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…

The Honolulu Star-Advertiser recently released their ballot for their popular “Hawaii’s Best People’s Choice Awards” for 2013. One of the categories is “Moving Service” and, as the lil’ bro to the best big sister around (Minna Sugimoto), I felt it was my obligation to help her company get votes for this contest. 🙂
Not sure if they are still printing the ballots, but if you can find one (this one was in Monday’s paper), please do me a solid and vote for Island Movers under the Moving Service category of this Hawaii’s Best contest! I am told that they are accepting votes postmarked today as the last day (no online way to vote as far as I know), so please vote, vote, vote! Much mahalos!

Sorry for not posting last week Wednesday y’all. In addition to getting owned at work with all kine corp visitors coming in and out, I went out of commission with a stomach flu. 😦 And even though I’m coughing with shmall kine congestion now, my fingers can still move so this post will not be denied! Haha!
Is everybody’s March going a-ok so far? I hope so! I got one month left in my body fat loss competition with friends. This sickness probably didn’t help (I haven’t been able to work out for more than a week now), but hopefully, I can get back to it soon. Anyway, here are this week’s pics! Hopefully, none are repeats. LOL! Good luck!
Out of thousands of entries, two of Hawaii’s brightest developers (Ryan Kanno and Austen Ito) were selected to be a part of this year’s StartupBus tour. Their mission? To develop a cool new startup during their bus ride that will debuted at SxSW in Austin Texas! Now that they’ve arrived and are in waiting mode before their projects (readin.gs & jobber.io) are judged, they’re looking to make the biggest social media impact while there. If you could help me support them by going to this link: http://americas.startupbus.com/2013/hawaii-represented-at-startupbus-look-out-for-readingsftw-and-jobberio/ and leaving a comment, they may have a chance to win that award too!
This week’s “Spotted” shot features Bruddah Bryan from the Skinny Hawaiians. He is wearing a Blue/Green VH07V Logo colorway during the Skinny Hawaiians’ visit with Jana Park at Kakaako Kool to learn more about the art of shaving ice.

* Other than hats (currently running low on some of them), I think I finally have a decent stock of inventory. Whew! Let’s see how long that lasts. 🙂
* Although the sales have been going pretty good for the new stuff like the moisture wicking polo) and the “Shaka” designs, I’ll probably start looking into releasing a few new style/designs, including the ballot-winning one below, in the coming months.
* Super stoked to announce that VH07V has been selected as one of only 10 crafters to get into this year’s SPAM Jam festival in Waikiki taking place next month (Saturday, April 27 @ 4pm-10pm). Come on down and visit us at the booth k?
Here’s a remixed video Hawaii Self Storage recently released featuring former UH standout and CFL world champion Chad Owens, whom they interviewed prior to him going OFF last season!
