Studio pics!

Howzit everybody!  It’s another gorgeous but windy Wednesday here in Hawai’i-nei and I hope all of you are doing fine!  We had another productive recording session last night, and I have to say that this new CD will be pretty awesome!  Studio work is quite demanding and time consuming, especially since you have to be …

Blustery Tuesday

Good morning!  It’s still real cold here in Manoa and the tradewinds are gusting through the valley.  We have a meeting this morning for our new CD with our co-producer Herb Ohta Jr. who’s finally home for a while after being on the road for the last few months.  We hope to finalize our song …

Here we go again!

Well, vacation’s over … time to go back to work!  We go back into the studio this week to continue work on our new CD which we hope to have ready by the time we leave for Japan at the end of April.  We also have to start preparing for our Golden Week tour which …

Sunday, Mar. 7th

The strong winds are finally subsiding a bit, but there’s still a bit of rain in the valley.  I slept in late this morning, which is unusual for me since I’m an early riser … must’ve been all that iced tea that I drank after we were done at KKPG last night!  It was another …

It’s the weekend!

Saturday .. my favorite day of the week although Golf Thursdays is a close second!  I like Saturdays because it’s the start of the weekend and the mornings are so laid back … except when our puppies go nuts on us!  I think I’m going to play some squash this morning to work off some …

It’s Aloha Friday!

Hey .. wassup peeps!  It’s Friday evening and my day was filled with meetings for our IOLANI store which we’re building in our factory here on Kona St.  We’re targeting a June 1st grand opening, so if any of you are in the Ala Moana area at that time, come on by.  I didn’t get …

Golf day!

Yup … it’s THURSDAY!  And Thursday means it’s time for golf!  I know a lot of you are wondering, what’s so great about hitting a small, white ball around a field for 4+ hours.  Good question … however, I like to think of it as spending an afternoon with a great group of guys, getting …

Imanas Tei

Good evening!  I just got home after spending a few hours with Reiko and her gang from Studio Rim radio at Imanas Tei, one of my favorite izakaya restaurants here in Honolulu!  We had hamachi nigiri, natto maki, katsu, soft-shelled crab karaage, and gobo tempura … interesting!  Of course, we washed it all down with …

Tuesday, March 2nd

It looks like the strong tradewinds are going to be around for a while.  Every time the winds start blowing I start sneezing a lot – must be all the pollen and stuff in the air!  Anyway, it’s another slow day so I’m hanging around at home listening to some of the tracks from the …

Windy night!

Good morning, peeps!  I can’t believe how strong the winds were last night – there was stuff crashing down all night and I’m almost afraid to go outside to see what happened!  And not only was the wind going nuts, but it was REALLY cold too … must’ve been the northerly trades since there was …
