We had a blast at the popular Honolulu Night + Market last Saturday and we just wanted to send our Alohas and Mahalos! Someone told us it seems like we took VH07V to the “next level” at this show and it really felt like it. Super happy with the way things are going and I owe it all to you guys. 🙂

OK, so this blog went from celebrating its 6th year anniversary to being dormant for an entire month! Ummm… Sorry ah!
For whatever reason, I had super early meetings/calls/travel every single Wednesday last month, so the Tuesday nights before (the night I usually work on these blogs) was used to go bed early. I have something tomorrow morning again, but it’s been long enough! My two readers need me! 😛
Anyway, sorry for the unintentional hiatus. We back yo. Let’s do this!

My New AroundHawaii.com Article: Bubble Tea Mania!
We continue our epic bubble tea journey with 5 more milk tea establishments located in town. We found out about Dragon Tea after the wife saw her friend post a drink photo on Instagram. Since we hardly ever go to Waiks, we thought it would be some time until we got to visit and taste what Dragon Tea had to offer. Luckily, my clothing company (VH07V) got the wonderful opportunity to vend at the popular Waikiki SPAM Jam festival again, so we decided to grab a hotel at the Outrigger Waikiki for the weekend to have a mini staycation since we would be there anyway…
* Spotted!
Super talented ukulele duo Honoka & Azita posted another crazy video to their YouTube channel on Monday, this time, covering the popular song “Wipeout”. The girls look awesome thanks in large part to their schooling at Ukulele Hale and the filming/editing magic of Shibby Stylee!

* VH07V Spotted!
This week’s “SPOTTED!” shot is one with popular recording artist Anuhea! It’s the Yamada boys showing some VH07V with Anuhea after her show at Seattle’s Crocodile Cafe during “The Love & Roots Tour” last June.
* New Design: “Jah”
Based on your votes, here are the two final colors for the new “Jah” design: Charcoal and Dark Chocolate Brown. I’m hoping to get these in before VH07V‘s appearance at Honolulu Night Market next Saturday. Crossing our fingers!
* Hooooo! What a game last night! The series is tied 3 games a piece. It all comes down to this last game tomorrow night. Who you got? San Antonio Spurs or Miami Heat?

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).

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!

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. 🙂

My interview with bruddah Chad Owens (called “Chad Owens – A Born Fighter“) got posted to AroundHawaii earlier this week. Click the image below to check it out and watch the video as well.
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.
