On the Scene John Berger |
EMMA IS EXQUISITE: An overflow audience gave Emma Veary, left, a standing ovation April 25 as she took the stage to sing with the Aloha Serenaders at House Without a Key at the Halekulani Hotel. Veary, who headlined the old Halekulani in the '70s, said it was great to be back singing at the hotel "30 years and 30 pounds later."
MARTINI TIME!: Stephanie L.C. Ching, left, and Donna Chun joined Hanson Meyer for "Meretini Wednesday" at the Meritage. Meyer, who presents the weekly event with co-promoter John Muramoto, says the martini party is intended for professionals who want to relax away from the club scene. Expect the crowd to come rolling in around 9 p.m.
MOVIE TIME, PART 1: Russell Tanoue, left, talked with Gerald Elmore and Cathy Tanaka last Monday during the Spring 2004 Actors Showcase at the Outrigger Canoe Club. Elmore and Tanaka are in Paul Ogata's upcoming film, "The Amazing Asian Show," which will preview at Dave & Buster's on May 27.
A GREAT 'OHANA: Noel Okimoto, center, relaxed backstage after his concert April 25 at the Mamiya Theatre. Joining Okimoto in a great show were Dean Taba, lower left, Makoto Ozone, Tiger Okoshi, Brandon Tucay, Robert Shinoda and Todd Yukumoto.
MOVIE TIME, PART 2: "Uncle Bobby" Moderow Jr. congratulated Dorothy Stamp, left, and Anita Allison after catching a screening of Allison's new film, "Agent Orange," at the University of Hawaii-Manoa on Wednesday. Stamp plays a tough-talking FBI agent in Allison's offbeat tale about the fate of a UH student who jokes about making chemical weapons in his dorm.
