Kaua'i

that’s where i’m from! i run the /kauai channel that no one ever posts in. 

i’ve got a bunch of friends at CB. also had the pleasure of meeting Ariana at a launch party Pierre put on for HuffPo. were you at that party at Pacific Club?

I worked out of the CB office for a couple years when I first joined Huffpost (HuffPost Hawaii), still have lots of friends there
