street team AND shirts. crazy.
before i forget — FINALLY, the shirts are up on the website. check them out! we can ship them anywhere.
http://www.kinagrannis.com/merch.html
okay!
so we’ve done a lot of talking about it, but i think it’s time we make this happen! no sense in waiting around.
i sat down this weekend and had a brainstorm session, and between that and all the suggestions i received from a number of you, i think this is going to be the most super awesome street team ever.
intrigued? wondering if you can play the part?
- anyone can be on the street team! if helping spread the word and getting in on some cool “missions” i’ve planned sounds fun to you, that’s all that counts.
- in a different country? doesn’t mean a thing. you can still be a super awesome member of the kg street team.
- joining doesn’t necessarily mean a big time commitment, but your participation is important to help fulfill the purpose of the street team.
- and of course, there will perks for your efforts. :)
so if you think this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, shoot me an email at streetteam@kinagrannis.com and i’ll send you some more information and the “registration form.” the “registration form” is not as scary as it sounds, it just amused me to call it something so professional sounding. haha.
i could’ve gone into more detail… but i want to keep things exciting.
questions? comments? suggestions? just want to get going already?
email streetteam@kinagrannis.com
thanks for being really awesome people.

May 12th, 2008 at 2:10 am
Dang, that’d be cool to see you perform, and Chris Cendana too! Too bad I’m leaving for Hawaii the day after Kina’s performance…..
Oh well, you can’t have em all =/
May 12th, 2008 at 2:11 am
wow, its just one of those nights were my posts….dont actually get posted when i press the “save” button.
hopefully it comes back to life later… the main part was thank you for the birthday shoutout, this weds. should be…interesting?
the fashion was bomb-diddly, and your cover was once again…wonderful…
…back to sleep.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:11 am
i cannot sleep because i have the worst sleeping habits ever… it’s like that one movie with christian bale where he doesnt sleep.
two days in a row i’ve been averaging like 4 hours a sleep each day… u would think that would make just knock out today but i cant… i have the worst sleeping habits…
May 12th, 2008 at 2:13 am
chris cendana has the most infectious smile ever lol
thats what ur truly missing out on… his dimples just scream out to you… they do to me
sorry kina for posting comments like this is a chat haha
lol… i cannot sleep =T
May 12th, 2008 at 2:13 am
You’re telling me..i work 12 hours over night and my sleep is ALL outta wack but i had the same thing start happening to me like 5 hours sleep was AWESOME for me…
May 12th, 2008 at 2:16 am
What time zone you in miko?
May 12th, 2008 at 2:16 am
Equilibrium? That was an interesting movie. If that’s the one you’re talking about.
Sleep? Ha, I don’t know what that is. I’m either awake, working, eating, or any combination of the 3.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
chicago. central time zone… its 418AM
May 12th, 2008 at 2:18 am
lol its nice to know im not the only one haha
May 12th, 2008 at 2:18 am
oh ok you are only hour behind me. PA here
May 12th, 2008 at 2:23 am
so IRONMAN was a great movie!! has anyone seen speed racer yet?
May 12th, 2008 at 2:29 am
i took my mom out to see MADE OF HONOR with my sister and bro in law…
i am 26, i am an emcee/rapper dude… and i cried when he kissed her at the wedding
why did i cry? well not all out cuz my mom was in my chair next to me… lol
May 12th, 2008 at 2:33 am
well…. if we all posted like this on youtube her video would easily be one of the most discussed…
May 12th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Lol i saw made of honor before i saw ironman…and yea i got teary eyed so dont feel bad haha it was a good movie! haha
May 12th, 2008 at 2:39 am
Hmmm, actually, thats not a bad idea.
So…. how about one week, we simply take all of our random and silly discussions, and bring them into Kina’s video for the week?
It’ll move her up the ranks in Youtube’s Awards system, and get her some more extra viewership, leading to more exposure :)
Nice Nimur, nice…..
May 12th, 2008 at 2:40 am
i love you austin… i always have i always will…
lol
May 12th, 2008 at 2:44 am
i love you too miko. Austin + Miko = Brotherly Love ♥ 4ever
HAHA
us guys who arent affraid to show emotion must stick together haha
May 12th, 2008 at 2:46 am
Man, I’m kinda mad that I haven’t seen Iron Man yet. I rarely have time cuz I work a lot, and when I do have free time, no one wants to go with me cuz everybody’s seen it already :(.
As for Speed Racer, I’m hesitant to want to see it. It’s just not the same as what I’m used to seeing when I was a kid, watching the cartoon.
In honesty though, as long as I see the new Indiana Jones on opening night, then I pretty much don’t have to see any other movie for the rest of the year.
Except maybe Dark Knight. But that’s it.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Yea im hesitant too about speed racer but i heard it was pretty awesome! so i dunno what to think
Ironman is a must see man!! ill go with ya! haha
And the new indiana jones and batman is going to be insane!!! I kinda feel bad becuase my first reaction when i heard heath ledger died was man what are they going to do about dark knight then i found out it was already done filming then i moved onto sadness lol
Does anyone have Drive-in movie theatres around them??
May 12th, 2008 at 2:56 am
Oooo! There’s two by me! One in Baldwin Park (kinda sketchy area), and one in… Claremont I think. The Claremont one only has the tinny sounding little speaker you attach to your window though, and it’s not usually loud enough. I’d rather go to the Baldwin Park one, cuz they have radio frequencies you can tune in to to listen to the movie.
Problem is, my car got broken into some months ago, and they stole my radio (among other things, including photography equipment =/) so I wouldn’t have a radio to tune into, haha.
May 12th, 2008 at 2:57 am
kina, me too! thanks so much - like you say hapa, we say he’s halo-halo ;-)
May 12th, 2008 at 3:04 am
aww man that stinks! you should buy a little FM tuner with headphones that would work
May 12th, 2008 at 3:14 am
mmmm, halo halo. I like mine with jackfruit and extra macapuno. yum.
May 12th, 2008 at 4:17 am
that does sound good! no where to get that around here but i guess i could shave the ice and make my own. dang, you made me miss my mom again
May 12th, 2008 at 5:27 am
crazy indeed. we’re getting all the rain out of the way for you today so you can enjoy the rest of the week. it’s gonna be mid 60s, cloudyish (not too yucky). possibly rain on friday night and sunday night (can’t wait to see nobody at my bpc show haha).
oh and this song. OH! YOU GO GIRL! haha. i was just thinking “hmmm.. Glow In The Dark Tour (Kanyeezy, Lupe, N.E.R.D, Rihanna) is tomorrow and I don’t know any Rihanna songs! Well thanks for prepping me a little bit. Anyone else going?
well, i’ll see ya in a bit. safe trip! wouldn’t it be just dandy if i was one of those embarrassing guys with the giant welcoming sign in the airport? haha. lucky queens has two airports.
Everyone to Fontana’s!
Ahhhh look at your eyeball!
May 12th, 2008 at 5:50 am
i saw iron man and i heard speed racer was very good!
May 12th, 2008 at 5:54 am
hey kina!
i love that song. rihannas one of my favorites…it is rihanna right? haha
well
about your shirts, it says that you recommend a size bigger. im like a M/L sshould i get L? or XL? yeah
you should do a show in orlando june 22-27 since im going there for vacation.
your eyeball is huge in the camera haha.
well goin off to school now. see ya later!
May 12th, 2008 at 7:18 am
e-mail sent!
oh yeah, check your facebook inbox!
some cool stuff that I think you’d really enjoy
talk to you later, don’t be a stranger
May 12th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Yuck. It’s been raining here too. Yesterday the tornado siren went off for an hour and I was just on the edge of where a tornado warning was.
May 12th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Shooting an email =D
Awesome song and I think that was the fastest modeling I have ever seen. I’m getting one of the shirts soon.
I wish I could be going to Fontana’s =[ I drove to NY/NJ three times last year and my travel funds are low, to say the least. I’ve been telling my East Coast friends about it though!
Ah, eyeball!
May 12th, 2008 at 7:56 am
lol the only one I’m looking forward to is The Dark Knight and then Iron Man on DVD. I’ve actually been hearing good things about Speed Racer though. That wasn’t expected.
May 12th, 2008 at 8:09 am
I am usually a medium to large tshirt depending on how tight I want the shirt. I got a large one and its pretty form fitting like most medium shirts are(so ordering up=good unless you like tight shirts)…its only tight on one area (sux to be a girl)…My boyfriend got large also, because they didn’t have XL at the time, and he’s been wearing it to sleep to stretch it out.
BTW loving the changing scenery in the vid, and the song was a happy get lost sorta thing. I like that type to start the day :)
May 12th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Y’know, it’s funny, there’s 41 comments, which is impressive, but it’s all from the same five people which…is great. It makes me smile.
Nice song, solidly enjoyable video. Although, Kina, you’re aided by the fact that even though you’re apparently playing the most popular songs out there right now I live under a rock and so they’re new to me.
If I get this job this week, I shall have to buy the heart-hands shirt (far and away the coolest). And if the stars really align, I may even be an hour’s drive from NYC on Saturday. That’d be neat…
God bless us, everyone :)
May 12th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Oh man, Glow In The Dark was so sick!!!
I was at the San Diego leg of the tour, and the whole place was just nuts for like 3 hours. I’m in the same boat as you though, I didn’t know any Rihanna songs either, lol.
Have fun at the show tomorrow (today?)
May 12th, 2008 at 10:17 am
this is adorable :)
May 12th, 2008 at 10:19 am

May 12th, 2008 at 10:21 am
MEEKS!!! congrats. i knew you’d win it :) i am so so happy for you!
May 12th, 2008 at 10:24 am

I HART YOU DRO! THANK YOU
i was listening to your web remix take one on ur myspace like 10 times last nite… its so good
i wanted to throw that in there lol
May 12th, 2008 at 10:35 am
No way!! How awesome is that?!?! Man, we’re so good at winning contests here!!! So do you get free Tide for life now?
Congratulations!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:03 am
congratulations miko! Happy for you man!
Kina,
I bought 2 shirts. One for me and one for my sister. are you going to sign them? Thanks!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Really? I heard speed racer was awful. Iron Man might be the best superhero movie ever. I don’t know, though, I’m waiting on The Dark Knight to make that judgment
May 12th, 2008 at 11:12 am
usually, people don’t consider me “lucky” because I’m in a wheelchair. Now that gas prices have gotten so high, many of them are probably giving it a second thought.
(I hate having to do this, but I feel like I need to give you all permission to laugh. Sometimes my sense of humor about the whole thing can make people uncomfortable, but hey, it doesn’t bother me. After 20 years you’ve heard everything.)
/soapbox over
May 12th, 2008 at 11:16 am
congratulations on the win, Miko!! I have some laundry to do. Can I get some tide? I know you owe Mama G first, but how bout a stain-fighting hook up
May 12th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Woohoo! for brainstorms…
The video this week earns extra kudos since it was so much more that your usual flair.
I must be spending more time outside my cave than I normally do since ‘Take a Bow’ I have heard of… ironically, it was mentioned as a potential for some of the volunteer stuff I do.
You have nice digs and I love your creativeness… regarding your ‘turn on the catwalk’, nice moves… I’ll look into getting a shirt. Do you think you will have any hats (baseball caps, etc.)? Maybe a ‘kg’ hat or ‘guitar girl’ or something… then you can have ‘Kina Grannis’ or kinagrannis.com on the back if you want to get even more creative.
An ‘application form’… heh, cool beans… just don’t sell my info to the mafia or other infamous organizations too quickly, we should negotiate the terms of my ’services’ then you can get a better price ;-)
May 12th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
wooooo. congrats!!! do the laundry dance.
May 12th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
i laughed ;x
i need cheap plane tix cuz i’d probably be a zombie after the drive over anyway (8 hours) lol
May 12th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Congratulations!!! And it is well deserved. You did a great job. That is awesome.
May 12th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
im excited for the street team.
also, if the forums get set up that would be the best!
May 12th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
!!!! that is so awesome! :D i’m so, so happy for you and you deserved it!
May 12th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
…wow. my father and i must be related. i just realized i typed almost the same response as he did…hah
May 12th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
@ Kina
Sadly I have not listened to Rihanna in a while, but Kina you did an amazing job on this cover and now I know how to play it on my guitar from your video. The Street team sounds like fun I can’t wait to join and be involved, I already told all my friends and family about you though so I don’t know who else to tell about your greatness. When you were talking about the shirts not being manly I laughed because in last weeks video comments I said I was kind of nervous about buying a shirt because I thought they might be a tad bit less manly that I would like, but I am slowly being persuaded to buy one by my inner conscience.
@ emceemiko
Your video was so hilarious I didn’t get a chance to vote for it before the contest ended, but if I did vote for it I would have voted continually until my mouse died haha, the last part of the video was funny to me when you were holding up the tide stick thing.
May 12th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
AHH i’m lookin at your eyeballl.
that’s not awkward right?
fashion so was off the hook. you should be a model. you change fast. that’s the TRUE mark of a good model.

“It’s Love” by Chris Knox. You should sing it, Kina!! It’s awesome. Or at least go listen to it. : ]
May 12th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Ahh! off to go run :P
May 12th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
OMG MEEKS! AWESOME NEWS! You deserved the win…. did an awesome job! YAY!!!!

Real men wear Kina shirts.
May 12th, 2008 at 6:07 pm

May 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
i foresee myself rockin the guitar girl tee on stage and someone asking me where i got that = P
oh and kina, considering our prior t-shirt arrangement, save me a sz large pls = )
May 12th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
great video!! (as always) the way you did the shout outs and birthdays was really creative. kudos on that too.
can’t wait to join the street team!
May 12th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
that is true Mama G so with your wise words of wisdom I think I will be purchasing one soon, and if anyone asks me why am I wearing a shirt with hands in a heart shape or a guitar girl, I can say “Mama G said these shirts are for real men” and then walk away and let them look at the kina grannis name on the back and search her on google and after listening to one of her unbelievable songs understand why these shirts are so cool haha, and hopefully they will buy some shirts or/and cd’s
May 12th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Back from Maryland. You’re famous there too now. ^.^
May 12th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
I’ll see you @ FONTANa’S your great, love your music.

May 12th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
woohoo! see you there :)
May 12th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
hmm, so im curious what size you wear in those shirts because on your website you said they run small, and i think id be the same size as you…
and i really liked that song, however, you never told us what its called! what is it?
May 12th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Love the new blog…so excited about the street team.
oh I really liked the way you did the shout outs and birthdays, very unique!
It’s late, need to get to bed.
Take Care,
Jen :)
May 12th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
We could always make a manlier Kina shirt. I’m envisioning Kina with sorta a Paul Bunyan-esque look, wrestling alligators. I’d buy one
May 13th, 2008 at 1:17 am
Awesome job as always, and I WILL! be purchasing at least 2 of each shirt 1 black,1 white probably or whatever interesting colors i can choose from lol for both, Also do you know if they will have 2XL cuz im not thee smallest person in the world 6″3 weigh 270 lol, and i will get around to going to one of your shows these days but i lack a vehicle and my escalegs won’t get me there quick enough lol, Another thing i will be sending you an email sometime tomorrow about the street team, WE NEED KG SUPPORTERS!!! you, your music, and well just everything about you just astounds me, lol not trying 2 do any butt kissing but it is very well deserved. Peace,love and Kina Grannis!!!! lol im in a surprisingly energetic/sleepy mood, keep doing what you do :)

May 13th, 2008 at 1:20 am
just checked the t shirt site again and they do have xxl now lol before they only had xl that was fast lol
May 13th, 2008 at 1:24 am
but i also just read that the sizes run small so i guess ill wait till they have 3XL lol dang i feel stupid for this excess posting, so if you can tell me when they have sizes 3XL or 4XL since the 3XL would be a 2XL and the 4XL would be a 3XL,loose fit clothes 2 me are thee most comfortable lol,again excuse my excess/tired posting
May 13th, 2008 at 4:27 am
word. lemme kno when you got like 7xl available. i can use a new blanket.
May 13th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
ATTENTION ALL KINA GRANNIS FANS
U MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!
WELL AT LEAST THE END OF IT HAHAHA
it’s a game called TAG… similar to what we did with the top 5 favorite songs..
this is one of the most popular games (actually this is THE most popular game) currently on youtube
those unfamiliar with the TAGGED GAME youtube style it goes like this
1) if someone “tags” you, you gotta make a video of 5 facts about yourself. the 5 facts could be about anything… anything. lol
2) then you tag 5 other people to do the same.. and it spreads like the gospel hahaha….
3) well anyways… look at my tagged video, particularly those who i tagged LMAO
i heart you kina hahahaahahaha

May 13th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
MIKO!!! YOUR ROCK MY SOCKS OFF
May 13th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
she has the lyrics for it though ;D
May 13th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Congrats Miko! When’s the commercial going to air? I’ll have to add it to my growing Two Weeks video collection!
May 13th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
haha that was awesome miko!!! im a die hard EAGLES FAN!!! you beat us last year and it was heart breaking…haha
yo miko check out my channel http://www.youtube.com/ACMusic7

hey! i prefer to wear the medium. more comfrotable
May 13th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Haha, that’d be so sweet, a Kina blanket. How cool would that be?
May 13th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
i’m sure we’ll have some XLs, and if not, i might just have to order some more :)
May 13th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
ok correction– yes, we have xxls, but thats it however, timmy is right. i think someday well need a blanket too.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
hey all– just heard word of the first fan site!
http://www. bebo. com/kinagrannis

May 13th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
OMG! E A G L E S Eagles!!! I thought I was the only die hard fan here! Whoo Austin!!!
Playoffs this year, right? :)
We only needed to win one more game last year and we would’ve made it to the playoffs. Oh well, I’m still happy the Patriots lost. That was my only real concern, lol.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Would you be slightly creeped out knowing that one day hundreds of people might one day be sleeping under blankets with your face on them?
Weird…..
But then again, I grew up in the 80’s, where merchandise like that was plentiful. I don’t think its like that so much anymore.
May 13th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
kina!
does it bother u that the band members is not ur picture?
im sorry it bothers me… i think it is fraudulent. i am calling the cops.

I saw that myself, and I wondered what was going on. Of course I have no idea what bebo is, so I’m a little lost as to the whole situation going on. Is it a social networking site?
May 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
agreed
May 13th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
yeah, bebo is another social networking site

yeah EAGLES!
playoffs should be easy if everyone is healthy…
they should have beat GB week1. didnt anyone tell reed he doesnt have to catch the ball..
missed b.dawk vs chi..
worst superbowl matchup ever….
who won..? oh yeah, kina won the superbowl.
May 13th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I have a request for a whole video that Kina should do, I think Kina should make a whole “cribs” episode where she walks around her house and gives a tour of her huge house, because in every video she is somewhere new, it’s like her house is in some magical wonderland where her house just grows new rooms every week. Or maybe Mama G and Dr G are super rich and can keep expanding their house. Has anyone else thought of this? Or am I just weird?
May 13th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
We wish we were super rich (we’d have a big house party and invite all of you!). All I can say is that we strive for a unique environment….that’s why you see walls of every color behind Kina in the videos. And unfortunately, a cribs episode will never happen. We are SO not prepared to clean house. :P
May 14th, 2008 at 12:21 am
yeah serious….that house is friggin baller. If i didnt spend so much on cars i would probably have a half decent house but not as wicked as yours lol
May 14th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Sorry Mama G, I haven’t been up to date–what’s the e-mail thingy for?
May 14th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I dunno, my sister has an Nsync blanket…Although I’m beginning to lose track of how old they are….
May 14th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
thanks. gonna go order one right now. i love the one with the little guitar girl on it :)
May 14th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
haha Mama G I can see you planning a whole party for the bla(h)g too. That would be one intense party. I bet the house is clean and you think it is unclean but it is such a huge house that it must be quite a chore to keep that whole house clean, but from what I’ve seen the house looks spick and span to me lol.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
email me and find out! :)
May 14th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
i have no idea when… i just know july through sept. lol =)
i will keep u posted and mama g posted haha
per kina’s twitter - SHE HAS LANDED SAFELY IN NYC!
i wonder what it wouldve been like for the two people who sat next to kina on the plane…
i wonder if they noticed you! lol
what wouldve been dope is if the person next to kina was jamming out to his/her ipod and just humming “bum bum bum bum”
and kina looked over, didnt mention anything and looked back down in front of her in thanks and it faded out… haha. sorry im picturing a dope kina commercial for some reason hahahaahaha
my favorite thing to eat in NYC are those street food vendors in nyc all over times square that sell those beef things on sticks and hot dog bread lol
does anyone know what im talking about haha
May 14th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Correction, there are no XXLs.
May 14th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
i guess i should have tried those beef things…
instead we followed around a guy from jersey that said he knew of this good japanese restaurant and ended up at yoshinoya….
so of course we ate at chevy’s next door. too hungry to walk back to the carts.
but, do you think those beef things are better than chicago dogs..?
May 15th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Gorgeous song, Kina. And fabulous shout out/birthday idea!
May 15th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Miko, are you in LA yet?
I’m in Chicago! Midway airport to be precise right now. waiting on rental cars haha. oh to be 25…
May 15th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I AM IN CHICAGO!
midway is okayyy. it’s all about ohare! lol
ORD is the big dawg! lol
get a slice of pizza while ur here! LOU MALNATI’S THE BEST PIZZA IN THE COUNTRY!
May 15th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
@Kina (& everyone)
I was also thinkin’…. we need to start pushing for your music on the radio, too. Online is great, esp for us… but get one of your songs playing on KROQ, and your exposure to new listeners will go through the ROOF.
What do you think/where are you at in getting a demo CD out to radio stations?
-wwar1ace
P.s. I’ve been away since Sat, sorry for chiming in so late. ;-)
May 15th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
@deana
You ever been to Ohana on Sandy? They might have shaved-ice…. I’ve only been there once and don’t remember. But I see there’s also a Kauai Isladn Grill on Murray.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Congrats Miko… :-p
May 15th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
hey kina! what’s up everybody?
May 15th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
the beauty of wishing is tantalizing. its the notion that you could fancy a myriad of things such as wealth, peace, success, etc. and that can never be taken away from you. its the belief that it is possible for such things to be within reach. its is more and less conceivable under certain circumstances due to the norms of the daily lifestyle but all in all it shares a common hunger; a common craving. you say you wish to be super rich so that we could have a big house party and theres no doubt in mind you could if you wanted to. at the same time we understand everyones got other things to do, places to be, and yadda yadda “to each his own”? haha i do admire that phrase miko.
the important thing Mama G, is to know that the lack or lack thereof, if any…for lack of a better description, the budget to throw such a super duper party for everyone is offset by the richness of your unique environment, your beautiful family, and the unity of one grannis brain. i think i speak for everyone when i say that the loving character and positive principles that you and Dr G portray, and have instilled into your daughters, is very touching and exemplary. makes me miss my parents even more…yall are some cool, rad folks.
i guess i should end my yapping by letting you know some things go unforseen. things that can be a pleasant surprise. you never know whether someone has been taken aback by your kindness so much so that youve got a big inheritance waiting in their will in token of appreciation. anyways, im most likely not telling you something you dont already know…just food for thought. its like they say all the time, “be careful what you wish for”, but in this case keep wishing…you may just end up with the means to make it happen.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
sorry that says anonymous… weird. i mustve cleaned out my cookies or something
i love cookies… chips ahoy… the red bag… yummmmm…
May 15th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
I don’t know if Kina’s style is KROQish… I think it’s more Star 98.7. Or maybe even KOST! I would totally love to ask Karen Sharp to play Message From Your Heart on Love Songs on the KOST…. =D
May 15th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
So when exactly do you grace us with your presence here in LA? We should like…. do things. We’ll go around bumpin Kina’s songs all over the streets of LA, like the gangsters we are.
May 15th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Hey Kina’s Tervoo’s up
And my question fell one crap-for-brains vote short. zut alors.
Ah well, I like the questions that made it, mostly. And, assuming her presence on the east coast doesn’t cause the very fabric of space and time to unravel, I get to see a real live Kina on Saturday. good times
May 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Thanks for the beautiful sentiments *wipes away tear*
May 15th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Now i have to go get some pizza!
May 15th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Looking forward to see Kina perform live @ Fontana’s
May 15th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
haha awesome! thanks man, you rock seriously.

Its always so long from monday to monday(especially because school has been crazy lately)! I really like having the radio shows inbetween. Okay, I’ll stop procrastinating now….gotta study for finals! :)
May 16th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
@Kina
Commencement was today… you’ve been out for a year. How do you feel?
Kind of a whirlwind, huh?
-wwar1ace
May 16th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
*Sniff*… I feel left out.
(and we don’t even know what it’s for)

May 16th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
did anyone here watch the office season finale???
if you havent us and expressly wish for us not to utter a single word about it, please let me know LOL
May 16th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
My sister and her boyfriend graduated from USC today, that main ceremony was crazy I could barely see anything. The other ceremony for the majors was interesting, I was amazed at what some of those people were taking as major’s and minor’s. The heat was killing me though, at least I didn’t pass out like some not so lucky others. I wonder what Kina’s minor’s were?
May 16th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
@ Kina
Would you mind giving a belated b-day shout out to my lil’ sis this next Monday? You can just call her “Baby ABD”, and today’s her 29th berfday.
I JUST got her computer fixed (had no sound) during my Mother’s Day visit… so now she can finally catch your Youtube productions. Till now, all she had were the CD’s I picked up at your Hotel Cafe show.
Thanks,

i know, right? i wanna email somebody! hahaha
May 16th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Haha, best line of the episode…
“You were cheating on me?!?! Even when I specifically told you not to?!?!”
AHAHAHAHA.
Oh man, I don’t think I’d ever be able to work with a real life Michael Scott. Makes me glad there’s one on tv to squirm at.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:10 am
mama g! u dont like andrew?! lol
he didnt do it on purpose… my heart goes out to him though… he is a good guy, just tactless. but a good heart LOL
i am disappointed in angela and dwight. lol
michael scott: what are u doing this weekend? are you in town? cuz i’m….. not…. in town… this weekend..
hahahahaha
May 17th, 2008 at 8:02 am
I’M SO JEALOUS OF EVERYONE THAT GETS TO GO SEE KINA. TOO BAD I’M NOT 21. BOO!

Michael Scott is annoying but he has the best lines.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Okay, I guess I won’t take my frustration out on Andy. His actions are dictated by innocence and enthusiasm…. but STILL……… I wondered how they would keep us hanging in the last episode.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:22 am
AUSTIN POWERS - happy birthday!!!

Someone tell us how it went!!!!
May 17th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
oovret: NYC Edition
I’ll keep it short and simple: to encourage you to tell us more of your trip.
Which do you prefer:
subways or freeways?
Manhattan or Manhattan Beach?
65°(rain) or 95°(sunny)?
Statue of Liberty or statue of Flo-Jo?
Knicks or Lakers?
May 18th, 2008 at 12:25 am
what a night. amazing hearing you live. perfect! i thoroughly enjoyed all of it. you’re so comfortable on stage, especially with us “east coaster people”. haha.
I remember thinking “wow, she sounds exactly like she does online”. Then I realized, even though I have your CDs and all, I’m mostly very familiar with your online content of semi-live performed blogs. So all was perfect (not to mention you’re just a great musician). Nothing is worse than going to your favorite artist’s show and your favorite song wasn’t that good live. Absolutely wasn’t the case (nor did i expect it to be).
It was really a pleasure meeting you, finally. Hope you enjoy the stuff! I’ll send you our fun pics tomorrow = )
Hope to see you again tomorrow! If not, no big deal, I’ll just catch you on the wesside.
a yezzir
hi, dro.
May 18th, 2008 at 1:41 am
oh, I’m so jealous.
May 18th, 2008 at 11:49 am
i went to the concert last night too! It was so much fun and i’m so glad i finally got to meet kina. I tried to take a few videos but the speakers were too loud so the sound didn’t come out right :( I will post pictures soon though! hope you come again soon. . . lotsa love from the east coast xx
May 18th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Hey! wasn’t it great?
i was the guy in the corner with the camera set up. I’ll be uploading the videos soonly (if it’s cool with kina of course). I am missing one or two songs though because I had to switch tapes (i know i know, come prepared).
May 18th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I was there. It was really fun. Navigating NYC wasn’t so fun, but it was worth it. Cool to be sitting cross-legged* a few feet from the stage and think “She exists beyond the internet. Who knew?” I chatted a bit with Jesse the shirt-selling favor-doer (how he described himself) and said bye to Misa, but I must say, it’s strange to see internet people in real life.
Oh, and Kina, if you really want back-up can-can dancers, you could always just call for volunteers :)
*this totally supports my theory that Kina is half kindergarten teacher. And I mean that in the best way
May 18th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
did you see the japanese version of the office on snl last night?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jc9iBa0MAw
May 18th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
mama g… i was there too! u shoulda been there.
lol
jk
i’ll be at the L RAY though!
with my dad… my own dr g lol except he isnt a dr haha
i’m telling all my friends in la (all 4 of them haha) to come out and watch kina perform live!
May 18th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Happy Birthday, Austin! Do you love me now?
May 18th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Misa was there, too? Cool!
I’d like to meet Misa someday.
May 19th, 2008 at 11:51 am
I disagree… KROQ is not all “Nine Inch Nails” and bleeding-edge stuff. They mix it up quite a bit. Think Jack Johnson, or Death Cab… I think quite a few of Kina’s songs could fit in with their playlist.
Too Soon, Genevieve, Cambridge…. you get the feel.
Most importantly though, they have a huge audience.
