Matix Headphones

i just received my new matix headphone sample, called "domepiece". they're pretty sick! i have 3 skullcandy phones: skullcrusher, hesh and low rider. the domepiece blows all of these away, suggested retail is around $80 and will land in stores on october 1st. just in time for the holidays. it has excellent bass with crystal clear sound quality. they're very light weight with gold plated tips and easy adjustablility. you can adjust quickly without taking it off your head. and best of all, they look great! check the pics.

Hawaii Ocean Expo 2009

this weekend my friends and i did a sample sale at the first annual Hawaii Ocean Expo at the Blaisdell center arena. the event was a real success! it was put on by our friends at VJ entertainment. the intention of the expo was to showcase anything to do with the ocean in hawaii. there was fishing companies, artists, surfboard makers, boats, standup paddleboards, housewares, outdoor equipment, etc, etc. there was also a huge section for the kids. next year it's going to be bigger and better for sure. attached is a pic of the "surfer's closet" sample sale area and another pic of some of the booths. if you missed it, don't forget to go next year.

VonZipper just announced the 4-15-09 launch of it's premium Lucre Collection

Created through the dreams of acclaimed, designer, philanthropist, Otto VonZipper, the origins of this exclusive, handmade eyewear collection have been the subject of rumor and legend second only to the musings surrounding the mysterious whereabouts of the renowned recluse and the source of his seemingly endless supply of funds. The masterpieces found in the Lucre Collection are the culmination of one man's desire to challenge the direction of eyewear. There is speculation regarding VonZipper's meteoric rise back through the ranks of the rich and famous. Where does he get his money? Is it the familial trust VonZipper claims or the dirty Lucre of unknown and unnamed sources? We may never know.

Jumbo Karakuchi Art Show

Basil Sakamoto, aka Jumbo Karakuchi, held his art show tagged "Different Star" last night at the Blue Hawaii Kalihi Gallery. Presented by Blue Hawaii Surf and gurutoy.com. The event became extremely crowded with general manager of Blue Hawaii Rod Chmolack claiming it as the best turn out yet for an art show held there. A lot of pieces were sold that night as everyone got a glimse of an artist who's inspirations are the dark, underworld, combative and the end of the world type images. But, for the first time, we got to see a lighter side of Jumbo, with the introduction of his "apple" pieces. Also displayed was his collection of GI Joe figurines and some of his quilt work. Overall a great showing from an artist known to keep to himself. We're sure to see more of Jumbo in the near future. click here to see a slideshow of the event.
