Get paid for going crazy
at Pipeline CafeIT'S GOING TO be pretty crazy at Pipeline Cafe on Wednesday nights all summer long once tapings for "No Shame: The Search for Hawaii's Craziest Person" get started next week.
The premise is simple: How nuts can you get for a shot at $5,000? For the first 10 weeks of tapings, six contestants will try to outdo each other for a shot at the semifinals during week 11. The top five semifinalists will then advance to finals on Aug. 13. The shows will air at 10 p.m. Sunday nights starting June 8 on KFVE.
And if watching local people act silly isn't enough entertainment in itself, each Wednesday night "No Shame" taping is also a concert of sorts -- this Wednesday, Epic Session, Thick Tubes and Natural Vibrations will perform, with other acts to follow in the coming weeks. Doors open at 9 p.m. for the 18-and-over crowd, and show producers will be looking for contestants in the club as well. E-mail noshametv@yahoo.com if you want to participate, or just head down to Pipeline ...
