Is KHJZ the Revenge of Justin Cruz?

by Gee Why on September 3, 2010

in Pulp

No, I’m kidding… sorta. Justin Cruz is a cool guy, but when I heard the “new” music format on 93.9, I was reminded of Justin’s time as a radio DJ (on 93.1 was it?). If I remember right, he played hits from the 80′s and 90′s, but now Justin’s making a name for himself on [...]

What’s this? Another change on the Hawaii radio waves? I saw this tweet from Gregg Hammer so I need to investigate KHJZ… .bbpBox22833171279 {background:url(http://s.twimg.com/a/1282351897/images/themes/theme14/bg.gif) #131516;padding:20px;} p.bbpTweet{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:8px;padding-top:12px;height:40px;border-top:1px solid #fff;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author{line-height:19px} p.bbpTweet span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 7px 0 0px;width:38px;height:38px} p.bbpTweet a:hover{text-decoration:underline}p.bbpTweet span.timestamp{font-size:12px;display:block} KIKI is dead! 93.9 Jamz is [...]

in Life

Anyone interested in buying a 2011 Entertainment Book? We gotta sell a few for a fundraiser. Here’s a list of participating Hawaii vendors. As usual, we can “swap” fundraiser items. You buy this, I’ll buy from your fundraiser. Sound good?

Though the new Hawaii Five-O reboot has a smaller cast than LOST, I’m still not familiar with the characters or actors. But still, when this guy walked into the Counter in Kahala Saturday evening, I immediately though of Scott Caan who plays Danno. I don’t know why, and I don’t think this was him since [...]

Shopping at Don Quixote, I stumbled upon Pepsi Baobab. What’s that? Luckily, the always-entertaining The Impulsive Buy has a review of this tree-based drink.

Hit or Miss?

A vampire sheriff, a swimsuit model, and a pop diva on the comeback starring in the upcoming Battleship movie. Hit or miss?

This may already be well known, but I’ll repeat since it’s worth it. Best Buy locations in Hawaii may have different prices from their online web site. But, you can receive the (lower) online price just by showing them the price on the Best Buy web page . They’ll in turn price match with their [...]

The new “old” series, Nikita, starts on September 9 on the CW and stars Hawaii-raised, Maggie Q. But no, you can’t yet set your Tivo to record the series.

If you’re ever on the Windward side looking for breakfast, you need to visit Cinnamons. Though it does get crowded in the mornings, especially on the weekends, the wait is well worth it. Here’s a snapshot of their daily specials. You have to try their potent guava chiffon pancakes.

What other sustenance do you need other than espresso, art, internet, and food? You can see this sign driving in Waimanalo, headed towards Kailua.

A favorite Friday takeout meal comes from Food Company. Their menu is extensive, but the specials (surf)board is where it’s at! At the very top of the specials board is a new favorite, the seared ahi with jalapeno ponzu sauce (I call that “jalaponzu”).

The main stairway leading to the Hale Koa hotel in Waikiki has got to be one of the most confusing ever. If you ever walked up these steps, you know what I mean. Each step is so long, you need to take an intermediary step just to reach the next step level. So instead of [...]

Signs of Hawaii: Election Time

You know it’s time for Hawaii elections when you see neighborhood walls covered with campaign signs.

This freezer unit with cube, block, and crush ice surely has character! From the set of Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

Went to check out the hoopla at Heeia Kea Pier in Kaneohe, the filming site of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. Though Captain Jack Sparrow, aka Johnny Depp was no where around, the crowds were still coming. We lucked out with parking right at the pier side and stayed for about 15 [...]

Not sure if these bumper stickers are still there at the Windward end of the Pali, but someone wants to make sure we keep the country cropped.

Not sure where I saw this sign, but I thought it was entertaining: Las Vegas • Paris • Tokyo • Waimanalo

And who knew the Four Seasons has an active social networking campaign, engaging customers on Twitter and even giving Twitter treats! In July 2009, the Hawaii State Farm Fair featured [...]
