About Me

It's time to start pushing another project of mine www.MusicMatchBox.net . Sign up under the login link. If we all participate, this site will be the "nuts and bolts" of Hawaii's music scene. A resource that lists everyone and every place important to Hawaii's music scene. The site still needs some work and there will be lots of additions that will be helpful to all of us!! This site was built by my brother at Trails Web . Thanks Josh!
New tool for bands, venues, and businesses that provide services to the music scene - MUSICMATCHBOX.net
Like a yellow pages of Hawaii's music scene. We also have an online store for YOU to sell YOUR merch or events tickets. Give me a shout if you're interested in putting your merch up for sale.
*****ADD THE 808 SCENE ZINE MYSPACE PAGE!*****
Demand TRX TV on OC 15 (OC 16 On Demand). Support TRXtv and support local music!
I'm also a photographer, videographer, and astronomer. I've got a masters in astronomy from UH, but I'm just "staff" right now. I left the PhD program to pursue photography, videography, and music promotion, but I never quite left the astronomy department.
You can see some of my photography at www.KTIndiana.com . I haven't updated it in a long time. Most of my photography of late has been of you local bands. I'm chugging away at putting all my band pics on www.TheMontageMag.com .
I will be working on 2 films this year in some capacity - primarily from the cameraperson/photographer angle. One film is the baby of JHM Productions and the other two are written and directed by Lou Tomsic ( www.HanaRelay.net ).
Connecticut and New York aren't so bad. :)
Yes, we camped out from 3:30am in front of the NEX for a Nintendo Wii. It was pretty fun and worth it when, SIX HOURS LATER, Shawn, Eric, and Sgt. Dickey finally had Wii's in their hot little hands. Priceless moment: spooning on a military cot at 4am in front of the NEX and 30 other people.
I took pictures for my friend Rita the other day. If you'd like photos, I'm for hire! I love taking pictures, so please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
