Dirty Hands – second screening at the HIFF. Yes, I got to intro the film. It’s now the third time I’ve done this for the film, and each time, I try and do it different. I try and tell a story, or what the film means to me (which keeps changing), and so on. It’s hard to capture the millions of things I think about the film. It all races through my head, and whatever comes out in the 1 minute I’m talking is the best I can do. Pretty cool to have the name of the film in simple digital lights at a theater. David signs shirts after the screening and the Q and A. The Question and Answer sessions are funny. They’re brutally honest and most of the time, it’s like listening to two old friends talk. If you’re in, you’ll understand it better, but people start laughing anyway. Desiring God. David reads no books. So we’ll see what happens. Maybe he’ll get something from it. Merch sales. People dig the shirts, the pillow is another story. They sell slower, but they are really cool. The image on the pillow is “stacks” which is a design Dave did, that fits the film perfectly. It means a lot if you see the film. The pillow is surprisingly a perfect commemorative item. I like the fact that Harry is also drawing and signing autographs. Yes, he’s part of the game.

Had to show you what my early mornings at 7am look like. Saw a sea hare. Maybe 1 foot long cruising along. This is the way to start your day before interviews, and stuff like that. If I could do this all the time, I'd never lose.

If I could do this all the time, I’d never lose. If you don’t hit the beach in the morning… hit the ramen. Yotteko Ya – This is a great spot for ramen. Part of a chain of 100 of these in Japan, this is another one of those ramen places that people have to check out. Tracy That’s what it looks like with the extra pork. It’ll bring your heart rate way up. Soup broth will do the same. Gyoza. Jeff Gaskell Yotteko Ya 1960 Kapiolani Blvd #214 Honolulu, HI 96826

Whoa, that's Richard Chou. Imagine, somewhere around 8-10 years ago, I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Yes, me. Hard to believe, right? It was early in the UFC thing, and I wanted to learn about how everything related to submissions, joint manipulations, etc, worked. How does it? I went to Rickson Gracie Jiu Jitsu and it was crowded. Rickson was a star then. So I moved to 7am classes. Yes, I woke up and...

Rickson was a star then. So I moved to 7am classes. Yes, I woke up and went to class that early. There, I met Richard Chou. Imagine, this is a kid on a volleyball scholarship to Pepperdine. He was from Guam and 6 foot 4 or something. A monster. In the photo above, he’s ducking. I asked him to not make me look tiny. He’s no working with Elite XC, he had a pro fight, and is now on the promoting end. He shouted my name and I saw him, and got scared. Who’s this big dude? Richard! I haven’t seen him since class. He’s also working with BJ Penn and doing well.
