T-shirt with a cause
Hard Rock International has partnered with Music Rising to offer a limited-edition T-shirt to benefit the campaign founded by U2's The Edge to replace the lost instruments of musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina and other storms that devastated the Gulf Coast region in 2005.
The shirt, designed by Bill Cathcart, features the winged Music Rising logo on a black background. The Edge has worn the design during several performances, including his 2006 appearance at the Grammy Awards.
The shirt is $24, available at Hard Rock Honolulu. Call 955-7383.

Bean ritual ensures happiness
OK, kids, you get to throw food. As long as the food is soy beans and you learn these words in Japanese: "Oni wa soto; fuku wa uchi." (Loosely translated: "Out with the demons, in with happiness/luck.") The Shinnyo En Hawaii Temple, 2348 S. Beretania St., hosts a Bean Throwing Festival at 10 a.m. Saturday. The ritual is part of the Setsubun celebration held just before the Lunar New Year. After the bean toss, it is traditional to eat a number of beans equal to your age, to ensure happiness. Call 947-2814.
