My latest Gridskipper dispatch from Hawaii was posted today:

The Brady Bunch Guide to Honolulu

Gerrit and I used to watch The Brady Bunch on WLVI 56 almost nightly. I usually skipped the Hawaii episodes, however, because Vincent Price and the cursed tiki gave me the creeps.

Margaret and I will have another post here in the next day or so that details what we’ve been up to recently. Ironically, when we’re doing a lot of cool stuff, we don’t have the time to write about it. But when nothing interesting happens, blog posts abound.

Normally my articles for Gridskipper have to be about Washington, DC, as correspondents are assigned to cover their home city. But I guess because we’re here for 45 days, I qualify as a kamaaina (Hawaiian for a non-native who has lived in the islands for a long time), and my editor was cool enough to let me write a few posts about Hawaii.

My first one was posted today:

Drink with Locals at the Pro Bowl

(Now, apparently there are sentiments circulating on the Internets that we do a lot of drinking; that’s not the case. We just like to drink, and sometimes it’s my job to do so, so we write about it a lot.)

Later this week I’ll be reporting on the NFL Pro Bowl for Deadspin. I’ll have a post Friday that covers the pre-game activities. And Monday’s article will cover the game and Saturday night’s Pro Bowl All-Star Block Party.

Right now I’m off to downtown Honolulu to work and watch the Pro Bowl Week Kick-off Rally.

Clearly Margaret and I were thrilled with the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Not only was it a beautiful venue for our wedding, but the staff was fantastic.

Today I was able to give them a little publicity in a post I wrote for Gridskipper:

DC Museums Worth the Price of Admission

I also reviewed The Phillips Collection and International Spy Museum, which Margaret and I recommended on our To Do in DC page.

Apparently several of you asked my mother this question during our wedding weekend. Her answer: “I’m not sure, but as he doesn’t ask us for money, I’m not worried.”

Well played, Mom, well played.

I am a freelance writer, editor, and consultant (an intentionally vague term). If you’re interested in specifics, check out the services page on my website.

As for who pays me, I just got a new freelance gig writing for Gridskipper, “the decadent urban travel guide; scouring the globe for chic hotels, hot restaurants, sweet nightlife, and pretty people.”

You can read my posts at http://gridskipper.com/travel/zach-everson/. Please remember they can be “decadent” (it’s a job requirement).

Other recent clients include:

And Mom: you can send me money anytime you want.
