William Shatner. Actor, author and the king of the self-spoof. The original rocket man, and '80s Hooker. His 1968 spoken-word album may have been titled The Transformed Man, and he could star in as many Pricline.com commercials as there are galaxies, but Shatner is foremost and forever Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise. Yet for all his extraterrestrial beast-battling, his greatest foe may have been faced last week Friday, in a parody showdown with Sarah Palin on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show. Backed by bongos and a standup bass, Shatner read with satirical staccato from Palin's Going Rogue, "I looked down to see the moose's eyeballs lying in his palm, still warm from the critter's head…" Palin then appeared to dish it back, with her own reading from Shatner's autobiography, Up Till Now, "…on a starlit, moonless night in Africa, I was going to visit that elephant in my underwear." One week to the day from the airing of that buzzed-about beatnik brawl, Mauians with warp drive enough to get them to the West side can enjoy a special meet and greet with Shatner and concert by Brian Evans. Beam me up. $40-$75, 667-7400 Anu Yagi, MauiTime
