So for your sanity (and mine), I have broken down the Chicago trip into three parts. Today, is part two!

After a great night of Brazilian steak, it was time to test my nerves and head up to the Skydeck and “The Ledge” at the Willis Tower. Known previously as the Sears tower, the Willis Tower is now home to an attraction called, “The Ledge,” which is basically a glass box hanging off the side of the building. Glass walls, glass ceiling, and glass floor. It was pretty awesome!



After defying death and seeing a 360 degree view of Chicago, it was time to pay homage to one of my great childhood heroes, Michael Jordan.


Home to the most complete T-Rex fossil in the world, the Field Museum was pretty cool. This is Sue, the T-Rex, and it is pretty incredible. Walking up and looking straight into the eyes of a T-Rex would be terrifying. I’ve seen Jurassic Park, but until you see the size of these animals in person, you have no idea.


One of the highlights of all highlights for my trip was an adventure to Wrigley field. Now, alone, visiting the Cubs at Wrigley was on my “bucket list” of things to do before I die. However, this was more magical because I got to see the Cubs play my favorite team, the Braves! And they won! Plus, I got to drink Chicago’s Old Style Lager and eat a Chicago Hot Dog!!! What a great day!


That’s all for today folks, part one of my Chicago adventure. If you want to see all the pictures from my trip to Chicago, friend me on Facebook. Stay tuned as I will update the rest of the trip later. Hope you enjoyed it, and see you in Chicago!

How do I even pack for a month-long trip?!

I have so much to do before I can say “Aloha” to the islands and “Aloha” to Japan, but it should be very fun last week leading up!

I hope to see a lot of you in Japan!

Hope to see all of you natives up there as we will have an extended concert celebrating the sister city relationship between Honolulu and Hiroshima!

Last weekend was bad because the Hawai’i Warrior football team lost an embarrassing game to nationally-ranked Boise St. There is little to say about the loss, and I think I am so devastated that I don’t wanna be seen on camera in a vlog right now.

So, as I lick my wounds and heal up, I will hopefully have something for you guys later this week. Stay tuned!

For those that weren’t there, here’s what you missed:

We performed for Nittele TV’s 55th Anniversary show, which wasn’t really a show as it was a festival. This stage was sweet! Sandwiched between the giant Nittele TV building and the Shiseido (makeup) building, they had booths, demonstrations, live shows, music, and of course THIS GUY:

He was the MC for the whole entire show and the hardest working man there. He did everything from MC the shows, to sing the festival theme song, to broadcast live on the radio! He’s my hero.

Anyway, we enjoyed four short shows over two days and were featured twice on Nittele TV’s weather report. Thanks Tokyo! We’ll be back soon!
