I wish I had a credit card so I could order Nopoopital. I had to leave the KTUH party tonight to go take a dump. I coulda just went in the men's room behind Bale, but had too many hot drunk 19 year olds, and I didn't wanna cheat on The Girlfriends

Yellow Fever
Frequent readers/viewers may know that our favourite colour is Korean. Apparently, the same can be said for plenny local aunties & cousins, which inspired cutie Brent Anbe to write and produce his latest short film "Ajumma! Are You Krazy???" The story is about 3 women obsessed with a Korean pop star, and their adventures trying to meet him.
I was lucky enough to hang out on the set while they shot at Diamond Head Video in Pearl Kai, and the cast and crew were quite a crack upp! I could totally relate to the characters' fanatical feelings and stalkerly ways.
The first screening at this year's HIFF is totally sold out, and I don't wanna tell you that another date was added until I get my tickets. While you're waiting, check out the movie's trailer:
Busy Brent also recently released on DVD the 2009 Universal Showqueen pageant, so kudos to him and winner Yuni Carey!

2 Wild & Crazy Guys
Damn! I'm a tired old queen. 3 performances in 2 weeks is too much for a reluctant starlet like myself. But it was fun & way worth it. The (mulitple) climax was when my co-hostess Edna Mc Man and I shot Shaka Talk #7 & #8 with our guests Harry Ramos and Otto Cake. Since their episodes won't air until December and January, here's a quick peek at what to look forward to.
I've known Harry Ramos since the late 1980's when we went to Moanalua High School, but didn't become friends till the mid 1990's as co-workers at Jelly's Books & Music when it used to be in Market City. While there I watched his star rise as he became the popular DJ Ska-rry of (R.I.P.) Radio Free Hawaii, and started a wave of poetry nites with his open mic "Expressions". He's back in Hawaii right now after 10 years in NYC, en route to the Philippines. Since he's been gone, Harry's travelled Europe and Thailand alone, and become a poet star on the East Coast as part of the performance duo Two Warriors. He was so cute on our show, unhardened and still humble, despite his success on the mainland. Although our future as fuck-buddies is hindered by the fact that he's no stranger (nor is he queer), he can still bestow uppon me the gift that keeps on giving, the subject of this clip we featured during his interview:
Our second guest of the day was tireless aged cheesey king of cake: Otto Cake. I've known and performed with Otto for about 15 years, and contrary to popular belief, we are not -nor were we ever- dating. I would never: he's old and white! But for someone as far along in years as he is, I do admire his endless energy. Popular not only for his world-famous cheesecake, but also his shameless self-promotion (witness his birthday present to himself ~aka the HUMAs), Otto's done as much for the scene as he has for his own legacy, with panache and pizazz. A hastily taught musician, he's performed in 7 bands (8 if you count his gigs in the titular role of Hedwig & the Angry Inch), touring the mainland & producing everything from cassette tapes, 7" vinyl records, 5 CDs with his prolific band the 86 List, even the following video single from the uber-duper-popular band The Sticklers.

mahalo
I just received the ultimate compliment from a super woman. I don't always say the right things, but right now I'm dumbfounded. Thank you, Christa. For real.
To new readers of Shaka Zine, welcome. I don't write often, so If you're upp Thursday nights at midnight, tune into Olelo.org (to stream it live) or check Channel 52 to watch our show "Shaka Talk". Or just search for it on youtube. Please? It's all about our guests, not mahus. I'm too lazy to fill this with links, and I'm trying to hurry upp with this 'cause I'm expecting some visitors.
Each Shaka Talk premieres somewhere like the third Thursday, and plays for 4 weeks.
Next Thursday night, October 15, at 11:59pm, (no forget Channel 52) our interview with Jason Tom makes its televised debut. After that, we can go public with it here and on our youtube page.
Shaka Talk #5: Jason Tom (available after premiere)

Part 3:
In mid November, Shaka Talk #6 will feature Jamie Callahan from the Life Foundation, as she gives me the oral 20 minute HIV test.
It's 3:30 am, I gotta meet our next guest Harry Ramos from Two Warriors poetry duo in 9 hours, and still gotta prep clips for him and our other guest Otto. This Thursday is our next shoot, and these shows'll play in December/January.
