Where In the Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? – August 29, 2012

August 29, 2012

Ho, August 29th already… Exactly one month away from this year’s Rice Fest. So fast yeah?

Anyway, sorry (again!), was slammed at work all day yesterday and had one late softball game last night so I could only muster up the energy for one photo this week. I’ll try to respond to last week’s comments soon too!

If you’ve been to this week’s photo location, this one is duck soup. How you like the stealth shot with my arm inside? LOL! Good luck y’all!

VH07V SPOTTED!

For this week’s “Spotted“, we got Twitter supporter Neil Ordinario wearing his Black/White Logo T colorway at U.S Cellular Field in Chicago.

Weekly VH07V Updates!

* Here’s a mockup of a couple new colorways I’ve been cooking up. The one on the top will hopefully be ready just in time for football season 8) , while the one on the bottom is a colorway I thought might work well for my friend who is involved with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure walk. While they can use it as a fundraiser for their team, for any sales I personally make, I could also donate part of the proceeds back to the foundation. All for a good cause. What do you guys think of either of them?

Two new colorways dropping soon!

3rd Annual Rice Fest!

It’s that time of year again! As one of the Rice Fest co-founders, I feel that it is my duty to pester da heck outta you guys until you show up at the event. 8) This year, we’re excited to be having it at Ward Centers (in the parking lot area near Menchies off Auahi). More on the details of the day’s activities, but you can be sure that we’ll have the best rice-oriented food booths, cooking demonstrations, the SPAM musubi eating contest, and the breaking of the Guinness World Record for Largest SPAM musubi… Again! Hope to see y’all there!

VH07V SPOTTED!

For this week’s “Spotted“, we got a couple of fans/supporters sending their VH07V all the way from San Francisco’s picturesque Golden Gate Bridge! They are sporting the Blue/White Logo T colorway and the Black/White Logo T colorway.

Weekly VH07V Updates!

* Put in a new order for a new colorway I’ve been cooking up, and also put in yet another “fill-in” order! Things are almost getting to that point where I need to outsource fulfillment services. Luckily, I have friends who do that so if ever I need to, it will hopefully make sense to go with them!

* Another reminder that VH07V will be sponsoring this year’s Rice Fest (duh!) and will produce the office Rice Fest shirt (for sale at the event) and will be the official T-shirt provider for all volunteers. If you’re interested in volunteering on September 29th from 11am-7pm, holla atcho boy! 🙂
