Douzo!

Weekly T-Shirt Update!

No T-shirt updates since Monday's post on the new Nico's Pier 38 Restaurant & Fish Market, so I'll just repeat what I wrote there in case ya missed it...

The graphic/screen designer suggested that the artwork on the front be 12" (instead of the original 9" or 10") so we went with what he suggested since he's the pro after all. Hopefully it turns out OK.

Stickers! I've been passing them out to my closer group of friends so you may start seeing them here and there (hopefully). If you see them, or, if you get one from me, please take a photo of it in action (where it's stuck on) for me. I'm collecting it for the Facebook page.

Have a happy VH07V Wednesday y'all! Shoooots!

Yes, it's a rare Monday post, but this one is for good reason. It combines several of my loves in one!

• Fresh Poke - check!
• Ono Kine Grindz - check!
• AND... a "New" Restaurant announcement - check!

I put "new" in quotes because Nico's Pier 38's owner Nicolas Chaize is no stranger to the restaurant biz. His original restaurant has been in business for almost 8 years. Now, located practically across the street diagonally, his new restaurant is three times the size and even includes a fresh fish market! Can't get any fresher fish than that!

The soft launch was last week Thursday (01/19/12) and already on Friday (01/20/12), without any advertising or fanfare, the new Nico's was PACKED. Here are some scenes from that day...

The bar at the new Nico's Pier 38 Restaurant

Now with new dinner hours (5pm-9pm), I can see this bar - with a beautiful view overlooking the ocean - getting a lot of action.

HUGE! They even have bottled drinks, coffee, bait, and a small selection of market type products (e.g. sugar, SPAM, sauces, chips, noodles, etc.)

The whole fish selection at the new Nico's Pier 38 Fish Market

Since the restaurant and fish market are practically located on the pier, the fish is as fresh as you can get! (Read my poke article covering the United Fishing Agency Honolulu Fish Auction at Pier 38).

Weekly T-Shirt Update!

Woo hoo! The artwork is with the designer who will be turning it into the actual screens that will be used. Once the screener gets them back, we'll be ready to go to print. Hopefully that'll be in the next few days/weeks! *fingers crossed* I added a little something different to the back, which I think makes it a little unique. Hopefully you guys like it.

Stickers! I picked up the stickers last week and they came out pretty sick! They are available in white, blue and pink. If anybody wants any... OR... if you can think of a good game for us to play to give them away, let me know. I'll probably be pushing them hard(er) as soon as I get the shirts in. That way I can do errrrthing at once. Exciting!

Weekly T-Shirt Update!

No new updates other than more specifics on the shirts. There will be two shirt colors (black and blue) in all sizes (S-XXXL, up to XXL for blue). There will be two styles for each colored shirt. The logo will either be solid white or a solid light green color on the chest, which goes well on the back and/or blue shirts if I do say so myself. It'll probably go to print in the next few days! Winners, I gotcho back!

I'm doing stickers too!. I'll have them in white, blue and pink (for the ladies... Haaaay!). I should be getting those in some time next week! Will be doing giveaways for those as well! Stay tuned!

Have a happy VH07V Wednesday y'all! Don't forget to post your guesses below k? Shoooots!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
（あけましておめでとう！）

I'm sure it's been a crazy and hectic holiday season for us all, but it's time to get back in the swing of things with the start of a brand new year. Strange to say this, but it's actually great to be back to work, this blog, and the overall "grind" of our daily lives no?

Since you guys let me take a break from da blog through most of December, I'm back with a vengeance. OK, not really, but the three photos for this week are definitely worth the wait with 1 part eye candy, 1 part funny, and 1 part just wrong. I'll let you decide what's what. Enjoy!

I was hoping to have news to share about my new clothing line by now, but there were a few snags and delays along the way. The design is with the screener, so I'm still hoping to get them out by this month so stay tuned! If you were on the list of winners (for a free T-shirt), no worries, I still got your name. If you would like more information on how to order when they finally do come out, holla atcho boy!
