Brazil 66
Saturday (Aug. 15), 10pm, Casanova, Makawao
Some promoters—lets say, a certain shall-remain-nameless, early-August Big Show listing—might, with strong presale yields, up the at-door ticket price the night of the event and have to split the venue early to "lessen the chance of getting jumped," scooting off-island with a pile of dough (gotta love the text message gossip). Other promoters might take the wad and run to Rio. Fortunately in this case, the bucks benefiting this "Brazilian Dream Party" will help the non-profit Jungle to Jungle purchase Amazonian trek-able techie gear, various waterproofing apparatuses and malaria medication. What for? Well, the rather righteous cause of exploring the Amazon River from end to end and transmitting their findings through newfangled technologies to the students of Kalama Intermediate School. If that's not impressive, the fundraising means are. Saturday's Carnaval-themed celebration will feature feather-festooned, nearly-naked ladies, the athletic acrobatics of Rio Maui, the West Side's capoeira group, a bunch of DJs boasting funky favela styling, themed body painting by the talented Rachel DeBoer and even Brazilian waxing. Ouch. That might hurt, but the price—benefit or no—won't. $12/$10 with costume.
