‘Pleasure’ had touchy,
but no feelyONE of the two actresses in playwright Ed Sakamoto's "Obake" pulled off a ghost-like move of her own. She was summarily called up by the military, and was gone, just like that ... Gone, too, is the Lizard Loft's production of local playwright Eric Yokomori's "Pleasure," which has completed its run at ARTS at Mark's Garage.

The announcers kept referring to "Perry and Price" during their play. And while Michael W. Perry might have felt it was in keeping with his partner, Larry Price, Hartnett was amused with Nick Price who was so upset in missing his last putt that he bent his putter in half ...THERE'LL be a big downtown lunchtime party at King and Bishop fronting the Bank of Hawaii on Dec. 4.

On the Road Again

It won the Gold Medallion for best automotive entertainment TV show at the International Automotive Media Awards ceremony at Sardi's in New York.
