808/OOF Tour 2009

2009 can call itself lucky: I've been to NY and Hawaii twice this year, but the last trip to "Da Rock" (No Frisco) was more than recreational...it was my first trip as EyeASage! Now mind you, I tagged along with Bam with no particular motive except to hop on a show or two and show the folks how Baywaii really gets down, but luck would have it that I was able to convince the homie (and acclaimed filmmaker) Tad Nakamura to put me on the bill for his Honolulu premiere of "A Song For Ourselves". But in the days that followed, I learned a lot about life on the road as a touring MC (boys club, gay jokes) and what it takes to survive (making it to soundcheck, an awesome green room, and MERCH). Thank you, Hawaii! I'll be back sooner than you can say howzit.

The crowd was live!

Some of the good folks who approached after the show...

Aaron Yoshino, Phat, Carol, Bam & Eye

The Yin to their Yang (Chera, Chel, me, & Carol) Three C's and K!

Creed Chameleon, Geologic of the Blue Scholars, and Bambu

My road dawg and future tour manager :)

Bee who showed us macrobiotic eating, meaning he caught the fish and we ate it.

(It was soo good!)

Geo & Bam at Giovanni's (overrated)

Me at Matsumotos (also overrated)

The guys, volleying each other's balls

The awesome spread in the Rockstarz green room in Kona

Bam pontificating life...

Offroading!

Me and Sookie Stackhouse on the beach. (yes that's beef jerky)
