Dreamworld


So anyone familiar with Kickstarter can tell you there are some really neat things you can contribute to. Whether it's a new product being introduced, a concept for a movie, or even funding for a band to create their next album. All in all its a nice platform to get the word out about a project. I don't know Whit Hertford very well but we used to play church basketball together a bit while we were in our high school days. I don't even know if he remembers me from those days when he would rep the Los Angeles Clippers like he was Frankie Muniz. I've enjoyed watching some of his Funny or Die videos and have even seen him on episodes of random TV shows here and there over the years, but when I stumbled on this little video I thought I might help get the word out. Check out the little promo video and if you have a few buck, feel free to chip in a bit. I like this project for several reasons, one of which is the fact that one of the gals in it happens to be in the band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. I like the overall approach they are taking to get the film out there and I enjoy the character Whit plays. I really think the story line is interesting as well. Enjoy and keep an eye out for it!

Beirut At The Greek Theater
While in Los Angeles I had the chance to catch Beirut perform live at the Greek Theater. Hardly any live bands make their way to Oahu so I have to take advantage of live music with bands I like whenever I'm on the mainland. The sound quality at the Greek was incredible (it lived up to the hype) and the history of the place made it even more fun to be there. We got lucky and scored some front and center seats without our back pockets getting emptied. The night was memorable.
