“Hawaii Five-0” has demonstrated itself to be a great showcase of both striking Hawaii locations and colorful guest stars, and tonight’s episode does not disappoint in either department.“Ho‘apono,” Episode 7, finds a Navy SEAL on the run, testing the loyalty of Det. Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin), a former SEAL himself. And Honolulu-born actress and former Miss Hawaii Kelly Hu will…
Sony is phasing out the cassette tape Walkman after 30 years. Clearly, some nostalgia is in order.
The last episode of ‘Hawaii Five-0’ gave female fans a full serving of hunky Det. Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin). Next week, the spotlight will turn to Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park). And yes, her wardrobe will include another bikini.The Five-0 task force will investigate the murder of a hugely successful surf company, relying on her pro-surfing background to infiltrate the North…
Whenever HIFF came around in the past, something always came up that prevented me from going. Conflicting work schedule, family responsibilities, it was always something. This year, I made a point to set aside time to experience the Hawaii International Film Festival in all its glory. Over the past week, if I had a free couple of hours, I was…
Yesterday was Lynda’s last day in the city, so we made sure she tried Tartine Bakery — one of my favorite San Francisco spots — before she left. It’s always better to hit this place on a weekday, so you don’t stand in a crazy line and fight people for seats.Since I’m here, I had to visit the good people…
It’s the 30th anniversary of the Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF) at Dole Cannery Theatres. Over 200 films were submitted, and I was able to watch five films over the weekend. The thing that I love about HIFF is that it showcases films that shed light on a variety of issues. It also features stories that have beautifully crafted story…
My classmate Deb Aoki and twitter friends Kendall and Alyce Lee had told me about Off The Grid, which bills itself as a “mobile food extravaganza.” Even with that description, Lynda and I both thought it was one fabulous food truck.Imagine our surprise when we showed up at Fort Mason (the Friday night location) last night to find more than…
After a week of doing double duty on Nonstop Honolulu, I joined the ranks of vacationing Catherine Toth, John Garcia, and Tracy Chan and left for San Francisco. As you might guess, doing all that plus trying to get ready for a trip left me severely sleep deprived, so I couldn’t post this blog last night due to extreme deliriousness….

It’s a few days removed from that awesome Daughtry concert last Friday, so it’s time I shared some of the video and photos that didn’t make it into Nonstop Honolulu’s official coverage. I had shot few videos from the concert, but as it turns out, I was too close to the stage. Although the press pit was the best place…

Some of the things we discussed were Micah learning how to put on stage makeup, how performers’ masks are made, turning athletes into Cirque acrobats and tattoos.

They had a press conference yesterday to give us a little taste of what we will see, with clowns dressed like elaborate — albeit old — birds, and a hand-balancing act.We also got…
With an onslaught of blog posts and mentions of last night’s premiere of the new “Hawaii Five-0”, you’re bound to find multiple reviews, story dissections and character breakdowns, which is cool, but I’m really no critic, so I’ll leave the reviewing up to Nonstop’s Cat Toth.As my buddy and fellow Hawaii blogger Andreas Arvman said, “How could you have a…
After last night’s official premiere of the new “Hawaii Five-0,” the town has been buzzing on whether they like the show or not. I think Catherine Toth sums it up in a nutshell very well.Me? I remember the old show, and I liked the simplicity of it. I liked that it was just a police story where bad guys were…
