    Left Coast Crime - David Putnam, ex LAPD, swat officer, Hawaii 5 o, and now a new mystery writer

    Left Coast Crime

    Honolulu Havoc: headline title of the Left Coast Crime mystery book convention…read more You heard of speed dating, well how about author speed dating? New authors each get a minute to make a case for their book, moving among 18 tables of potential readers. Most left bookmarkers with their names and recent releases, Sarah Chen left a magnet holder and David Putnam left a 22 caliber bullet casing with a 4 page sample of one of his books. David, we will be sure to remember you! Some rules you cannot violate. You cannot follow an author into the bathroom for an autograph, as the other gender would complain of unequal access! Went to the meet the new author's breakfast. Many of the tables were completely filled, but one author was all alone, which is where we sat. Turned out Jane Stillwell was a militant anti-Wall Street protester from Berkeley, my home town. Turns out all 13 new authors were women, as were 70% of the 460 attendees. Question came up of including maps and footnotes in mystery stories. One author remarked that most people can't read maps, at least when driving. Books about couples of widely varying ages. One author described it as penetrating relationships. A woman was asked about whether she had written any novels. Does Shades of Gray count? An author said that his wife described him as being dead when hanged, but alive and hung! LAPD -let's all pound the dude! Portland Oregon, low murder rate, but town with lots of self sufficient people -highest suicide rate in the nation. Retired crime investigator from Honolulu Police Dept talked about the real Charlie Chan, Chang Apatha. We looked at him a bit puzzled. Yes, he only got into the department after they lowered the 5'7" height requirements. One seminar was on opium smuggling in Hawaii, where the speaker told us why opium smokers always smoked on their side. Did you know that the founder of the Vancouver Stock Exchange previously was engaged in opium smuggling? Breakfast Jonathan Kellerman: one of each of his books on each chair. A coupon for a free book enclosed in one of the books on each table. When a few tables were empty, one lady went around checking each of the books, looking for the coupon. Turns out she was part of the committtee, and not an opportunist like my ex-wife from Hong Kong! One top of the list that you didn't want to belong on. The most books on the returned/exchanged books table. Turns out that they were Jonathan Kellerman, guest speaker and main invitee for the conference. Next was Tahoe Dark, by Todd Borg. Mainly men authors, as the audience was 70% female. Met a new author who writes my type of novels: crime story thrillers. David Putnam was introduced as highly decorated with many awards. The monitor added he assumed this was for David's work as a detective and SWAT officier, and not as an author! They had a welcome reception on the Great Lawn. Here you wanted to start from the end of the food table, which had chicken skewers and egg rolls, the only hot dishes. Final night had a banquet. Signed up by table by author, but David Putnam's table was long filled, so we sat with the rest of the steerage. Everyone had chicken or talapia at our table, but they served us a bottle of red wine. Wore shorts the entire time. Didn't want to wear my black slacks, as I'm Chinese in all Asian Hawaii, and with my deep winter tan, the conferee attendees would mistake me for part of the hired help! At the final night of the banquet, long line at the entrance with everyone being stopped. Bouncer checking id to see if people of minimum drinking age? Not in this almost exclusive senior group!

    I booked a Bridal First-Look appointment online for 10:00 AM and brought one guest with me. We…read moreparked at the Whole Foods parking lot and walked across the street. We worked with Olivia, and she was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I thought I was looking for in a wedding dress. As we went through the appointment, she helped me refine my preferences and ultimately discover what I really wanted in my future wedding dress. I appreciated that she encouraged both my guest and me to pull dresses that caught our eye, while also selecting additional gowns based on what she was learning about my style. It felt very collaborative, personalized, and pressure-free. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the appointment. Another huge plus is that they offer dress rentals, which is a fantastic budget-friendly option for brides. 10/10 experience--highly recommend to any bride looking for a fun, comfortable, and supportive dress-shopping experience!

    My experience with Masako Bridal was smooth sailing from first try on, thru fitting/alterations to…read moredress pick up. Olivia and Rachel helped me thru the process. It took total of 5 appointments and dress pick up. Initially I liked both Jenny Yoo Martina dress ( simple, elegant style) and then Lillian West dress ( Boho floral lace style) that Rachel brought out to try on last. But for 2nd try on appointment, Jenny Yoo dress I liked was sold before I could try it on again. Their summer sale event ( all dresses discontinued from their racks on sale, so they can make room for new dress inventory) was going to occur the following week. I knew at that moment that I needed to select Lillian West dress, as my other option since there was no other dress from racks I wanted to try on from inital appointment and this appointment. The style I liked was A line, v neck with nice dress train and not too gothic, over bling out. With that summer sale, they cannot hold inventory for customers as it first come, first served when the shop opens. I selected that Lillian west dress before it sells off the racks. Rachel honored, gave me the sale price $500 with tax. With the alterations too, cost for the dress was over $1600 with total price of just under $1,000 for both dress, dress bag and alterations together. What a steal compared to show" Say yes to the dress", all the dresses at Kleinfield cost way more and other dress shops on the island. With the fittings, seeing both the dress with wedding veil I bought from Etsy seller along with the pearl drop earrings from Amazon, image of me as bride was stunning and made me feel like I'm ready to say I do. Masako held onto the dress until day before my December wedding as I was nervous if my cats destroy my dress happiness. I got many compliments from friends, family and my husband's co-workers who thought that dress was beautiful along with make up, hair style I had done. Very glad I went with Masako and genuinely recommend to future and engaged gals to come here if you are budget friendly shopper as the managers will work with your budget and provide recommendations. Please make an appointment online as they are appointment only, no walk in are allowed. Parking is at Whole Foods parking lot and walk over. But if you are picking up dress or having it cleaned/preserved, you are allowed to park in their assigned stalls, that way you do not carry that heavy thing across the street.

    Bookoff Pearlridge... what can I say? Cheap books, cheap movies, cheap games, and cheap whatever…read moreelse they sell lol. Sadly we don't have many bookstores on the island, there is of course Barnes and Noble, Bookoff, bookends, and few other stores. After Borders closed, we don't have many places to go to buy brand new books except for Walmart or Target. However, there are many good finds here and a chance to give some used books/media/toys a new home. The staff here are very nice, though of course they don't have a system catalog here. But that's part of the fun, the treasure hunting fun. You never know what you may find. Bookoff also has a buyback counter, where you can sell your used movies, books, etc. but just be aware they are like the old saying where they only offer pennies on the dollar. So you won't make a lot of money selling here. But if you just want to get rid of stuff and make some money, this may be a good option for you.

    Shoots, This Place is the So Da Bomb! Came in yesterday with two shopping carts stuffed with books…read moreand honestly didn't know what to expect -- but wow, this place totally exceeded my expectations! The owner greeted me right away with that warm, aloha spirit energy. No attitude, no long drawn-out process. She got straight to scanning my old dusty books while I waited, and when she was done, she texted me -- yes, texted me -- to let me know. Walked up, got my receipt, got my quote. Super professional, super smooth. Here's the best part: while I was waiting, I browsed around and found three gifts for my grandchildren that I knew they'd love. So in one trip I freed up a ton of space at home from books that had been taking up way too much room and knocked out some gift shopping. Win-win-win! The whole setup is easy too -- rolled the carts right from my car into the store, no stress. My friend was chillin' in the massage chair outside the whole time, so nobody's time was wasted. I was originally just gonna dump everything at Goodwill. So glad I didn't. I'm already planning to come back with my old DVDs and CDs just sitting my shed in the backyard. If you've got stuff collecting dust at home, bring it here first. You might walk out with cash in your pocket and a smile on your face. Highly recommend. 5/5, no question!

    I haven't been to Chadlou's since their move to their new location. Unfortunately, my recent…read moreexperience at ChadLou's Coffee Shop in Kaneohe wasn't what I remembered it being. The coffee was clumpy and had noticeable bits of espresso or chocolate debris in the drink, which made the texture unpleasant. The worker was very nice and friendly, so I have no complaints about the service. Their indoor space felt a little crammed as customers were left confused as to where to wait for their drinks. Indoor seating is gone. There used to be a lot of space that added a lot to the ambiance and made ChadLou's feel like a cozy place to enjoy a coffee. Without it, the atmosphere just doesn't feel the same anymore.

It's been a while since I've been here...coffee for takeaway though there is an outdoor patio where seating is available. They sell donuts from L'ili'i Donuts - vegan fare. I mispronounced the name of the bakery...but so did the barista, definitely a tongue-twister. I've had them before at the Kailua Farmers Market. It's a bit dry but tasty. They also offer Sage Creamery pints and cups,...that are tantamount to a Keiki-sized portion. B I had a donut...good...and a keiki cup...very good. If it seems that I am on a quest to find every available retail spot on Oahu to acquire some ice cream from Sage's...well, you are wise to my endeavor. Ube Crinkle was amazfreezing. Traditional macchiato was good.
