Live, Live, Live…

good morning. 7 am and the waves are small, windy, and junky again. but like i said yesterday, if you know where to look, you can have an awesome session. that’s where i’ll probably be going again today….
last night was amazing. i went to two concerts and a poetry contest all in a matter of a few hours. it started at 9 pm….

i was invited by a friend to watch him do a secret live performance at “The Kahala” hotel. i didn’t ask permission to put his name or photos on my blog so i’ll be on the safe side and won’t. i’ll just call him K-san for now. i’ve been surfing with K-san for this past 2 weeks. we’ve been riding waves together and having a lot of fun. i heard that he is a famous singer in japan and is in a group that is equivalent to Boys to Men or N’sync. K-san is very kind, humble, and soft spoken. so when he grabbed the microphone and sang the first song, i was speechless. chicken skin.. wow!!! he had such an amazing voice. he sang 5 songs and i wanted to hear more. one of the songs he sang was nada sou sou, which brought tears to my eyes. next time i go surfing with K-san, i’m going to ask him a favor. i’m going to ask him if he can sing for me when we’re paddling out[:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:][:????$B”L(B?:]
if i’m ever in japan and get the chance to see K-san perform, i’m there!!!

i left The Kahala Hotel at 9:27 pm and i had to rush over to the Fresh Cafe Warehouse for Kat’s live performance at 9:30 pm. can you believe i made it? i got from kahala to ward in 3 min? right as i walked in, kat was getting ready. and guess what? the first song she sang was called “Thank You”. that was the first song i heard her sing at a party in chiba a few years ago. chicken skin again….

then after kat’s live, there was a poetry contest. guys were walking on stage doing poems. WOW!!! i’d never thought i would be into poems but that was amazing too. the stories been told through poems were real. so real that my mind was going back and forth as it was circling through my whole life. chicken skin again…
i got more chicken skin in one night then i’ve ever gotten in my life. got more stories to tell but got to get out of my house…. have a great day!!!
