Does Hawaii know how to celebrate Mardi Gras?
No ... there's not enough awareness of it.

No. There's not enough Cajun food and not enough places to get beads.

I saw it in New Orleans before the hurricane, but Hawaii has a good sense of joie de vivre (joy of living).


Where's the best place to shop?
I don't have one here. I went to school in Philly and Hawaii doesn't compare.

Savers has the best deals on clothes

Souvenirs for friends at the flea market at the stadium (and) for luxury items Ala Moana Center.


Do award shows influence your choice of buying CDs or watching movies?
Not necessarily the winning ones, but it makes me consider what's been nominated

Not so much for music but I'll try to see the movies.

Not as such, but the awards shows give me an excuse to host a party at my house.

Barometer of Cool appears on Saturdays.
