Arts and EntertainmentOn the DL: From stages to sitcoms to CNN talk shows, comedian DL Hughley has made the rounds.We talk story ahead of his Maui gigAugust 11, 2010 | 03:21 PMby Anuhea YagiYou've been criticized for playing to stereotypes. Here in Hawaii—from grass skirts to mai tais—we're about as stuffed with stereotypes as an apple in the mouth of a pig on a spit. What "Hawaiian" stereotype are you anticipating most?

Art SceneBetter Off 'Dead': The guys behind our quirky little comic make a quirky little book. And you should read itAugust 11, 2010 | 03:59 PMA few months ago, we started running a one-panel comic called Open Letters (check it out on page 8). Since then it's been picked up by numerous other publications, impressive considering most cash-strapped newspapers (also known as: all newspapers) are cutting comics (along with reporters, copy editors and foreign bureaus) to save money.

Picks of the Week 2August 11, 2010 | 04:46 PMby Anuhea YagiHere are a couple cool hurricane factoids, compliments of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA): Hurricanes have "a well defined circulation and sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher." And, interestingly, "the Mayan storm god was named Hunraken, [and] a god considered evil by the Taino people of the Caribbean was called Huracan." More disconcerting than interesting is the fact that the question, "Why don't we destroy tropical cyclones by |
Picks of the Week 3August 11, 2010 | 04:52 PMby Anuhea YagiIf funky doo-wop were a dish, it'd definitely be a dessert. And if that's so, the two historic Motown acts headlining this Sunday at the MACC are not mere toppings, they're the main scoop. The Temptations (a 1960 "super group" merger between The Primes and The Distants) and The Four Tops (originally The Four Aims, composed of friends from Michigan's Pershing and Northern high schools), both got their start in |
