Back-to-School Jam

So, how's traffic?

Aloha

"hey, guys...I don't have a blog, so I can't start a thread! Could someone start a thread about using the word Aloha... I want to start a discussion. Thanks..."

Ok, aureservoir, go for it.

Chain Me Up, Chain Me Down

I wish it weren't so, but I just LOVE the gigantic bookstores at Waikele, Ward Centre, and Kahala Mall. What's not to love? Huge selection, good prices, great service, and an atmosphere that encourages browsing and taking one's time.

Wal*Mart! Twenty-four hours a day and lots of parking! Tower Records! Open every day of the year! Starbucks! One on every corner! Blockbuster! Lots and lots of copies of new mainstream releases!

Believe me, I want to support local small businesses, and I'm even willing to sacrifice some of the advantages I get from shopping at these national chains, but where can I go?

Like Wintergreen Altoids, but for your head

I've gone to Regis Salon twice and have enjoyed their service. Though somewhat more pricey compared to other hair stylist establishments, I personally find it worth it.

What makes it worth the 25 greenbacks? The shampoo and conditioner treatment I recieved each time I've gone (I'll assume it's part of the service). They used the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner and I love it! It's like Wintergreen Altoids for your head.

Eating places that are open all the time

Sin suggested that a new topic be started on places to eat that are open 24 hours or have late night hours.

Of course Like Like Drive Inn is at the start of that list, it's open 24 hours a day.

Belated 50th Birthday Party

Like Like Drive Inn. I think I've eaten there more than anywhere else in town, except for the mainline (mainland) fastfood franchises. Had a 4th of July lunch there with Helen this year, and I think I wondered then how long the place has been around. Long time, more than most of you folks have been.

My favorite meal there is the hot roast beef sandwich, mashed potatoes and gravy ... yummm. They do a very decent grilled cheese sandwich, too. And the iced tea (infinite refills) is also most excellent.

Actors Sought

Vertov Industries, makers of the award-winning SLEEPLESS tv anthology, is holding an open casting call for lead, support and extra roles in an independent movie to be shot locally through September and October for film festival competition. ALL TYPES WELCOME. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE NOT REQUIRED.
