DFS
to end “Boat Days”
Hawaiian
music lovers asked to help
Letter from a
friend:
Aloha
Family & Friends,
Wishing you all a Happy New Year. As of Friday, January 16, 2004, I
have been given a two week notice at the DFS Galleria where I
perform. The show "Boat Days" is a 30 minute, full 100%
Hawaiian Revue and it has been a charm performing for the visitor
industry for the last 3 years. DFS is going to replace the show with
a harp, piano and flute playing songs that have nothing to do with
Hawai'i
's
culture. I know this is asking alot of you but would it be possible
to support our show and write to:
President of DFS Galleria (Duty Free Store - Galleria)
330 Royal Hawaiian Avenue
Honolulu
, HI 96815
The show will close Friday, January 30, 2004. The show consists of 4
girl dancers (hula) and 3 boy dancers (hula) 3 musicians and myself
as the lead. We are sad that DFS will not renew our contract to
perform there any longer. Our Producer/Choreographer is a dear
person and friend Cha Thompson and its the only 100% Hawaiian Show
FREE to the public each Wednesday and Friday evenings at
7:00pm
.
I appreciate all you can do for me and my cast members. I hope
this is not asking too much but we need to keep this job where
visitors enjoy wat they came here for and thats the traditional
songs and dances of
Hawai'i
.
Mahalo and Aloha,

Bo
knows
Comedy
makes secret showing in
Waikiki
A growing cult of comics has sprouted a near full house of laughs at
one of
Waikiki
’s most avante guard clubs, All Star Hawai‘i on Kalakaua.
All Star has tried dinner theater, jazz on the sidewalk, and now
this.
It’s called Crack Up Thursdaz, an open mike with Bo Irvine, on the
second and fourth Thursday of each month,
8-10 p.m.
“That’s not bad,” says
Irvine
. “If you go to the mainland and try to get in a comedy open
mike, it’s usually Sunday at
2 a.m.
or something like that.
“We were nearly full the other night, and they were laughing,”
said host
Irvine
, who is one of Hawai‘i’s few stand up nuts. He regularly
will try to book himself into a club whenever he is traveling.
The word is getting around.
Irvine
uses his extensive list of contacts to produce drop in guests from
the mainland and
Canada
. Bo does ten to fifteen minutes. The club gets all
kinds of comics, men, women, young, old, all ethnic groups.
Maybe someday, we’ll see a Filipina comedienne on national TV who
got her start on Kalakaua.
“I can guarantee 90 minutes to two hours of good, clean fun,”
Irvine
says.
The show started in late November and is growing.
Irvine
recently started doing classes on Saturday for open mike hopefuls.
The classes are less on comedy than on stage presence and mastery.
Comedy may not be teachable.
“I guess I was always witty,” says
Irvine
, mulling over whether comedy is a gene thing. Or something
learned.
Bo started with weekly comedy contest run in
Honolulu
by Ed Kaahea of the old Booga Booga. He won five times and was
hooked. He did 12 years as host of the old Honolulu Comedy
Club on top of the Ilikai. His manager then was the club’s
owner, Eddie Sax.
Bo has opened for George Carlin, Howie Mandel, the Righteous
Brothers, Garry Shandling, Bobcat Goldwaite, the Makaha Sons of
Niihau, Cecelio & Kapono, Bruddah Walter, and of all people,
George Wallace.
On television, he’s been on Sam Choy's Kitchen, Comedy on the Road
with Jon Byner, Club Network on Showtime Cable, Hawaiian Moving
Company, Hawaii Super Kids, NBC Late Night, 24 Hour New Years Comedy
Extravaganza on Turner Warner Broadcasting, and $100,000 Bingo on
KHNL 13.
He’s done comedy clubs like the Ice House Comedy & Magic
Club in Pasadena, Ray Combs Cincinnati Comedy Connection, the Kauai
Comedy Club, Kona Comedy Club (yes they did have a club), Maui
Comedy Club, Honolulu Laugh Factory, and Make Me laugh #1 at the
Brew Moon. That was Andy Bumatai’s venture in comedy
startups.
It’s quite a resume, and Bo admits he can’t really stop.
“It’s like an addiction,” he says.
But never a profession.
“I always wanted a credit card.”
Bo retired after 20 years of being a fireman, and is now director of
occupational health and safety for the Hawai‘i Marine Corps.
The closest he came to making a living as a comic was when he opened
for George Carlin, many years ago.
“I had bought tickets to see Carlin, then a week before the show,
they called me and told me I would be opening for him. What a
thrill. But Carlin was so down to earth. He caught my
act from the wings.
“When I was finished, he came over, put his arms around my
shoulder and told me to quit my day job.”
But Bo never.
He just kept making people laugh. “This is my bowling,” he
says.
Actually, it’s more, it’s a high.
“I’m a surfer too. It’s like surfing. If you can
get up on the board that first time, what a rush. I don’t
drink, I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke. Making people
laugh is my high.”
Now, the high is helping new comedians or people who think they’re
funny, giving back and watching these people some taking it real
seriously and others finding its not what they want.
So Crack Up Thursdaz is perfect for Bo.
He’s laughing from the wings, and someday he’ll be walking out
to some young comic, putting his arm around the person’s shoulder
and saying:
“Man, you should quit your day job.”

includes fan activities
PRO BOWLS IN
PARADISE
HITS 25
HONOLULU
– It was the early afternoon of January 27,
1980 and the NFL’s first Pro Bowl in
Hawaii
was set to kick-off in a sold-out and sunny
Aloha Stadium. A week earlier, the Pittsburgh Steelers had defeated
the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV by the score of 31-19.
Miracle on Ice was still 26 days away. Jimmy Carter was president.
Tom Brady was two years old.
Twenty-five Pro Bowls later a lot has changed, but not the
enthusiasm of the NFL and its top players for ending a season of
excellence in
America
’s winter paradise. Likewise, the NFL’s
“33rd franchise” is gearing up to welcome the AFC and NFC’s
best-of-the-best with its trademark 82-degree sunshine, gentle trade
winds, and the ultimate destination incentive reward in sports – a
week in beautiful
Hawaii
.
Following a week of fan-friendly activities (schedule below),
the Pro Bowl will be played at Aloha Stadium on Sunday, February 8,
at 2:30 p.m. (HST)/7:30 p.m. (EST), and televised nationally by
ESPN.
After a quarter century together, the Pro Bowl and
Hawaii
have become such a synonymous pairing that
comments are often heard during the season about a player’s
chances of “going to
Hawaii
” instead of referring to the Pro Bowl by name.
“Hosting the Pro Bowl is a tremendous event for the NFL and
Hawaii
. Like any incentive program, the players
appreciate the stature of earning a trip here and bringing their
families to celebrate the achievement,” said John Monahan,
president and CEO of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB).
“For
Hawaii
’s visitor industry, we appreciate having the
world’s number one sports brand put its stamp of approval on
Hawaii
for 25 straight years.”
The fun and excitement of Pro Bowl Week isn’t limited to
players and their families. It also provides opportunities for fans
to see the NFL’s best up close, get autographs, and enjoy Pro Bowl
sponsored parties and events.
“We are always excited about bringing together the NFL’s
greatest stars and the world’s premier vacation destination,”
said Jim Steeg, NFL Senior Vice President of Special Events. “We
are looking forward to a terrific celebration of the NFL’s 25th
consecutive Pro Bowl in
Hawaii
.”
Team practices at Aloha Stadium will be free and open to the
public. NFC practices start at
9 a.m.
on Tuesday, February 3;
10 a.m.
on Friday, February 6; and
9 a.m.
on Saturday, February 7. AFC practices start at
10 a.m.
on Wednesday, February 4;
10 a.m.
on Thursday, February 5; and
10 a.m.
on Saturday, February 7.
Other fan-friendly activities include a two-day festival at
Kapiolani Park in Waikiki, February 6-7, highlighted by nonstop
entertainment from local bands, free autographs from NFL players and
Pro Bowl cheerleaders, and interactive football games. The public is
welcome and admission is free.
In addition, the public can also enjoy the Pro Bowl Block
Party at Aloha Tower Marketplace on February 6 (free admission), or
purchase tickets to the 25th Anniversary Pro Bowl Concert &
Party at the Waikiki Shell, featuring K.C. and the Sunshine Band and
Papa Doo Run Run.

25th Anniversary Pro Bowl Concert & Party can be ordered online

750-4400. Tickets for the concert are also available at the

Wally
Yonamine
Hawai‘i sports legend get airport exhibit
HONOLULU
,
January 20 - The Wally Yonamine historical exhibit was opened
in January at the
Honolulu
International
Airport
.
Yonamine was born in Olowalu,
Maui
made his mark in Japanese baseball with a 38-year career as player,
manager and coach. He had a lifetime batting average of .311,
mostly with the Yomiuri Giants, winning three batting titles.
He
was the Central League¹s Most Valuable Player in 1957, and made the
all-time
Japan
baseball team. He was inducted into the Japan Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1990. Yonamine also was a pioneer in football. In
1944, he led
Farrington
High
School
to its first-ever ILH crown. Yonamine toured with the Hawaiian
Warriors in the late 1940's, and so impressed professional football
scouts at a game in
Oregon
,
he was signed by the
San
Francisco
49ers the first player of Asian descent to do this.
After a football injury, Yonamine decided to concentrate on
professional baseball. While under contract to the Pacific
Coast League¹s San Francisco Seals, he was encouraged by the Seals¹
manager to sign with the Yomiuri (
Tokyo
)
Giants. He was an
instant success. In the process, he opened the door for other
American athletes to seek their fortunes in
Japan
.
Today, the 79-year-old, still-fit Yonamine has continued to
be an active and visible member of the community. The Wally
Yonamine Foundation is the title sponsor of the annual HHSAA State
Baseball Championships.
The Wally Yonamine Exhibit consists of two (approx. 4' x 4' x
4') display cases filled with Yonamine's sports memorabilia. The
items had been on display at the
Japanese
Cultural
Center
in Mo'ili'ili. It will remain on display at the
Honolulu
International
Airport
for an undisclosed, but long-term, period of time.
February 27 –
May 2
HAWAI‘I’S ART SEASON IS A VIBRANT CANVAS
HONOLULU, January 6, 2004 – As if 462 of the world’s best
beaches weren’t enough, and a climate that approximates eternal
June counted for nothing, Hawaii surprises visitors with a full
flowering of visual, ethnic and performing arts.
The Hawaiian calendar is crowded with art events around the
year, but during the state’s first Hawaii Arts Season, February 27
to May 2, there are sixty-eight major cultural events in sixty-three
days. They range from ballet to way-off Broadway, Italian
opera to Chinese acrobats. There’s theater for children, art
galleries catering to international connoisseurs, and hands-on arts
festivals for everyone.
Music Sampling
Hawaii
hosts performances by renown touring companies
and local artists. Waltz right into the glittering Austro-Hungarian
Empire in the Hawaii Opera Theater production of The Merry Widow,
one of three grand operas slated for
Honolulu
's concert hall. Be enchanted when classical
flutists Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway perform in the Honolulu
Symphony’s Master Series’.
In the same series, virtuoso violinist Tamaki Kawakubo will
appear with the Symphony. Grammy Award winner, Sharon Isbin, one of
the preeminent classical guitar players, will perform at the Kahilu
Theater on the
Big
Island
. If you miss her Spanish, folk,
jazz-fusion repertory there, catch her at the
Kauai
Community
College
Performing
Arts
Center
, the
Maui
Arts & Cultural
Center
or the Paliku Theatre on
Oahu
.
There are choral presentations,
Hawaiian music concerts and programs of exceptional chamber music.

their recorder consort innovations when they come to
Hawaii
.

natural magnet for the best cultural offerings from around the
world. Find Kabuki at Kennedy Theatre,

The incomparable Baaba Maal, who has been described as
“direct blast of honest passion” will bring his nine-person band

costumes, food, music and dance.
Of course, the native Hawaiian culture is encountered
everywhere. E Kanikapila Kakou 2004 makes

Big
Island
, the Ki Hoalu Slack Key Guitar and Ukulele
Concert on
Kauai
and the perennial favorite Brothers Cazimero
Family Concert on Lei Day in
Waikiki
.
Culture is for families too

activities for children. The world premier of Dis/Troy, an
adaptation for youth of Homer’s The Iliad, will bow at Tenney
Theatre,
Honolulu
.

programs showcasing
Kauai

environment. Children’s special education programs abound at
Hawaii
’s resorts.

Arts, regularly include instructive, rewarding arts and crafts
opportunities for youngsters. Families flock to
Waikiki
for the regularly scheduled free movies outdoors
on the beach. The
Bishop
Museum
supports ohana participation with Family
Sundays.
Venues for volcanoes and visual arts
Dozens of unique museums are scattered
about the islands. They range from the high-tech
Thomas
A.
Jaggar
Museum
of volcanology on the rim of
Kilauea
, the world’s most active volcano on the
island
of
Hawaii
, to the exquisite gem, the Honolulu Academy of
Arts, in

and
Paris
: Impressionism, Post Impressionism and the
Modern Era. This landmark exhibit is a unique opportunity to
view master works by Matisse, Renoir, Picasso and Monet as well as
spectacular works of leading Japanese cubists and modernists
influenced by Impressionism.

Japan
, and several of the great European masterpieces
have not traveled outside
Japan
in many years. The art is gathered from
Japan
’s premier public and private collections,
including the National Museum of Modern Art in
Tokyo
.
Honolulu
is the only venue in the world for this
unprecedented show.
The
Contemporary
Museum
in
Honolulu
addresses significant art produced since 1940.

Hawaii
’s pivotal missionary era, while the

Arts
Center

Pick up a walking map and step into the bawdy era of Yankee
whalers when Herman Melville was gathering grist for his literary
classic, Moby Dick. Every Friday is Art Night when Lahaina's
many galleries show their best and host receptions open to all.
The Lodge at Koele,
Lanai
is almost much as art gallery as hotel. In
an innovative program the Lodge sponsored art programs for local
artists and then commissioned them for projects. At the Lanai
Arts Program in
Lanai
City
, anyone can drop in for classes. The Lodge also
hosts an impressive program of famed visiting artists with lectures
and demonstrations. On the
Big
Island
almost the entire town of
Holualoa
in the Kona coffee-growing region is a
collection of art galleries, craft boutiques and coffee shops.
When visiting Hawai‘i …
Hawaii
’s hoteliers have always supported the arts,
with, for instance the Halekulani Hotel’s purchase of tickets to
the Honolulu Symphony performances, which they distribute to guests.
Other hotels sponsor hula schools and offer classes in
Hawaiian arts. Many of the states hotels are already
participating in this first Hawaii Arts Season with special packages
and promotions.
The Outrigger Reef Hotel in
Waikiki
and United Airlines "Silver Wings"
program offers special weekend getaway packages. Aston Hotels will
sponsor free entrance to The Contemporary Museum for a week during

Hawaiian
Village

and Kahala Mandarin Oriental are among the
hotels planning Hawaii Arts Season promotions.
