* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is a video from our boy Chad Owens‘ Instagram feed. He and friend/teammate Andre Durie (@3two) recently hung out at Earls Kitchen & Bar prior to their first game of the 2013 CFL season!
* Reloaded with Stickers!
After being nearly sold out of everything, I finally got my re-order for stickers in, so I am fully loaded with all colors and sizes ranging from 2″, 7″, 10.5″ to even 30″ and our new “Shaka” design. Check out the Sticker Category on our web site for all options.
* Hats en Route
Like the stickers, I was wiped out pretty good of many of my hats, but I should be getting refilled here in the next day or two. Stay tuned. Check out the Hat Category on our web site to see what’s coming.
* Shirts Coming
My shirts take a little longer, so I should be getting more inventory for these hopefully in the next week or two. Mahalo for your patience!
* Be a VH07V Model?
Playing with some creative ways to improve the shopping cart, using real life people. If you wanna be a model, let a brutha know. 🙂

Hairy Leg Tights?
So there has been a viral photo going around the social web lately that shows a pair of (otherwise, normal) hairy legs. The thing is, they are not. According to a Chinese web site, these are supposedly a pair of stockings that young women wear to ward off perverts. Clever, but is it fo real? What you think?
* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is from VH07V‘s debut at the popular Honolulu Night Market event this past Saturday. I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Ed Kenney (owner of the popular TOWN Restaurant & host of the unreal new TV show on PBS Hawaii, Family Ingredients) when he stopped by our booth. It was very refreshing to find out that his humor and likability on TV is not an act. He is as genuine and humble as they come. Mahalo for the support Bruddah Ed!
* Re-Order in Progress
Because of the successful weekend, we are again wiped out in various styles and sizes and have placed a huge order to restock. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get those missing items back in stock. Mahalo for your patience in the meantime.
* Updated Product Photos!
Had some time to finally take better looking product shots so the online shopping cart looks a little more professional at least. Hope you guys like some of the changes!
* South Point Cliff Diving Video
In case you missed it, check out my buddy Andrew Agcaoili, aka Shibby Stylee‘s newest video after his recent visit to the Big Island of Hawaii for some gnarly dives off South Point!
Hungry? I hope so! This week is na-ting but local kine grindz!
Last week, we had 25 comments! Woo hoo! Mahalos to errr-one, especially newcomer Surfdad for the (inadvertent) dupe posts! EH! Any help we can get with the comment count these days… LOL!
We are super excited to announce that VH07V will have a booth at the super popular Honolulu Night Market taking place from 6pm-11pm THIS Saturday, 6/15 in Kakaako (Auahi Street).
We’ll be fully stocked (including our new Tron and Racerback designs) at our booth, which will be located in the “Pinch of Salt” Warehouse during the event. Come on by for special, show only pricing!
At this Saturday’s Honolulu Night Market (where we have a booth, as mentioned above), the Red Bull X-Fighters will be performing live freestyle motocross jumps right on the streets of Kakaako (6pm-7pm)! The jump demo will be followed by a meet & greet and autograph session with the athletes themselves: Keith Sayers, Wes Agee, & 3-time X-Games Gold Medalist Ronnie Renner (7pm-8pm). Here’s a sneak peek at what these guys do!
* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is via another video from the crazy talented Andrew Agcaoili, aka Shibby Stylee! Shibby and his “Bomb Squad” visited the Big Island of Hawaii to do some gnarly dives off South Point. Check out the video below!
* Shooting a Commercial!
This past weekend, we shot the first few scenes for our new commercial for VH07V. Click on the image below to see more photos from that day!
A-ight y’all. Since I’ve been depressed and crying my eyes out over the lack of comments lately, I made this week’s pics supah duuuuuupah easy! Hopefully we can give the blog a little jolt this week. 🙂

Last week, the good people at Hawaii Self Storage recognized and awarded 10 local public school students with a 4 year renewable scholarship ($4000 annually) to a college or university of their choice. In attendance for the night was Hawaii Self Storage owner Mr. Mike Wood and his lovely wife Joanne, VP of Operations Tony Goulart, and VP of Marketing and Sales Shaun Salvador. Serving as the “Master of Ceremonies” for the night was one half of the Aloha Boyz on 93.1 The Paina, Mr. Kaleo Pilanca.
* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is of Tomo-san from one of my favorite eats in town: Yajima-Ya Lunch Wagon. He was wearing his Green/White VH07V tee when Guy Hagi and Augie T went to visit him for a recent episode of Cheap Eats. Click on the photo below to watch the clip.

This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is of local boy and Toronto Argonauts football sensation Chad Owens in our new “Tron” design. Recently, I asked you guys to send your questions in for my interview with him, so this was the scene after that interview. Bruddah was as cool and as humble as they come. I always love it when our locals make it big, but still stay grounded and real. Root for Chad in this upcoming season for Toronto k? He’s doing it big and deserves all the support he can get.
* New stock FINALLY got my new styles back in stock! “Tron” (Black Adult shirt with Green lettering and White Hawaiian Islands), “Lotus” (White Ladies Racerback with Black & Red Lotus print), and “Blocks” (Blue Ladies Racerback with White and Aqua Block print) is back in! You can now purchase them off the site (link below).

Probably the biggest (recent) news – at least here locally – is the name change (again) of our beloved University of Hawaii men’s programs. It went from the Rainbows to the Warriors/Rainbows/Rainbow Warriors to the Warriors and then back to the Rainbow Warriors, or something to that effect. What are your thoughts on this? Do you care one way or another? That’s just one of my many topics of conversation in the “Scoops” section below. Holla!
* Did you guys hear this ridiculous story about Amy’s Baking Company in Arizona? It is quite hilarious (they’re now saying they were hacked), but also kinda scary how the power (and misuse) of social media can have such an impacting influence.
* OKC (1) vs. MEM (3), SAS (3) vs. GSW (2), MIA (3) CHI (1), or NYK (1) vs. IND (3)? Who you got?
* Candice Glover and Kree Harrison compete for the American Idol Season 12 crown? Who do you want to win? Tonight at 7pm on KHON (Oceanic channel 3, 83 or 1003).

* Anyone going to the final UH Rainbow Warrior baseball series at home against UC Davis? FRI 5/17 @ 6:35pm, SAT 5/18 @ 6:35pm and SUN 5/19 @ 1:05pm.
* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot includes my friend’s son in one of his favorite Blue/Green Keiki colorways! Buy it and others here: VH07V.
* Waimea Bay Cliff Jump Video!
In case you missed it last week, here’s a cool new video that local boy ShibbyStylee put together at one of Hawaii’s famous dives: The Waimea Bay Cliff Jump. If you’re at all familiar with the DevinSuperTramp Youtube channel, then you’ll love what this local boy is doing for Hawaii. Using the beauty of Hawaii as his backdrop, “Shibby’s” videos have one part thrill/adrenaline/athleticism and one part EYE CANDY, all with a hand-picked, catchy song and in HD quality to boot! Bruddah is putting Hawaii on the map and it’s only a matter of time before he’s a household name! Here’s our first project together, which already has over 6,000 views in less than two weeks! Click the image below to watch the epic vid!
* New stock
We’re still waiting on our re-order for everything we were low and sold out on. We’re hoping to get that in soon, so we should be fully stocked again in the next week or so. Apologies to those who have been trying to order online, but your size(s) were missing.

* VH07V at the 11th Annual Waikiki SPAM Jam
Our VH07V booth at last month’s SPAM Jam was absolutely NAHTS (in a good way)! We sold out of ALL of our new stuff (racerbacks, “Tron” design, etc.) and was practically wiped out in everything else we brought, particularly in Size L and XL! Needless to say, it was a good day…

Welcome to the last Wednesday of the month. Fast yeah?
So far this year, I’ve been having some pretty good (dumb?) luck. I took first place in our 2013 body fat competition, split our office pool for the Masters Golf Tournament (much love Adam Scott!), received my largest individual order to date for VH07V (from a Japanese distributor!), and have returns scheduled for both my federal AND state taxes! Anyone like rub my belly and go Vegas with me? 8)
Like last week, photos 1 & 2 may be a little challenging, but 3 is duck soup! Go get um!
Iron Man 3?
Iron Man 3 opens next week Friday, May 3rd. Who’s going? Oceanic Time Warner Cable will be giving away tickets to the advance screening of Iron Man 3 (May 1) on their Facebook Page this week. Keep your eyes peeled for that. 🙂

What happened on Monday in Boston is sad and angering. It goes without saying. I really hope they find and punish the person/people involved with this terrible, terrible act. Please help me pray for those families going through hurt and loss right now…
