DOWN time!

So Carlos is totally freaking me out. He is talking about all this blog stuff and archives and formats and I'm just thinking... are all these years and hours that I've invested going to be rolled into some lameo everyday wordblogspotpress plain jane blogroll yada yada that looks like every other blog in the world? No WAY! SUPERCW.COM is SPECIAL damn it. It's very personal and very heartfelt and even though when I look through all these archives I notice quite a bit of cheese, there is a sincere appreciation for everything I've been able to witness and lurk and distribute in this medium. It CAN'T be less than perfect.
*Sigh*
You know what? I trust him. His other sites are very simple and elegant and he himself pretty much rules. I guess being so fiercely independent and in control of what I do for so long is what's creating all this hesitance. In actuality? I'm hyped! I think?
No, I am. It's gonna rule.

So supercw.com will be down for the next 24-72 hours while the domain name is redirected. Be patient. Look at my old school blogs if you need a fix. For now...... it's all under construction.

You know something else... I mean, Amy for example. She is right there with me as far as seeing the new gen take over blog-and-age-wise. But, I'm freaking out because she has actually actually suggested that she may even stop blogging all together. This can't happen. Just because there are younger, more vibrant, more sleazy, more colorful, more talented, more intelligent, more whatever types creating their own domains doesn't mean that YOURS still isn't being tirelessly stalked for whatever personal reasons your readers have. Please just never stop. I vote yes to all the thirtysomething photo bloggers on the Interweb forever. Love, Christa.

OH! ps: don't think i don't have a bank of shots just waiting to be shown to you ver soon. including molly's crazycrazyfun80snight birthday party. SOON!

What's in YOUR...

...bag?

I don't know who's this was, I'm thinking Maria or Kalei since it was at our table at Black Tie & Blue Jeans on Saturday evening. Which was a very nice event, by the way. Those photos are uploaded and will be sorted through shortly.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Tell me about it. Time for a poll.

Dreary Weekend....

....on Oahu. Noticed a lot of people didn't do much. Myself included. DID manage a quick current-blockbuster-preview-sesh on Saturday. Here's the rundown:

Film: 1408
Time Spent Watching: about an hour
Verdict: VERY good. Filmed super nice, excellent script [I believe it's based on a Stephen King story?] and very good in terms of visuals and cast. We only left because it got too scary for me. I'm a wimp.

Film: Die Harder
Time Spent Watching: :15
Verdict: OK. I only left because we were watching from the front row and my neck started to hurt. It was at the part where the kid was like "I'm coming with you" so yes, very cliche, but funny, and Bruce Willis still looks damn good.

Film: Harry Potter
Time Spent Watching: :40
Verdict: Caught this AND the trailers. WHAT is with the blockbusters these days? They all looked not just lame but super lame. I feel for the masses. The previews were also not aligned with the audience, as they showed that Lindsay Lohan where she's insane and a stripper preview to 6 year olds. Nice job. Anyway, watched this one from the beginning to about :40 in... it was ok. I'm assuming it's very similar to the previous films. It was ok I guess. It's not my thing unfortunately. So we broke out. If you liked the other ones you'll probably like this one. That Hogwart school looks so fun tho. Serious. I wish they really had those.

Film: Transformers
Time Spent Watching: :05
Verdict: It's not a cartoon.... and it was awful. Caught it towards the end where the car monster was fighting/racing in what looked like the east LA river. Good for younger men I would imagine but it was NOT what I thought it would be. Bad bad bad.

Anyway, I have a weekly update for you as well. I just have to.... um... do it. Give me a minute. After work most likely. We'll see. Now that I 'officially' have a car that won't go it cuts down my fiddle-farting around town time.

Since you probably got used to seeing the highlights before the actual full-blogs I'll go ahead and start that. New tradition! *Sigh* it's nice to be able to do whatever I want.

Starting with last Tuesday. Der introduced supercrew to a new spot! It was hard to find at first.

Indie Rock Tuesdays... Ara has new hair!

If you're the one enjoying this gift bag, just know that it was mine. Thanks to Amy and Lia Sophia for giving it to me then getting me too martini'd to remember it, lol

Wine tasting at Du Vin with a taster that knows.

And finally-- don't think the rain stopped Art Spree from being the best Saturday ever.


Soon! Tonight even..... maybe :)

We found out what was making everyone crazy...

..duh, Summer Solstice!
Why NOT blame the axis of the earth and its witchy ways for some of the stuff that's been happening around here. What now since we all are wearing clothes and driving cars we can duke it out with 5.9736×1024 [to the 24th power] pounds of spinning mass? Ok. Cool.

I should elaborate but just tell me if you've noticed an energy as of late. Good or bad-- just a bit more energy that you've experienced since December. The Winter energy is probably masked by the whirlwind of goodbad during the holidays and such. I'll tell you it was a conversation last night that many people jumped in on and agreed with immediately. Speaking of last night I am already done with the shots and they will be up today. Kalima was there too so don't worry if you couldn't make it down. If you WERE there tho... how was that ROOM! There was a lot of excitement and positive energy in there for sure. Shit man. I'll go ahead and say it was one of the better nights I've ever seen in that space.... and that's why I'm gonna work overtime to show you. Um. Later.

PS: I was born on the Winter Solstice. Does that have anything to do with anything?

HAPPY FRIDAY FRIEND!
What doing tonight? I'm getting back to my original fetish which includes a particular DJ from Japan on island right now. Straight from Rappongi the smooth groovy DJ Nori. Hello....

Also have some drinks waiting upstairs at Mad Dog Saloon. Ya, Mad Dog the owner of the former Doghouse. Ya the Mad Dog saloon across from the old Deja Vu. Have you SEEN that place since they opened? Woah.

Helloooo Summer!

...oh who are we kidding. Summer is SO here. I mean, come on. All the college hotties are home. The pool parties at the Sheraton are in full swing. There was hell-a people at the sandbar. I'm tan. It's like 80 degrees out at 11am. SUMMER.

So listen I'm working SUPER hard on getting these two photo blog updates done. iJustine is now livestreaming on justin.tv tho so it's crazy hard to stay focused today. By the end of the day tho. Promise!

Ok I'm better now... HEY! Memorial Day!

...some time in the sun, homey-path-ick meds and hot-and-sour soup was all I needed. Thanks, friends.

NOTHING will keep me in tonight. I've spent too much time here and I'm crawling the walls. The pool party was my pupu to tonight's Planet of the Drums at Lotusmynewfavoriteclub. We are *almost* calling Lotus the "new wave" by the way. Just saying:

Tomorrow at 10am sharp I'm catching a boat out to the sandbar. Where we are TOTALLY not allowed to "party" anymore after the craziness in '05. Remember?! If not I linked those photos below. Oh, sandbar. How we love you...



HERE you can relive the moments if for some reason you're not coming tomorrow. Or just because. It was definitely something we all treasured tho... we knew it wouldn't last. Here they are.

PS: I can not get my shots to upload. My cable connection is acting strange and sporadic and even though I spent years and years fixing shit like this I can't figure out what's up. Pics may be dfelayed til June 1st. Sorry :(

Tempo Valley and Paula Fuga...

...are offering their amazing talents tonight for Lacy's Teach One fund raiser. Although it's not mentioned in any of the press releases, she really needs people to donate children's slippers as well as school supplies. Come down at 7pm tonight with any sort of supplies for the children of Kamaile Elementary and pay a modest $5 to share pupus and talk story.

OH! and stop the presses! Anton Glamb is back on island!! I totally had a sighting last night. After a 'sort of' graduation from Columbia he is here to save all of us from music monotony and will be opening for Mickey Avalon next Wednesday at O Lounge. He is also rumored to have another show at Indigo's. I will most definitely keep you posted on THAT.


Last note? Flash, Molly and Payne? You guys were sooooo vodka'd last night! Haw haw. Thanks for the bottle, Lacy. It was a damn good time.

Car for Bike. Anyone?

So anyone who wants to trade... I have a 2000 hybrid honda with an expired safety check/registration and a 64x2 dual processor pc that I'll hand over for a BIKE and a MAC. Please e-mail me.

Tuesdays are special here. You already know this I think. At the risk of repeating myself every Tuesday about Thirtyninehotel and Next Door I'll touch on something different.... Honolulu Magazine's Photo Contest.

It's the 3rd one and the entries are getting more and more pro but YOU DO have a shot! The prize? Oh. Publication in their magazine and cash UP TO $500. Not the greatest incentive for pros but it would certainly look nice on a beginner's rez.

Full rules and info here.

If you're looking for Tuesday event info check dosomethingtonight they have it on lock for now. AND if you're looking for scoops on last night's bowling adventures check kalima. Mine will be around someday. *yawn*
