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. 🙂
We are super excited to announce that VH07V will have a booth at the uber popular Honolulu Night Market taking place from 6pm-11pm next 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!
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.

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.
* Please send prayers and good vibes to the Oklahoma tornado victims.
* Thoughts on Kevin Durant’s 1 million dollar donation to Oklahoma’s tornado relief!? I think he just became my favorite NBA player!
* R.I.P. Ray Manzarek (The Doors’ keyboardist).
* Thoughts on Kelly Rowland and Paulino Rubio joining X Factor judging panel?
* MEM vs. SAS or MIA vs. IND? Who you got?
* Congratulations to American Idol Season 12 winner Candice Glover.
* Don’t forget to tune in to the 36th Annual Na Hoku Hanohano Awards this Saturday, May 25th at 7pm on KFVE (Oceanic Time Warner Cable channel 5, 85 and HD 1005).
* VH07V Spotted!
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 watching UFC on FX 8 (Belfort vs. Rockhold) this Saturday? 3pm on FX (Oceanic channel 554 or HD 1554).
* Anyone watching the finale episode of The Office on Thursday night? 8pm on KHNL (Oceanic channel 8, 88 or HD 1008).
* 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.

SPOTTED: Waimea Bay Cliff Jump – VH07V by ShibbyStylee
* 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…
* New stock
We’ve placed our re-order for everything we were low and sold out on, so we should be fully stocked again in the next week or so. Apologies to those who have been trying to order online, but we didn’t have your size(s).

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…
