groundUP Pirates present FLASH!

The groundUP Pirates are back, and in a big way, with FLASH! – a fashion show / photography exhibition going down this Friday night at the Honolulu Design Center.

Giving love to the photographers, FLASH! will highlight the dopest work from Hawaii’s elite photography talent: Willy banlund, Harold Julian, Rafael Swit, Peter Helenius, Brooke Dombroski, Carolyn Mirante, Aaron Eskaran, Kristofor Gelert, and Luke Takayama.

Along with the photographers taking center stage, there is also a fashion show going on, featuring pieces from Exclusive Hawaii, Cassandra Rull, and The Butik.

Finally, what groundUP event would be complete without music?  The sound selectors include Rhyme the Old Man, Elephant Armada, Sentric, DeeNiri, and DJs Oliver Twist and Liger with the IMON Factor.

FLASH! goes down this Friday night at the Honolulu Design Center (1250 Kapiolani).  $5 will get you through the doors, which open at 8pm and is open to all ages.

Jabbawockeez at the Blaisdell Concert Hall

Prime Productions and Party Down Productions present America’s Best Dance Crew winners Jabbawockeez in a dance concert to heat up your already hot Summer night.

Along with the men in masks, there’s also gonna be the HI RISE dance competition and the Monarchy crew B-Boy battle.  The floor will be burning up with the heat of dope moves and hot competition.  In addition to the battles, there’s performances by Krystilez, Big Mox, Nippon Da Mic, NixPac, Hypersquad, and of course, the Jabbawockeez.

The event goes down tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm at the Blaisdell Center Concert Hall.

With both the Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern making appearances in the Islands the past couple of weeks, I’m looking for Hawaii’s dance scene to be on the come up real soon.
