After a rough morning from Tropicing late last night sometimes I think it’s hard to make a great weekend. Then the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile rolls through the parking lot. Word. In Hawai`i for one more week. You know you wanna take a pic with it (I did but gotta hide the identity of the others in the pic with me. Jacked this from the flickr group) You know in December somebody gonna send you a Christmas card with their weinermobile pic. And I love my new whistle and stickers! I saw it!

Well Friday I found myself wanting to watch some fireworks at Aloha Tower (shuttup Benny and Humdrum!) and thought “I’ll beat the crowd and park chinatown and walk”. Only to realize that it was First Friday. Was a buzzkill at first but thought “maybe it’ll help me kill time before the 8:45 show in the sky”. It did. Finally found street parking after 4 attempts to find a cheap parking lot (who would think $10 for evening parking was a deal? one place charged $12.) i finally started the night. First Friday has somewhat never excited me. I used to work for the Honolulu Weekly when they started First Fridays and had to drop off balloons to all the venues walking from the old APB all over downtown. Back then nobody really rocked it. After it started to take off every now and then a homie might have an art show at Studio 1 or whereevers. That made it a little better. But after a while it seems to be all the “hippies/yuppies” trying to be all artsy and cultured took over and the vibe was never dope. So i never returned.
My first stop of the night was to see Soho. The place looks dope as it used to be the old Pauahi’s. That place was ghetto and a micronesian bar. Seen Josh Martinez and Black Empty perform there as Pauahi. Soho is way doper. But the music wasn’t that dope when i went and didn’t see any art. Rock Shop was set up but nobody shopping. Maybe im too early or just wasn’t poppin.
Next spot. NEXT DOOR. Finally got to see the 2059 exhibit from Honozooloo/Airspace Workshop http://www.twothousandfiftynine.com/ i gotta get this QR code to work now. Good to see Next Door open and they surely had the buzz of the night with the upcoming DIPLO show on July 31! HOLLERTRONIX! Good to see TED! But why is Jamal on the Big Island???? Later met up with Mc5B and his homie Oliver to check out Ara and the alternative/indie kids at the Loft. Was cool. The drummer played his kick drum on a keyboard stand with a drumstick. Cool. The bass player had serato for his bass(maybe?). Bounced to get a spot to watch the fireworks. Was cool. But some of the stuff that were popping was the same stuff i pick up for New Years. eh? After the show went back to Chinatown and ran into DJ 45 Revolver leaving Indigos and struggling to pull creates through the throngs of thongs(hows my rhymes!) and hotties. Around the corner in the park was a Capoiera cypher and a weird drum circle on the other corner of the block.
Got hungry so I went to look for Otto Cake. Found the spot but was sold out. Gotta go back. Congrats Otto. Whattup Josh. Later found Ghesoul, Shannon, and Omega 6 errrr MC Enemy. Enemy had a drum and bass gig at Mercury. Finally was gonna see him do is autobot dont wanna stop beebopashoowop but to no luck cus DJ Kause came and dug out leaving O6 djless. What he gonna rhyme over if he got no beats? Also ran into Lucky of Soul Signature Tattoo fame. He showed us his homeboy’s soon to be dope bar across the street from Next Door. Super sick location. Well the crew headed to Lotus for the Shingo2 show. I headed home. For me was a dope night. BUT WAS DOPE BECAUSE OF MY HOMIES! Not the events or the art. First Fridays is just a huge singles bar with a splash of crackheads and homeless and a hint of cultured hipsters. When there’s a dope show i’ll be back for sure. Maybe i just miss the grimmy chinatown.
Well I dunno what kinda video player they use so i had to use a toy brief video from youtube but for the past two months i’ve been finding myself trying to backtrack and watchin entire catalogs of video blogs like Maestro Knows(seen them all in an hour, fool got a NikeID card…BASTARD!) and what nots. But one of my favorite ones has been Toy Break. Ayleen and George (and sometimes Matt) break down the latest toy releases and blind boxes and what nots. They don’t always have the greatest toys to review but they got funny commentary and help pass the time while you wait for the other members of your school learning team to finish the homework you already did (Don’t sleep on homework…that’s where the A’s are! Not finals! A’s in homework plus F in finals equals C. You do better on finals you get better grades. Don’t take final and STILL GET A C! WORD! Just like bowling-games won with spares not strikes!) Anywho check out the real videos(they kinda long) at Toy Break
Well Saturday I woke up too late for dawn patrol (I don’t wanna surf or bodyboard with 100 people in the lineup. I WILL RIDE OVER YOU! You think i can turn and dodge you begginers….I can….but sometimes it’s fun to go strait!). And with a few hours to kill in the morning my o lady said “why you no go check out the book sale”. Good suggestion indeed. With my vast skills in digging in unwelcoming circumstances to reveal treasures at events like record sales, garage sales, swap meets, the bargain video bin at wal mart, the entire store at Jelly’s, I knew i was bound to get at least ONE jem or something to read. A good book i did not find. A good comic book, yes they delivered. Picked up a few comics i used to read and restarted my collection of PITT and also able to pick up copies of Pineapple Man (local comic book that i used to read when i bought comics from JJ’s in Kaneohe….no stay no more). I also noticed somebody donated their entire comic book collection and about a hundred copies of Jim Lee’s WildC.A.T.S. number 1. i bought some copies. And luckily I happened to go on half price day. Bonus. Glad there’s no record sale this year cus last years one sucked under the tent(i can’t wait!). The guy on the mic at the booksale said they made $13,000 more than last year. Good. Too bad i don’t use the library. I’m Hawaiian Chinese Haole mixed plate! See you there next year. don’t sleep!
check their website!(hey Jorge!)

And if you dunno who Pitt is, here ya go.
Congrats to former UH V-Ball player Raeceen Woolford.
