i mean. this weekend is already going to be nutso. my advice for three day weekends that are packed with craziness (first friday, VJ’s launching a new friday, nicky savage, acid dolls, OUR POOL PARTY) just take one thing at a time, man. do NOT miss the mariott waikiki beach resort & spa waikiki terrace pool on sunday though. please. please please. it’s FREE. just come. JULES GAYTON from stussy/leilow is going to play music. and of course the nocturnal sound krew. also, a blog coming soon. love you, cw
sorry about that. technical difficulties. and when i say technical i mean there’s no quick easy way for me to upload these and write about them. there never has been. i just had more time before. nothing has really slowed down, there’s still so many faces to love in our scene. like these ones: [Read more →]
also happy one year to apartmnt3 saturday night - they made it through the toughest first year ever. now they are a favorite hang out of all the big deal hollywood types that are in town to make movies and stuff. you deserve it guys. you kick so much ass. see you tomorrow.
also if you’re coming here looking for my pics i got lazy and put the last few on my facebook. i’ll get back to this soon though. i can’t not.
welp. party of the summer as far as i’m concerned. recaps are a-plenty, with hawaiian ryan obviously being my favorite. cause he brought a BAND to play in the POOL.
next one is sunday sep 5th. you got 8 weeks to lose all that junk, but please keep it in your trunk.
i haven’t stopped listening to this summer mixtape from fiero since they sent it to me. two months ago. i am so ready for this. so so so ready. except for the 20lbs i kind of want to shed. oh well. have a listen. and SEE YOU SATURDAY!
i am SO PROUD of chuck. damn it. i only recently learned how difficult it is to envision any kind of creative project then actually bring it to life. dude. it’s hard. this man had about 6 years of it swirling around in his head then the better part of last summer to write and direct his film One Kine Day. then he showed it to all the cast and crew. and me. [Read more →]
the show runs in the cafe for the entire month of june. please come. i will never be able to make you understand how hard it was to plop the past 5 years in photos in front of your face so you could re-live what i lived all at once. *like that*
so i’m in chinatown (duh) last saturday for the film competition and the first thing i see is this.
duuude, check this out – wtfhawaii entered a film in showdown in chinatown and they made a MOVIE POSTER for it.
since it’s been since like 200FOREVER AGO since I’ve done a weekend pick entry i’ll just get right in to it. don’t expect these on the regular until i can work out that whole space time continuim thing.
TONIGHT
In4mation (hot hot arty t-shirt wearin dudes) is showing the LRG video (hot hot arty t-shirt wearing skaters) at KA (hot hot azn dudes). A gift from heaven? Possibly. What else I like? It’s Free.
Asylum, the most forward thinking electronic music club in Honolulu (that you can’t get in to) is taking their show on the road (so we can all get in) at Nextdoor. They’re gonna have smoke machines, live video projection arty stuff and some DJ from the mainland with his own record label playing house music. If you’re like me you won’t understand it at all, you’ll just be standing there in the club wondering how the hell everything came together to make such an awesome experience. Don’t question it, just enjoy.
SATURDAY
Showdown in Chinatown, and the doors open at 8pm. I don’t want to say much more cause I want a good SEAT. Just be there.
Shake & Pop. The most fun party on a Saturday night that I’ve been to in a minute. Since that Soul Clap that none of us can barely remember actually. Chris Kam plays records. thirtyninehotel. $5 to get in. It’s worth it. If you really can’t pay $5 I’ll hook you up, get at me.
aw man this size thing might be starting to get to me. maybe. not enough for me to really sit down and dive in to it though. so i’ll continue sizing down the first image then leaving the rest. hey guys! look! it’s the UH Fashion show… [Read more →]
well i’ll tell you that my life has been completely turned upside down (in a good way) since an encounter i had with someone (really) famous back in january. she then looked to me to help her pull off an event that has definitely gone down in history as the most amazing, heartfelt, and elaborate thing any cast member of ANY production has EVER done for their crew. it was an honor to work with her and to be a part of it and it also meant getting to be on the east side of oahu more than i usually am. this side is seriously the most beautiful place ever:
…how good this event is going to be. prepare to drop some major cash at the door (it’s a private establishment that’s actually letting non members in for this) and prepare to have your brain explode
what else… oh, me? well! i actually raised enough money to get another s90 after only having mine for, oh, 8 days before losing it. i’m sourcing handcuff camera straps right now. maui was amaze, photos coming soon, right now i’m pulling together the most amazing thing i will probably ever do in my lifetime ever ever. one day i may tell you about it.
xoxo
WHAT is this you ask? oh i’ll tell you. it’s my new canon s90. a.k.a. my husband. no, i have absolutely no idea what i’m doing with it yet, all these manual settings for f-stop, aperture, flash density, p and s orbitals and such has got me quite smitten. i’ll figure it out soon. bear with me (like you always have…)
hello, honolulu. man, i missed you. you would think i was gone for a month. don’t think i was kidding when i was already homesick after like 40 minutes of being in hong kong. i mean, sure i loved the place (nothing beats that crew that i was rolling with out there. SUPREME status.) just… nothing beats a first friday in chinatown. especially now that next door is back in action on the real. this was first friday – jeannie randall’s amazing (subtle) sex show:
so anyway. back to china. it’s the second day of the two-day art event POW WOW and the second part of WOW at garageworks just down the road from above-second. they already have the blank canvas up in the window for the live art part. i’m pretty excited at this point….
woah look at that maybe i should clean my lens filter thing. either that or there were some evil black orbs that didn’t want me to leave honolulu last week. “don’t leave don’t leave aaaaaa”….
i’m still in hong kong. for the most amazing 3-part 2-day art ‘thing‘ i’ve ever seen. it’s over now. but i don’t come home until monday. this place, this event………… [speechless]
haha, i got so many messages and things about my valentine’s day column in the weekly. i guess a lot of people get annoyed with that holiday too (or just like that i used the word “bone”).
the truth is i really never cared one way or the other about the holiday. wait, that’s not true. when i was in love, it was rad. now that i am not, it’s just kind of stupid and trivial. not like i hate love or anything. actually, i love love. and a few weeks ago, i was even lurking love…. (and a martini)
oh look! it’s chef vikram again. hi buddy.
ps: this is me lurking the food at the LOST cast, crew and producer press mixer that i was invited to about an hour before it started last week in the orchid suite at the heavenly-halekulani. the photo is only of the chefs/food because we weren’t supposed to have cameras, and i didn’t want to piss anyone off. the photo is really nice because torry raced home during filming to grab his $3298478293743 dollar 5D complete with lenses, flashes, and weird accessories for me to use because mine has been flashing with weird errors lately. [Read more →]
so i’m on my way to the camera store right after i type this one out. what am i going to get? three guesses. it starts with a “G9″ and ends with a “lesson on how to focus and shoot photos”. this is the media frenzie that was the BLT Steakhouse grand opening last Monday, by the way. lots of food lots of people lots of woaaah. [Read more →]
well happy new year. i kinda was in a swirly-wow after my birthday party and wanted to leave that video up for a while, but here. this is what’s been happening in my world the past few weeks of two oh one oh: i been up to my ears in cuisine and cocktails. eating stuff like shortribs bourgignon braised in burgandy wine with celery root puree, upcountry vegetables and chimichurri sauce and drinking as many grey goose bloody marys and vodka/lemonades as i can.
that’s work.
and that’s pretty awesome.
i know dan weaver said that the bigger pics are better, but i still not sure how to keep this from overlapping over there —->
wordpress dunce.
anyway. it’s BRAXTON! homey was back in town. along with a lot of you. for christamasssss. it made for some highly entertaining evenings out letmetellyou.
Yes I’m almost a month behind on my blog. It’s mainly because I’ve been pawing through the past year to find all of my favorite, most memorable moments from 2009. You can’t have the archive-obsessed Christa NOT do a ‘Best Of’ entry, I mean come onnnn. 2009 is finally over and now we get to go into the double-digit tens place. We are sooo future right now. I’m excited for what’s to come, but of course we gotta look back just a little: [Read more →]
