North Shore, Oahu~ Big waves!

Joe and I went on a day trip to the North Shore of Oahu today and saw some awesome, BIG waves at the famed Pipeline. A surf meet was cancelled because the surf was too big. Also too big for Joe to ride but great to see the incredible power of the ocean, it sure is humbling~

Comedy at Indigo 1-25-12

Spending more time writing and performing comedy lately, these shots are from 1-25-12 at Indigo Restaurant's Opium Den Wednesday comedy showcase. We welcomed Teresa Sickels and Doug Wykoff from Power Up Comedy in Maui and they killed it. Also got pictures of the fabulous, Kristen Sprague. Looking forward to the first official gig of the Female Comics of Hawaii, stay tuned for details! Also in the works, comin' up: another jellyfish painting and a visit from mom. Staycation and a submarine ride~
