It’s ARTafterDARK, so you know the event is gonna be fresh, this just gives you one more reason to go.

You can check out the microsite that promotes this event at twothousandfiftynine.com

Lafa Taylor at the Loft

Lafa Taylor.

At first, I thought… who the eff is this dude?

On second thought… it IS Aceyalone on a little too much of that happy herb.

So, this hip-hop/reggae mashup sack of fun should be an interesting endeavor this Friday night.

Also, this is the official after party for the homie Aaron Yoshino‘s “The End is NEAR” photo exhibit, so you know this has to be hella good.

The concert is this Friday night at the Loft, doors open at 8pm for those 21+.  $10 at the door gets you in & a visit to this site will get you a Red Stripe from the Myopenbar folks.

Check out the Loft’s website or MySpace for more info.

The End is NEAR – the work of Aaron K. Yoshino

Swing by the in4mation Boardshop on the second floor of Ward Warehouse this Friday nght for a special art event that holds personal meaning for us here at atypicalLIVING.

Aaron Yoshino aka Honozooloo aka the photographer you see darn near everywhere is holding a solo photo show, displaying work that you probably haven’t seen yet.  I got a little preview of what he had planned for the show and I, for one, am mad excited for it.  This is gonna display the artistry of the photographer and the grittiness of the new Chinatown.  The flyer photo says a lot, but at the same time, says nothing to which the show will be all about.  This is gonna be epic, and the only way to experience it is to get to the in4mation Boardshop this Friday night.

If you still need convincing, the fine folks at Honolulu Myopenbar will be providing FREE Red Stripe and Sake.  I seriously don’t know what else they can do to convince you to go to this show.

“The End is Near” goes down this Friday night from 6-9pm at the in4mation Boardshop, on the second floor of the Ward Warehouse.  Also, if you’re still in the partying mood, the afterparty for the show, featuring Lafa Taylor, will go down at the Loft from 9pm-2am.

Props to Aaron for this one, congrats bro.

Triple A show

Join Borders Ward Center as they display the latest work from three of the biggest names in Hawaii’s art scene.

Entitled the “Triple A” show, this month long display features work from three guys named Aaron:  

Aaron Lee AKA MyCryptonauts

Aaron Martin AKA angry woebots

… and newest Pocket Full of Monsters member: Aaron Yoshino AKA Honozooloo

This display is up throughout the month of February at Borders Ward Center.  So, while you check out the new Seattle’s Best, or pick up a few books, check out some of the dopest work this side of Chinatown.

Blue Scholars at Next Door this 1st friday

Big Ups to @honozooloo, @superCW, and @sonecessary for all the info.

So, the Shwayze show scheduled for New Year’s Eve at Pipeline Cafe has been cancelled.

BUT! their special guests are in town to rock the 1st Friday spot the weekend following.

Blue Scholars.  Next Door. First Friday. January 2nd. 21+.  Almost doesn’t even need it’s own copy, does it?

Almost a full six months since they infamously closed down Next Door, Geologic and Sabzi are BACK in Hawaii, bring that Pacific Northwest hip-hop that drove people bananas last time.

It’s $10 to get in, but it’ll be the best $10 you’ve spent on a show in a long time.  And, it’ll be the first show you’ll go to in the new year, so make it count.

Love Actually

You know, not a lot of details were given to me about this one, so I’m gonna glean as much from the flyer as I can for this post.

So, NO real clue who’s throwing this together, but I do know it involves Grace Bible Church somehow.  The exhibits look super OFFICIAL, as Aaron Rideout, Mai Love, Painted Lemon, Honozooloo, and  KPix will be dropping some dope photo exhibitions.  Cassandra Rull will be providing some sort of fashion display and Soohee and Remi will be bringing the art to the party.

Performances from Tehani, Friends of Adam, and a combined performance of Beat Root standout Stutterin’ Stan and the multi-faceted Living Proof will highlight the live music at this event.

Of course, since it’s close to Christmas, Santa will be bringing it, somehow, someway…

Plus, some other stuff that I wasn’t informed of, but I assume will go off without a hitch.

This all goes down this Friday night at the FilCom (Filipino Community Center) in Waipahu.  The event starts at 6pm, but get there early because parking is a B at the FilCom, as those who have attended a b-boy jam there can attest to.

Looks like a fun event, so who knows, maybe the mystery of the whole thing might work to the event’s advantage?  We shall see…
