Was just in Hawaii last week for the Hawaii International Film Festival. The Heavenly Kings made it’s second to last festival and we were able to bring the whole crew minus Terence out. It was a great time. We also got to hook up with the Finishing the Game posse. Justin Lin, Roger Fan and Dustin Nguyen. It’s such a funny film. If you haven’t seen it, you gotta go check it out!!! That’s Roger, Andrew, Conroy, Me, Patrick Lee of alivenotdead.com and the legendary Dustin Nguyen. Inside the JAL lounge in HK. What’s with these single seats? Looks like these dudes are sitting on a bus or something. I went scuba diving with the Alive Not Dead crew and made the big mistake of having a Whopper for breakfast. After the first dive I started to feel a bit queezy and when we got to the second spot I ran to the back of the boat to spew. As soon as it hit the water, hundreds of trigger fish came to the surface and ate it all up!! Pretty neat and gross at the same time. Who knew trigger fish liked Whoppers?This is the weirdest design I’ve ever seen. A Hawaiian lamp with a data port in the base? Weird specially because the data cable coming out of the wall was actually closer than this over designed port. These will end up at Goodwill a few years from now. This is happening everywhere around the world. We must put a stop to it! Please help save innocent bugs like these from needless death! And now I’m in Tokyo for the next three months. Looking forward to spending some time here.

The opening was huge, imagine an art show with thousands of people. Sitting, standing, talking, dancing around, waiting to be seen, and a few who actually really looked at art. The line of the night, "I'll come back and see the art when there's no one around." A lot of people are scheming to try and talk to Takashi, whispering stuff, trying to find a way to get "in" with him. What will he really...
The opening was huge, imagine an art show with thousands of people. Sitting, standing, talking, dancing around, waiting to be seen, and a few who actually really looked at art. The line of the night, “I’ll come back and see the art when there’s no one around.” A lot of people are scheming to try and talk to Takashi, whispering stuff, trying to find a way to get “in” with him. What will he really do? Hand you a bag full of money? It was nice to hear the sounds of DJ Krush for a minute, especially when I heard some of the old Mowax music. Takashi came to town and rocked it, and I guess I’ll see him tomorrow too. How often are art shows like this? I can remember them on one hand. Helter Skelter, Superflat, Ecstasy, and now Murakami. What can someone do to top this? And which one will have the commercial aspects as this? MOCA just defeated a lot of countries GNP tonight. I saw tons and tons of people holding the big brown LV bags. While we were leaving, he was coming in pretty incognito, that’s when I got to catch up a bit. Mr. is amazing. He didn’t flick me off this time.

This is rare. Not a lot of them around. It's clear, and the light travels through it nicely. That little hat is cute. Supposedly there's a clear smoke one as well, and who knows what other weird colors there are. Mine was clear. I hear sometimes, there's often not even one of these in a case. The weird thing is the top eye ball looks like it's more clear than the other two, but they're all clear....

The weird thing is the top eye ball looks like it’s more clear than the other two, but they’re all clear. Small figures are the best. They keep going, and these are great. “What did I do?”
