Lost

"Lost" returns to Mililani, this time setting up inside the lychee farm
deep inside Mililani Mauka. The street is packed with trailers
(Hurley/Locke and Sheriff/Eddie?), crew cars (effects?), and even one
trashed cargo container (prop, or just pulled from the location?). Another
neighborhood gawker said it was for Episode 3x02.

Stryker

Another Stryker spotted, corner of Nuuanu Ave. and S. King St. on front of
First Hawaiian Bank's cool Chinatown branch. Wonder if Matt Kubo is
repleneshing these or still deploying them? I don't think this one was here
a few weeks back when I was out looking for 'em.

Instructions

"WARNING: Do not attempt to hang from towel, or insert your head into the
towel loop." I'd love to see the court filing that prompted that sticker!

Workhorse

My trusty "news van." It's been getting a lot of rest lately, so I'm
treating it to some TLC (just got a new battery, too). It's been almost
nine months since it last visited Jiffy Lube. Total mileage in that time?
Just over 1,000 miles. The tech asked incredulously, "You live in
Mililani?" He did too, but transferred from the Pearl Kai location to
University because "the people were better here."

Maybe in the garage, but while I was there, a tourist walked in asking how
to get to the Swap Meet at Aloha Stadium. The cashier just laughed and
shook his head. I helped the guy out.

Coming Soon

An intriguing new joint moving in next door to Soul de Cuba restaurant at
1111 Bethel Street (across Hawaii Theatre). There's a door at the back to
an interior, open-air courtyard that I never knew was there. Anyone know
what's coming? Chinatown is so chic these days...

Podcasters

The Hawaii Association of Podcasters welcomes Eric Rice (ericrice.com) back
to Honolulu. Present were Todd Cochrane (geeknewscentral.com), Vernon Brown
(808talk.com), Eric Timmer (blogaloha.com), and me (hawaiiup.com). After
dinner at CPK, we went shopping at the Apple Store. We discussed citizen
media, Second Life, and everything else. At the Apple Store, Dan the sales
guy actually recognized me from the"LOST" podcast Jen and I did. And no,
you aren't seeing things... That is Todd buying a MacBook Pro.

Lunch

Lunch with my friend Lacene at Skippy's (1385 Queen Emma St.), a Vietnamese place next door to Dog the Bounty Hunter (and he was in today). Owner Lannie Nguyen, right, was busy hand rolling spring rolls when we arrived. Lacene, left, is a regular, and loves the barbecue chicken. I had the combo phó. Yummy!

Grindz

This little restaurant, truly a hole in the wall on Chaplain Lane off Fort
Street, offers good food and good karma. The lunch plates, many priced
under $5, are prepared and served by recovering addicts. Former ice user
Vincent Kwon started the restaurant after finding jobs scarce for those
with a drug past.

Stryker

Have you spotted a Stryker around town? Local artist Matt Kubo has stuck
little Army Stryker cutouts all over Honolulu to get people to talk about
the heavy military presence in Hawaii. While many have been removed, one
reliable place to see them is at The Arts at Mark's Garage.

U2

Guess it was a good idea to hold onto these. Originally an anniversary
present, U2 canceled their April show. Now it's been rescheduled to
December, with Pearl Jam added to the mix. I'm finally making use of my
safe deposit box, else I'll lose the tickets. I'm also posting this so I
don't forget where I put them!

Heidi's Downtown Bistro on Queen Street. Then, a visit to his offices
