Been away

I sort of promised people I would update more often. And then there's facebook. This seems to be a more intimate connection, if we can call it that. I put things out, and I have no idea who reads them. But there aren't all these ways to interact with little games and quizzes and whatever. And I like that. On occaision, someone will leave a note. And that's nice. It's also nice to be able to write more than 140 characters. Still really, am I just telling you about my day? Maybe. (I dropped the  kids off, went to church, picking up the kids...) Really, do we really need to be that connected? Before phones, we just did things. We set times, met, and acted. There was none of this pseudo bs meta commentary on what we're doing while we're doing it.  

Maybe I'll go back to writing postcards. And sending them. Randomly. Carrier pidgeons. Tin cans and twine. I still want to do something with phonebooths.

XOXOXO.

Mixed Plate!

Ok, who's really home to watch the news? Not me.

NabeMixedPlate!

Hope you are all doing well. Much love.

nabe is forever

I had nabe with Pamela Young this morning at The Contemporary Museum. This will air Tuesday June 16, at 6:00pm KITV 4 news, as part of her "Mixed Plate" series. Check it. I hope I don't look too silly. 

Thank you!

Thank you everyone for coming out to TCM yesterday for nabe. The event couldn't have been on a more beautiful day. Nabe, overlooking Honolulu, can't complain. Thanks again.

Nabe at The Contemporary Museum...

Hey Good People, 

There's a little confusion, on my part. Ok, if you would like to have public nabe with me at The Contemporary Museum, please call Inger Tully, at 808-237-5215 to RSVP. 

Hope to see you. We'll have nabe, make friends. You can ask me all the hard questions you want. Maybe I won't have an answer, but I'll have some hot nabe in a bowl for you. 

Mat Kubo.

Nabe at The Contemporary Museum

Hey there, 

I'm having another nabe event at The Contemporary Museum this Saturday, around 12:30, and lasting for about two hours. I'll have seats for ten people, but last time I did this people came and went. Call 808.526.1322 to make reservations, or just show up. If you are 20-29, entry is free. If not, call me and I can probably get you in somehow. 

This is in conjunction with the 20 Going On 21 exhibition that runs until June 21. 

Someone out there had contacted me about having nabe. I've been trying to reach you, but I always get the "the subscriber you are trying to reach is not available or out of the service area" message. If this is you, call me: 808.554.3615. I hope you can make it to the nabe event this Saturday. You had asked me some insightful questions, and it would be great to make that a part of the larger discourse. 

It seems too hot to make nabe right now. 

Hope you all are enjoying summer.

Nabe!

Jolene Oshiro wrote a fantastic piece about my nabe adventures.
