(PHOTO: The Open Market every Saturday in downtown Hilo.)

One of my most favorite peeps in the world, Frank M., asked me to help him w/ an in-store merchandise display job at the Walmarts in both Hilo and Kona. So we flew over Early Friday and tackled the Kona store. We worked Furiously Fast and Hard to get that display up and done! Then we drove via Rental Car on the Saddle Road at Night splitting a 6-pack (YES THERE IS A GOD THAT PROTECTS IDIOTS!!!) to Hilo... We hung out Furiously Hard that night in about 3 clubs! Woke up Saturday morning feeling Furiously like Helll, but worked Fast and Hard once again at the Hilo Store. Drove back over to Kona via the Saddle Road (averaged 65+mph!) & managed to catch our flight back to Oahu.

Hard Work, Hard Fun, but we had lots of fun! I'm proud of ya Frank! ; )

    Flipside Too, no longer exists. It was demolished in 2008 to provide space for an addition to the KTA parking lot.The original owners have opened a new near by bar called 100oxie. More information can be found at www.hilonightlife.com.
