Halloween Event Roundup


Here's the cream of the crop; check calendar for complete listings


Halloween

October 29, 2009
The Front Street street-issue is an unresolved bone of contention, but there's still plenty going on. Hell, why not make a West Side weekend of it, by starting off with the Final Friday Art Night? After a visit to the Maui Ocean Center for underwater pumpkin carving (Fri, 1pm; Sat, 11:30am), avoid the Pali mayhem by cruising to Lahaina from Ma'alaea with the Pacific Whale Foundation's "Spook-tacular Evening at Sea" (6, 6:30 or 7pm, $69.95/$59.95). Keiki will have police escorts with the Costume Parade in its 31st year, beginning at The Wharf and ending at Banyan Tree Park (3:30pm). Also at The Wharf, after being dreadfully dormant for several years, the Haunted House returns ($5 for keiki, 1-6pm/$8 for adults 6-10pm), alongside the 26th Annual Ghoulish Gala Karaoke Costume Contest with Aunty Toddy Lilikoi and the 7th installment of "Night of the Living Dread" (yep, Marty) upstairs at Cool Cat Café ($10, 10pm). The Hard Rock Café celebrates by continuing their PINKTOBER events and entertainment (Sat, $15, 9pm), a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Pacific Cancer Foundation. Plus, Passion at Timba puts the "o" in Halloween with beats by DJ Del Sol ($10/$15, 7pm). On the South Side, sip some absinthe at Ambrosia's Haunted House to the "electronic tracks of doom" by DJ CIA (no cover, 10pm). Gian Don's hosts a HalloQueen Bash ($10/$15, 9pm) and Oceans Beach Bar & Grill features entertainment by Gomega and DJ Emmit (9:30pm). Keep it tame for keiki and hang out with the perpetually costumed Feather Duster the Clown at the Piilani Village Shopping Center (3-6pm), though Diamonds gets dangerous with Seattle trio, Fiasco ($7/$10, 9pm), and Mulligans on the Blue hosts a bash with three-set lineup and costume contest. Countryside, Casanova's holds a costume contest and books Pio Marasco and Gretchen Rhodes ($20 presale, 10pm), or sink your teeth in at Jacques for their vampire-inspired late night.

    As a Part Hawaiian myself, I can't see why we can let the keiki have their parade, yet not allow the adults to roam free given we're in a down economy.

    I've said it once, and I say it again: Allow the Adults to Dress up, but enforce some decency rules. That means no Giant Penises, no Naked Furry Vagina women, no blow-up dolls, and especially no fat guys in speedo's with sexual slogans that died off back in the 70's.

    Decency is Dead

    As a Part Hawaiian, I can't see any relevance between Halloween and Hawaiiana. We need to quit marrying topics that are complex/loaded enough on their own.

    As fo' da keiki, lets do all we can to help 'em have their fun and hold no grudges. Adults should/can (and do) do whatever they want--even if the result takes a big doo doo on decency.

    So, let the kids have their holiday and make the streets their safe domain. As for us fogies: let's suck it up and pick an establishment with inside revelry, so we can judge for ourselves the company we keep, as we suck down (bwah ha ha) our drinks.

    The clock has struck, turned into a bumpkin
