I purchased the Hawaii Volcano National Park poster by Charley Harper recently.

Honolulu city used to have many more independent movie theaters than it does now. That’s what I heard from people who know the old Hawaii. Unfortunately, many of the old theaters have disappeared. But some theaters are still standing even though they have been abandoned for decades. Queen theater on Waialae is one of them.

In the last  “Re: HI” issue we talked about Honolulu city’s bike plan. Over the weekend I just happened to find in Kailua town a unique program to help get people pedaling.

It has been one month since the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. The situation has not improved yet and the news we hear everyday is not good.

I could not make it for Chinese New Year events in Chinatown this year, but I could catch a lion dance at Academy of Arts last Sunday.

Happy New Year!  How did you start the New Year? My 2011 started with a sunrise from Makapuu.  

Halloween in Downtown is always vibrant and fun.

I had an opportunity to sneak a view of the upcoming exhibition: “Musings of Mystery and Alphabets of Agony: The Work of Edward Gorey,” at University of Hawaii Art Gallery.

Ken-san, a friend of mine, is showing his photography at the Canon  U.S.A. Gallery now.

The Bon Dance at Kogan-ji is Hawaii’s best for many reasons.

It was great reuniting with friends. I enjoyed their show at FF last night!

I missed the Jeffstaple event last week, but I made it to his “pop up” bookstore, Reed Space HNL at Waikiki Parc Hotel.

Blaisdell hall was packed with people who love collectables. I lost track of time looking though each booth. My best finds were some cute CATHERINE HOLM bowls and dishes!

Buying fresh vegetables, fruits and baked goods at farmer’s market is one of my favorite things to do on a weekend.

My favorite summer event is coming next weekend. The event is Hawaii All-Collectors Show 2010 at Blaisdell.
