Bon Iver at the Fox Theater in Oakland

We went to see the sold out concert for Bon Iver last night in Oakland and snapped a few blurry shots to share below. Magical venue… great live show.

Yes, that is the Hammer you’re thinking of, performing tonight.

Kenneth Brimer September 19th Event In Hawaii

Kenny took some photos during the charity event on Saturday, September 19th in Honolulu. Family, friends and lots of supporters were in attendance to help raise awareness and funds for his recent diagnosis of leukemia. And from the looks of it, Kenny had a great time. Keep the spirits up…

Todd St. John and Gene Dadoy. The 3 of us talked about making folders with electric tape and plastic sleeves as we all grew up in Hawaii. If you know what we’re talking about, you also know how to lean back on your seat and spin one on your fingertip during class. So funny…
