Don’t look at me for anything fun to report to you this week. I had to move, and it was the worst weekend ever to do it. I mean really, the day after Halloween? Halloween in Honolulu, even? Horrid. What’s cool is the place I moved in to belongs to Meghan Mayhem,… [»Read]
This really is the best time of year for grown-ups. We get to dress crazy and act crazy and nobody can say anything because it’s Halloween. This is our chance to be whoever we want and roam the streets laughing and bonding with like-minded strangers that may have the same… [»Read]
It’s funny how I first met and talked to criminal attorney David Hayakawa. I was in a bit of a pickle, and he happily spent hours on the phone with me helping me prepare a statement, pro bono. I have him to thank for me never going to prison. Well, him and the fact… [»Read]
[www.thirtyninehotel.com] So, my hair is still in a post-party sweat-dreadlock from Saturday night. I tried to comb it out but woke up late for work and just shoved it in a bun. God, I hope it comes out. If not, at least I lost my mane to a good cause. Friggin’… [»Read]
I really commend anyone who can get up in front of a crowd here and do stuff. Even if you’ve got amazing talent it’s still got to be nerve-wracking. I’ve been in audiences where the crowd doesn’t exactly have the best response, and it’s pretty uncomfortable for… [»Read]
“Oooh this is gonna look so good on the Internet!”Whenever I catch myself saying that too much, I tend to withdraw. I’ll go experience more things that you can really only hear, do more things that only make sense to me, bury more free time in work (and my phone in… [»Read]
Is it possible to make an entire band your boyfriend? Wait, I already know the answer to this: I’ve been dating The Deadbeats for over a year now. We’re not exclusive, duh, but it’s been an amazing journey with them. It started a long while back when I saw front-man… [»Read]
Here’s what sucks about being Caucasian: I can’t fool anyone. Spending my twenties working super hard, worshipping the sun, staying out all night and pretty much having the best life ever has given way to a very sad realization in my thirties: I can dress like I’m… [»Read]
Who just don’t have time for music. They don’t have time to explore all sorts of artists and listen to entire albums then find similar artists and even more artists and just have this giant library of music with every song memorized and know where every band is from… [»Read]
I just slept for 17 hours. It was amazing. You might not believe me, but I haven’t gone that huge on a weekend in a while. It’s usually a few hellos in Chinatown, maybe a special event here or there, and possibly a fancy night at Pearl or somewhere. Never all in the… [»Read]
Really, like really looking forward to a concert is not something I’ve done too often this year. There’ve been some amazing shows so far but…eeeh. I hate to say it, but I’ve been up to my ears with work and not as able to pay attention. The shows that did blow my… [»Read]
I remember the first time I ever wore heels in Honolulu. My model/actress friend got a VIP invite to Piranha Room and took me as her plus one. “You HAVE to look classy,” she told me and I proceeded to have a little freak out. Before that, pitchers at what was then Magoo’s… [»Read]
I’m going to tell you about something but you have to promise to keep it between us, OK? I think it might be illegal–or was, anyway, circa 1920. I’m talking about cocktails. Real cocktails with essence of stuff that’s like quadruple strained after being set on fire… [»Read]
So, can I just say that you don’t always need the bells and whistles to lure us to your spot, especially if you’ve been known to have barbecues with The Cobrasnake and Steve Aoki and like to project fixed-gear videos like Macafarma on the building… [»Read]
It’s hard to excitedly explain something that sounds so weird to say. But I definitely kept trying all week. Pecha Kucha! Pecha Kucha! “What?” PECHA KUCHA! “OK….” What can I say? The event is amazing. There’s been like five of them in Honolulu… [»Read]
