice for you this weekend. except… enjoy it?
sorry.
OH! i think there’s a showdown in chinatown saturday at next door. *google* yup! check it out. our LOST friends are back in production so expect to lose if you’re entering and they are too. say hi for me though! i’ll be on kauai with my hifi colleagues promoting eco friendly fashion. what!
so ya, i didn’t want to know about all the fun things i’ll be missing here in our lovely metropolis. like the cherry blossom cabaret at candy bar friday. the debut of f&m at rum fire saturday. damn! someone better take pictures!
Robot Tea Party Opening
April 11th, 4pm-7pm, Gallery Iolani, Windward Community College, 45-720 Kea’ahala Rd, Kaneohe
BE PART OF THE PROCESS, LEAVE YOUR MARK: AUDIENCE MAKES ART BY REMOTE CONTROL AT ROBOT TEA PARTY
At Gallery ‘Iolani’s new exhibition Robot Tea Party, it is the visitors who attend this special interactive installation who will be making the art.
For several months, the five members of the art collective AV Club of Honolulu have been modifying remote-control (RC) car systems, replacing the vehicles’ tires with crayon casts and fabricating a sound system based on the same RC technology. At Robot Tea Party, visitors get to control this device on a giant sheet of paper, leaving colorful track marks in its wake, for the performance piece “Title Track.” Visitors will be able to get involved for the duration of the exhibition.
