What do Gnomedex and Tweetups Taste Like?

If you had to describe what Gnomedex tastes like, could you do it? What ingredients do you think are thrown together? The official Gnomedex drink at Tiki’s Grill in Hawaii consists of Skyy Vodka, Orange Curacao, Amaretto and fresh lime juice!

They’ve also concocted a Tweetup drink, as well! That drink includes Malibu Pineapple Rum, Banana Liquor, Cranberry and Pineapple juice, and limes.

Both drinks are amazingly delicious, and refreshing. Oh… did I say refreshing? We’ll stick with that, yeah.

I love Hawaii.

I got Leid!

One tradition in Hawaii is to present someone with a Lei - and a kiss on the cheek! Lei giving is a regular part of any special occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and graduations. It is not uncommon for a graduating senior to have so many leis around their neck that they can no longer see!

There are, however, a couple of “unspoken rules” one should know when receiving a lei for the first time. A lei should be a welcomed celebration of one person’s affection to another. Therefore, always accept a lei, never refuse. The proper way to wear a lei is gently draped over the shoulders, hanging down both in front and in back. It is considered rude to remove a lei from your neck in the presence of the person who gave it to you, so if you must, be discreet.

Lei giving is a regular part of any special occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and graduations. It is not uncommon for a graduating senior to have so many leis around their neck that they can no longer see!

I was leid not once, but twice! Have I mentioned yet that I love Hawaii?

Downtown goes stale for 'Get Fresh!'

By Jason Genegabus    POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Jul 31, 2009(

THE CHANGES keep coming in Chinatown: After nearly seven years of Friday night parties downtown, the promoters behind Indigo's "Get Fresh!" weekly are calling it quits.

"I've been a DJ there for eight years, and 'Get Fresh!' has been there for about seven," said Taharba James, better known to local reggae and bhangra fans as Sovern-T. "It's been both a blessing and a curse. I think it was better back in the day when things were even all month long (in Chinatown)."

Ever since the advent of monthly "First Friday" festivities in the neighborhood, some promoters have lamented the difficulty in throwing parties on subsequent weekends -- let alone every week, as James and co-promoter G "G-Spot" Dehnert did at Indigo.

"First Friday is great and all, but what about the second, third, fourth and fifth Fridays?" asked James. "Right now, if you're not in on the whole 'First Friday' thing, there's no point."

When negotiations to extend "Get Fresh!" appeared to stall earlier this summer, they pulled the plug in order to focus on parties at other venues.

"I made that poster before I knew what their decision was," James said about a digital flier this columnist discovered on Facebook. "I have no ill will towards them whatsoever ... (and) I wish all the best to them."

Dehnert, who just wrapped up another successful "Love Festival" at Wet 'N Wild, continues to host after-hours events at the Shop on Dillingham Boulevard. James recently launched a new reggae weekly on Saturdays at Tiki's Grill & Bar.  Both promoters also have upcoming events planned at the Pipeline Cafe......

Subject: Thank you!

 Aloha Tiare! This is Jennifer Costa. I just wanted to thank you (sorry
I'm late) for the wonderful wedding reception on July 5. The food was
fantastic! The two person band did a wonderful job. The view was
amazing. We were all floating in the water on our first or second day
there, and my brother in law's girlfriend said, "I wonder whats up
there?" I told her, and the others, that's where the reception is and
they got sooo excited. The bartender and wait staff did an excellent
job. They even took care of the toasting flutes that my mother bought
for us and she carried them on the plane with her. I dont' have many
good pictures of Brian and I yet, so I'll send you one from the
reception along with a couple others so you can put a face to me! When
you called me on the 3rd we were on our way to the Polynesian Cultural
Center and I had no signal most of the trip out there. Thanks again! I
wish I had had the time to meet you, but we might be back in December
so maybe then! The first picture is me and my sister Amy (MOH), then
Brian and I getting food, then us on our honeymoon in Maui. The 4th
one is my sister and best friend (bridesmaid) Leilani (not Hawaiian,
but Dominican!) The last picture is Kristina (bridesmaid) with a
gorgeous sunset.
