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.

…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.

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.

mgmtif 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.

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.

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!

[nostalgia] the first time i saw GroundUP…

May 10th, 2009 · No Comments

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!

trooper

that’s right. i’m updating this. daily.

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.

so there.

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
