25 and older
Tired of going to clubs where the crowd is filled with people who were in Kindergarten the same year you graduated from high school?
Friday nights are going upscale at Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar, as IMF Visions introduces "Club25" to the masses this week.

LOOKING FOR a great holiday gift for friends and family living on the mainland? Consider sending a copy of Augie Tulba's new comedy DVD, out in stores this week.
Taped before a sold out crowd at the Hawaii Theatre in September, the DVD also features interview segments with family and home videos of the comic.
Besides some minor audio and video glitches, the DVD is a great way to catch a talented comedian giving it his all in front of a hometown audience. Tulba is in Las Vegas for a gig tonight, but you can catch him live next Wednesday with Lanai at Brew Moon starting at 8:30 p.m. ...
