Love From Hawai’i

Wow, big love to Gary Chun for this feature in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Probably the best one, the most personal one yet. This one means a lot. Gary was a huge influence on me when I was young and impressionable island boy, showing me that one could really write about his passions and even make a life of it.

I just read the Star-Bulletin article on you, which prompted me to check out your site. Planning any Hawaii appearances?

Aloha!
