ED GOT A BRAND-NEW SHIRT: Ed Wray, center, owner of Auntie Pasto's, ended the lunch shift in a new "Movin' Out" T-shirt Wednesday when Broadway Across America execs Bruce Granath and Safir Keller co-hosted a luncheon press conference at the restaurant. "Movin' Out," which features 24 Billy Joel songs in a show created by Twyla Tharp, opens in the Blaisdell Concert Hall Sept. 8.

SWEETIE STAYED UP: Sweetie Pacarro gets up in the middle of the night to do the morning show at KSSK, but she was bright-eyed and full of energy as she watched video highlights of "Movin' Out." The food was worth staying up for, and Pacarro's morning-show colleagues, Larry Price and Michael W. Perry, missed a great lunch.
