In The Mix
Feelin’ groovy, not
grumpy, and sweet, tooSTART YOUR WEEKEND early tonight and check out a party that could soon challenge the Ocean Club's supremacy on Thursdays. Starting at 10 p.m., the Stone Groove Family is bringing back "Sweetness" for the 21-and-over crowd just around the corner at Grumpy's.
Earlier this week, SGF's G-Dog predicted that the new event would "bring it full circle" for the DJ collective. Much like the original version that rocked Cafe Mardi Gras in '98, "Sweetness" is going for a mellow, house-party-in-a-bar vibe at Grumpy's.

Ever tried frozen custard? Me neither. But Ed Wary and Jim Hamachek, business partners who opened Eddie's Burgers & Frozen Custard in Kaimuki yesterday, are sure you've tasted nothing like it. Adding egg yolk to the mix, according to Wary, "takes ice cream up a notch." Third-pound Parker Ranch Black Agnus beef burgers, homemade french fries and old-fashioned onion rings are also on the menu. Stop by 3607 Waialae Ave. or call 739-0033 for more ...
