twitter mania

I feel like I’ve been surrounded by Twitter folks in the past few days.  So many of my colleagues are joining the Twitter family and I’m getting excited.  It’s almost like a disease…it keeps spreading to reach out to more and more PR folks in Hawaii.
When you have time, follow me and some of these [...]

items of the week - july 13

My “items of the week” postings have been on hiatus for a while now.  I figured it’s a good time to bring it back.  Most of my previous “items of the week” have actually turned into regular postings for me (i.e. February 26, March 3)

Since the new season of No Reservations premiered last week, I [...]

As you’re driving on School Street (heading west), it’ll be on your right after you pass the Liliha Street intersection. It’s easy [...]

inside dish on bourdain

People have been asking what Bourdain is like when I met him in Hawaii.  Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to meet him for the first time, not knowing what he would say or do.  After watching all his episodes, he does speak his mind and smokes and drinks a lot.  Imagine him saying, “who [...]

the infamous tiki drink

One of the myths that Bourdain explores is that Hawaii is all about the tiki drinks…colorful, sweet, and fu fu alcoholic drinks. Honestly, it’s hard to find someone holding one unless you’re at a beach resort in Hawaii. He [...]
