I know soccer is huge outside the US and that competition is fierce. Check out just how competitive teams and their countries get!
Creatively brutal! I like Brazil’s reply.
Congratulations to Natalie Ai Kamauu
Congratulations to Natalie Ai Kamauu for winning best female artist at the 2009 Na Hoku Hanohano awards.
She must have gotten a boost from all the texting/tweeting fans at her table. 😉
You can sample Natalie’s music on her MySpace music page.
Men and Their Toys
Men and their toys are going to get a boost when the new Lego store opens at Ala Moana on July 29. Hawaii reportedly has a big Lego fan base represented by the Lego Enthusiasts Association of Hawaii (LEAHI), hence the logical choice of opening a Honolulu location.
On August 15, the first 300 customers who spend $35 at the store will receive a special Lego set of a humuhumunukunukuapua’a and coral. That’s definitely a collector’s item!
I got to check this store out and perhaps, bring in some of my vintage stuff.
Thanks to @hawaii for the picture.
Inside Club 939: Go Go Dancers?
So you thought the Inside 939 question and answer sessions were done? Not quite. Here’s a question that came in via Twitter asking about the salaries of go-go dancers. Just for some background, but Club 939 at times has changed their venue into a night club.
I want to know how much go-go dancers get paid. I’m seriously in the wrong profession. Heh.
The response:
Easy answer is… Depends. There seems to be two tiers of Gogo dancers. If they are ‘established’ then they usually won’t dance for less than $100-150. Established means they have been dancing at big clubs (pipeline, level 4, w, etc) as house gogos, ie every week.
The second tier is girls who are newer and unproven and will dance for $50-$100. Usually younger.
The established gogos do a much better job of promoting their events and actually have a fan base. So some promoters prefer these girls.
Other promoters will use cheaper girls because the promoters can’t get the established girls or can’t afford them.
If u need to get in touch with any gogos let me know- I know pretty much all of them.
Case closed.
Are You Ready for “Hung?”
As in HBO’s new comedy, not William Hung from American Idol. This comedy series tagged as “It’s hard to make an indecent living” tracks the down-and-out luck of a high school basketball coach who’s looking for a step up in life using his asset.
Watch the rated G trailer of Hung.

Memories of My iPhone 3G
With the announcement of the new iPhone 3GS, I had to take a stroll down memory lane and reminisce the day I bought my iPhone 3G, 11 months ago!
Come with me back to July 11, 2008 as I waited outside the Windward AT&T store under sunshine and drizzle to become part of the iPhone ohana.

Lady GaGa’s Next Hit, Paparazzi?
Let’s get this out of the way, but Lady GaGa is strange. Yet, she cranks out hit after hit. Could Paparazzi be her next chart topping single?
The Paparazzi video features Alexander Skarsgård from True Blood which, oh by the way, debuts its new season on June 14.

How I Remember Neil Patrick Harris
When talking about Neil Patrick Harris, most people think of his role as youthful doctor, Doogie Howser M.D. or his more recent work on How I Met Your Mother.
For me, I’ll always remember NPH (as his fans call him) as the mind reading Colonel Carl Jenkins of Starship Troopers who exclaims “It’s afraid. It’s afraid!” while sensing the Brain Bug at the end of the movie.
