The party’s on
30 stories above WaikikiLEAVE IT to promoters Komo Low, Matty Boy Hazelgrove and Flash Hansen when it comes to throwing parties at venues most local residents don't visit on a regular basis.
This weekend marks the start of a new monthly event at the newly remodeled Hanohano Room in the Sheraton-Waikiki Hotel. According to its Web site, Hanohano means "glorious, distinctive or in an elevated position," and the restaurant doesn't disappoint with its breathtaking views from 30 stories above Waikiki.
Doors open at 9 p.m. on Sunday for "Twilight," with DJs Drift, KSM, Rayne and TimB mixing things up after a traditional Chinese lion dance. And with free admission, free pupus and free valet parking, it's almost guaranteed that this party will be at capacity by midnight, so get there early. Call 941-0424, ext. 12, for more details ...

Tomorrow night, Thick Tubes will perform live in support of their new album, "Thick Who," starting at 9 p.m. Local cover band Missing Dave is scheduled to play on Saturday night. Call 942-8822 ...
THIS WEEKEND also brings the 2004 edition of "ZineFest" to downtown's Club Pauahi, courtesy of Unity Crayons.
