Coconut Wireless Akaku Gets Funds For Broadband Outreach

Cleaning Up Kaho‘olawe

L

A

ately, much of the news about Akaku, Maui’s community access station, has been bleak. For years they’ve battled public and private forces that want to swallow their small slice of the pie and eliminate an outlet President Jay April likens to a public park—a place where everyone’s voice can be heard. (And, April jokes, where “some people deliver the Gettysburg Address, some people pee in the bushes.”) Add the economic downturn, which has dried up funding and led to major cutbacks at the station, and the picture is less-than-rosy.

So it was nice to see Akaku announce some good news this week. On September 14, the station held a press conference to herald the launch of a new initiative aimed at educating Maui’s rural and Native Hawaiian communities about the power and possibility of technology.

The effort, dubbed Project YBEAM, is backed by a $130,000 federal stimulus grant; Akaku was one of seven media outlets in the Western U.S. to get a piece of the funding, and the only one in Hawaii.

“We’ve been recognized nationally for our innovation,” said April. “Now we want to shift the paradigm to broadband access, to build not only awareness but broadband infrastructure from the rural areas out, rather than the other way around.”

Ultimately, he said, “we’re going to put the tools in young people’s hands.”

April acknowledged that $130,000 will only go so far, but said they plan to use the money as a jumping-off point. “We want to leverage the funds and expand the project,” he said. “Hopefully [officials] on Oahu will take notice.”

Some already have. Former Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Neil Abercrombie and state Sen. Shan Tsutsui, among others, spoke at the press conference, while state Sen. Kalani English and Rep. Mazie Hirono sent words of support. Time will tell if that support keeps the public park open.

bused for centuries by human activity—including deforestation, over-grazing and military testing—Kaho‘olawe is Maui Nui’s dirty secret. More secret still is the presence of an estimated 20 tons of garbage at Kanapou Bay on the island’s east side.

The trash, brought in by trade winds and currents, is choking reefs and threatening endangered birds and marine animals.

“When you see the scope of the problem it is hard to know where to start,” said Michele McLean, deputy director of the Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC).

KIRC spearheads annual cleanup efforts but,

marine science—Kaho‘olawe can become a living conduit between past and future generations,” said KIRC Executive Director Michael Naho‘opi. Considering what’s been done to the island, that’s an ambitious goal. But, long odds aside, it’s never too late to try to set things right. (For more information, call 243-5020 or visit kahoolawe.hawaii.gov.)

Parsing Piltz’s LEDCOR Connection

I

n a June filing with the County Board of Ethics, Mayoral candidate Randy Piltz disclosed an income of $1 million or more from LEDCOR Construction Inc. In addition to being a large sum of

An estimated 20 tons of garbage has accumulated at Kaho‘olawe’s Kanapou Bay. “When you see the scope of the problem,” said an official involved in the cleanup effort, “it is hard to know where to start.”

McLean said, it’s “simply not enough to clean the entire beach, so we have not been able to keep up with re-accumulation.”

That could change, thanks to a $100,000 allotment from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which, coupled with KIRC’s volunteer force, might finally get on top of the problem.The first cleanup is set for September 25, with the project expected to take about 18 months.

“Through careful and cooperative stewardship—traditional Hawaiian values of resource care and management, or malama, blended with contemporary

money, that’s eyebrow-raising because LEDCOR—which also donated $1,000 to Piltz’s campaign—was busted twice for using illegal immigrant labor on one of its Maui construction sites in 2008.

In August 2008, 21 illegal workers were arrested at the Honua Kai site on the West side. A month later, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents rounded up 23 more. “I am deeply troubled by what seems to be the same companies repeatedly employing undocumented workers in our state,” said U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo at the time. “I know they

feel that they can just plead ignorance about the status of their employees. But I strongly advise them to think again.”

Reached for comment last week, Piltz called the busts “unfortunate” but said that the workers were hired by subcontractors without LEDCOR’s knowledge. He added that he hopes people will recognize “all the good work [LEDCOR] has done here and across the state.”

Piltz also clarified that the income indicated on his ethics filing was a mistake; he said he actually earned around $100,000 as a consultant for LEDCOR, not $1 million. Reminded that the extra zero makes a difference, he agreed with a laugh, “Yes, it does.”

Lingle Nominees Challenged

T

he Sierra Club is challenging two of Gov. Lingle’s Land Use Commission (LUC) nominees, on the grounds that neither was approved by the state Senate.

The first nominee, Duane Kanuha, had already served one term on the LUC when Lingle submitted his name in March.

The following month, the Senate rejected Kanuha but he remains on the commission as “holdover member.”

The second nominee, Wailea 670 rep Charlie Jencks, was appointed by Lingle as an “interim commissioner” in July. Since then, the Senate has convened two special sessions but didn’t consider Jencks at either. “Under the plain language of the Hawaii Constitution, Mr. Jencks is no longer eligible to serve as an interim commissioner,” reads the Sierra Club’s challenge.

Both challenges are set to be considered by the commission this week. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1413c

Closing Arguments As the primary looms, Hannemann and Abercrombie square off one last time at the Iao Theater

M

ore than an hour before gubernatorial hopefuls Mufi Hannemann and Neil Abercrombie met for their final pre-primary debate, Wailuku was buzzing. A line snaked along the sidewalk outside the Iao Theater and down the street a collection of red-shirted Mufi sign-wavers elicited honks and waves from passing motorists (and got a cheek-kissing, handclasping visit from the candidate himself).

certain sense of irony in the question about creating private sector jobs, because the first thing we need to do is leverage federal dollars into the private sector.”

On the question of energy, both men predictably emphasized the need to turn toward renewables and away from imported fossil fuel. Hannemann touted his still upin-the-air Oahu rail project as an example of a “clean, green” solution and said he wants to work with Neighbor Island mayors to “create renewable-energy zones.”

Neither candidate covered much new ground, and at times both recited answers almost verbatim from past debates and forums. But it was still significant to have the old rivals in the same room, on Maui no less.

The debate—hosted by The Maui News, the Chamber of Commerce and the Maui Realtors Association and aired live on Akaku—was actually billed as a “town hall” meeting. There was a moderator, and the two men stood behind lecterns facing the crowd, but questions were solicited from the audience. So many questions, in fact, that a number were left unanswered at the end of the hour-long affair.

Neither candidate covered much new ground, and at times both recited answers almost verbatim from past debates and forums.

But it was still significant to have the old rivals in the same room, on Maui no less, just days before one of them will earn the right to face Republican Duke Aiona in the general.

Most polls give a slight edge to Abercrombie, but Hannemann wasn’t in full attack mode. He took a few swipes at the former Congressman for his “revisionism” and at one point accused him of downplaying the importance of the visitor industry. Citing quotes where Abercrombie suggested Hawaii needs to “reconfigure it’s approach to tourism” and use money from the Hawaii Tourism Authority budget for infrastructure projects Hannmann chided, “this is not a very realistic approach.”

“You need a leader who’s been there, done that, and isn’t just going to use flashy rhetoric to make it sound good,” he said.

Asked how he would stimulate private sector growth, Abercrombie said, “There’s a

Abercrombie’s bie s aanswer was more dramatic. “Unless Unless we can [achieve energy independence] pendence] we can’t survive,” rvive,” he said.

Hawaii has to fundamentally ally alter its approach, he said, and move from a profi ofit model to a “distributive tive model,” allowing more alternative ve energy producers rs to contribute ute power to the grid..

When the subject off civil i il unions was broached, Hannemann reiterated his belief “in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman” and said he would have vetoed HB444. “I have to be true to myself and my religious training and upbringing,” he said. However, he added, “there’s not a discriminatory bone in my body.” He said that he’d support a bill that “focuses on benefits and rights” to help “those who feel they’re being shortchanged because of their sexual orientation.”

Abercrombie countered that HB444 wasn’t about redefining marriage but rather

upholding fundamental civil rights. “When you’re a Governor [you] defend everybody’s civil rights,” he said. “Not just the people [you] approve of, or the people that [you] are comfortable with.”

Asked about the Superferry, Hannemann again cited his experience with rail and said the key is to complete an Environmental Impact Statement. Abercrombie was more pessemistic, and said funding issues would make it difficult to get the boat back in the water in the near-term.

During closing remarks, Hannemann beat the familiar drum of his executive and private sector experience and suggested Hawaii needs a leader who will be “cool, calm and collected” rather than “ranting and raving.” (Whether this was a jab at Abercrombie or merely a general observation was unclear.)

“Nothing would have been easier than for me to stay in my job [as Honolulu Mayor] and ride it out,” he added. “[But] I want to make sure you have the finest and best leadership, leadership you can count on.”

Abercrombie recalled launching his campaign in Wailuku, and said it was fitting that the “conversation started on Maui and ended on Maui.”

GAME ON Craig Smallwood of Oahu filed a federal lawsuit earlier this year against the makers of the online virtual-world game Lineage II for failing to warn him that he would become so addicted to playing it that he would be “unable to function independently in usual daily activities such as getting up, getting dressed, bathing or communicating with family and friends.” (Smallwood claims to have spent 20,000 hours over five years playing.) In August, Judge Alan Kay declined to dismiss the lawsuit and set it for trial.

START ’EM YOUNG More than a half-million children in the U.S. take antipsychotic medicines and (reported The New York Times in September) even “the most reluctant [doctors] encounter a marketing juggernaut that has made antipsychotics the nation’s top-selling class of drugs by revenue, $14.6 billion last year, with prominent promotions aimed at treating children.” In one psychiatrist’s waiting room, observed the Times reporter, “Children played with Legos stamped with the word Risperdal,” an antipsychotic made

by Johnson & Johnson. (The company, which recently lost its patent on the drug, said it has stopped handing out the toys— which it insisted were not toys at all but advertising reminders for doctors.)

GAY IT AIN’T SO Three self-described bisexual men filed a federal lawsuit in April against the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance for disqualifying them from the Gay Softball World Series in Seattle in 2008 because they were not sufficiently gay. Teams were limited to two heterosexuals, and when the men’s team won second place, questions were raised about the three until organizers took them aside and asked “intrusive” questions about their sexual attractions and desires.

Ultimately, they were disqualified as being too straight. The alliance acknowledged that it has no standards for judging gayness level, but explained, as a private organization, that it is not subject to federal law.

HOME UNSWEET HOME Between suicide, murder, assault, drunken driving and drug use, the soldiers of the 4th Brigade, 1st Armored Division, at Fort Bliss, Texas, have been statistically in greater peril while stateside than while deployed in

Iraq. During the last year in Iraq, the brigade lost only one soldier to combat, but in the previous year stateside, seven were killed and four people died in crimes committed by brigade personnel.

LABOR PAINS (1) At a rally in Washington, D.C., in July denouncing employers who hire nonunion carpenters, many of the chanting protesters were nonunion day workers hired by the carpenters’ union to make the demonstration look bigger, according to a Wall Street Journal report. (2) In August, Jim Callaghan, a long-time writer on the headquarters staff of the United Federation of Teachers, was fired after trying to organize his colleagues into their own union local. Callaghan said that UFT staff deserve the same protections as the teachers they represent. (A UFT spokesman said most UFT employees are already unionized.)

Seriously, if I wasn’t scared of getting my ass kicked I’d have told you myself. Don’t worry, I’m out, gone, headed off the island. Not sure about the others, though I think one of them is in jail.

CONSPIRACY LEERY The Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, Dan Maes, explained in August that he began the campaign supporting “green” programs, such as Denver’s innovative “bike-sharing” project, but that he has rethought his position.

Now, he told reporters, environmental programs are, in reality, plots. “If you do your homework and research, you realize that [encouraging people to park their cars and ride bikes in the city] is part of a greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty.”

INCOMPETENT CRIMINALS (1) Gerald Maxwell, 39, a convicted burglar who was caught in August breaking into the same Sarasota, Florida, home he had broken into last year, quickly tried to explain his innocence to officers. “I was going back in there to leave a thank-you note, because I’m the guy who burglarized this place last year [and] I just got out of jail.” (2) Terrance Mitchell was arrested in Waterloo, Iowa, in July, identified from video as the man who tried to shoplift surveillance equipment from a store.

Mitchell was thus apparently unaware that stores that sell surveillance equipment might operate surveillance cameras. ■

“The revolution will not be no re-run, brothers, the revolution will be live.”

- Gil Scott-Heron, spoken word poet

A

HIDDEN STAIRWELL SNEAKS UP FROM BEHIND

the back area of Milagros Restaurant in Paia, into a tattoo shop upstairs. It’s a large parlor complete with art gallery and loads of space to roam. During the day, when the place is open for regular business, I imagine it feels spacious and airy, beautiful even.

On this particular Thursday evening in late August, however, the space is packed with people of all ages, colors and walks of life— literally standing elbow to elbow—rubbing together their assorted Afros, dreadlocks, spikes, tattoos, gray hairs and hippie attire.

For a Maui event, this is about as diverse as it gets. And the diversity goes hand-in-hand with the type of event it is—a “poetry slam,” where brave performance poets sign up to showcase their flair for the written and spoken word, while randomly selected members of the audience serve as judges. Due in part to this democratic creative forum, every slam I’ve ever attended has been incredibly colorful.

At about 10:30pm, an exceptionally tall, tattooed, pierced, and suspender-clad man named Mountain rises to the podium and sheepishly faces the audience. A shock of jet-black hair dances above his head. His body language displays a nervousness, an excitement that is palpable. With a deep breath, he begins to spit out one hypnotic, self-indulgent fiery phrase after another, breathing potent metaphors into verbal acrobatics, like a floor gymnast flipping to his grand finale—only with a lot more hip-hop swagger and much, much baggier pants.

It’s not the first time I’ve seen Mountain perform at Maui Slam, the only monthly slam poetry venue on Maui. Always a great place for scoping out Maui’s lyrical talent, I’ve been naturally drawn to this event for the sheer reason that I get to experience so much intelligence in one room. The events, now under the wing of creative and classy librarian Ellen Peterson of Kit Kat Club fame, have grown to include other types of performing arts, everything from live painting to musical theatre to dance. With the exception of this event at Paia Tattoo, nowadays Maui Slam is held on the last Thursday of every month at Casanova in Makawao.

Maui Slam is a place where all voices are accepted and dozens of Maui’s bravest wordsmiths take the stage to share their gifts and their raw, unadulterated

thoughts. It’s community storytelling with a beatnik flair. In every case, there is a temporal, “disappearing ink” quality to the performances. Unlike written poetry that can be repeated, recited and studied in lit class, performance poetry comes to life only in the moments the poet is on stage. The delivery, the rhythm and the drama are as important as the words. The more captivated the audience, the better.

Since Maui Slam’s early days, Mountain has stood out. He takes spoken word and bends it into his own distinctive style, with a polished, professional delivery. His talents have earned him a place at the World Poetry Slam in December on the Mainland. Of course, he’s not the only one bringing the verbal goods; other Maui Slam standouts include Pat Matsumoto of Wailuku’s Gallerie Ha, who bucks the system with her bold, brazen style, J. Marc Manse, an actor and writer, Ra Sol and Jahsun Stoltz, members

of the local Hip-hop group Unsung Mighty Few and Lilah “Lava” Clay, a thoughtful, hypnotic female poet and published author.

Later, Peterson explains to me that performance poetry and the rich oral traditions of our local culture make Maui a perfect home for this type of art. “Here, the literary arts are founded in spoken word traditions, so in many ways, performance poetry on Maui could be considered primal and ancient, while at the same time fresh and new,” she says.

While slam poetry traces its origins to the early days of hip-hop—which is rife with people rising like lyrical phoenixes from violent, unjust, often tumultuous backgrounds—it isn’t necessarily all serious.

In fact, at the tattoo shop event, I almost peed my pants when Lava referred to her poem’s “gangsta” character’s ego as “a baggy, saggy hammock you can’t get out

of.” In fact, she had the entire place roaring so loudly, she had to pause until everyone caught their breath so she could continue.

RENAISSANCE MAN Born Austin Alexander in 1982 near Philadelphia, Mountain’s back story is just as dynamic as the on and off-stage presence I’ve come to know over the years.

“My father was an adventurer, a preacherturned-gangster, a lot of things, and my mother was a published songwriter and model. He once climbed Mt. Ararat looking for Noah’s Ark, and she was a Miss America runner up,” Mountain shares over lunch at Market Fresh Bistro in Makawao. Following in his parents eclectic footsteps, he has become a modern-day Renaissance Man on a mission.

Austin first left home for good at 18, penniless, with only a back pack slung over his shoulders. He hitch-hiked and traveled across the country, living on the streets, in the woods, in caves, jungles, beaches, you name it. In 2005, he left the country for Italy, where he mastered the fine art of glass blowing, and Greece, where he reunited with blood relatives. Over the years he began performing as a hip-hop MC (he’s now in an outfit called SubVerses), and has at times written his lyrics in both Greek and Italian, which he picked up during his travels. His glass artwork is currently on display at Sergent’s gallery in Lahaina. In addition, he has a knack for gourmet cooking (he works as a chef at Milagros to pay the bills) and can play 10 instruments.

“My mom started teaching me piano at the age of three, so I could read music before I could read words,” he remembers. “It’s no wonder my words come to me in a flow like music. I’ve been writing creatively ever since I learned to write.”

Despite his affinity for putting pen to paper, he hadn’t set foot on a slam poetry stage until late 2007.

“I’ve always been performing on a stage, you know. But I stayed away from doing slams for a long time, because of the fact that it’s judged art, and I think that’s bullshit,” he says. “For somebody to say they liked my piece more than somebody else’s is oftentimes outrageous. Because of that, I never actually started representing words on a stage until about three years ago in Seattle. “ Mountain’s first slam performance was of a poem called “Breathe.” He was so nervous, he says he was “kind of hyperventilating.”

The words, a call to action to an apathetic public, remain fresh in his mind:

We Earth natives are restless Our dramas, trials and cries leave me restless, breathless More than half of civilization is depth-less Better catch up before the death kiss But hopefully, already, you guessed this And get this: God gave you life, so quit acting like you are gift-less Simply breathe As he read the piece, he says he began

to see and feel the affect his words were having on the audience. “It felt good. I remember after I did it, that was the first time I realized I could move people with my words. I remember there was this one guy in particular who started crying while I was doing it, and that was pretty powerful to me, to see that could actually happen. That somebody just telling you something creatively can just draw the emotions like that.” Clearly transported back to that moment, Mountain begins to tear up himself.

He says that of all of the artistic mediums he works in, he “gets the most” and “feels the best” about poems.

His lyrical work tackles ambitious topics like war and love, over-consumption and faith, family and the afterlife, deftly plucking emotional strings we all have.

“There are times when literally I’ll write a piece and be done, and that’s just straight channeling. Its an absolute flow, and that’s amazing, it’s the most amazing feeling I’ve ever possibly gotten a hold of. I see how God is ultimately using me to affect the feelings of others.”

So where did this slam poetry come from, and how did it get to a tattoo shop in Paia?

THE ORIGINS OF SLAM Writing for the voice instead of for the page, slam poets have - for the better part of the last 30 years - been composing and performing on thousands of stages around the world.

At a slam, a poem’s worth is not determined by literary critics, but by the people it was written for. Because of this, slam poetry events represent a resurrection of community storytelling, a chance to bring issues and injustices to light that often aren’t covered in the mainstream media (hence the famous Gil ScottHeron phrase “the revolution will not be televised”). The audience and performers enlighten and inform one another.

Today’s slam poets owe a lot to hip-hop culture; the infectious beats and rhymes that climbed the charts in the ’80s gave birth to a new art form. Marc Smith is credited with originating slam in Chicago in 1984, though it really took hold in the cultural mecca that is New York City’s Lower East Side at a place called the Nuyorican Poets Cafe—a venue beat poet Allen Ginsburg called “the most diverse place on the planet.”

But the roots of performance poetry go deeper than that. Ginsburg himself said he saw the parallels between the Beat Poets of the 1950s and the ’80s and ’90s spoken word movement, and appreciated spoken word’s emphasis on returning poetry to the masses. “This movement is a great thing: the human voice returns, words return, nimble speech returns, nimble wit and rhyming return,” Ginsberg once said. “The movement is like a compost for poetry.

It serves to cultivate an interest in the art by cultivating a great audience—an audience of amateur practitioners.”

12 September 16, 2010

“FROM THE BEGINNING [MOUNTAIN] WAS ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF SPOKEN WORD ON MAUI,” SAYS MAUI SLAM CO-FOUNDER DAVE COENNEN. “THE JUDGES WEREN’T READY, BUT HE WAS.”

This connection to both hip-hop and the finger-snapping mid-century counter-culture may be why slam poetry has resonated so well with Maui’s diverse community of intellectuals, and why we see people of all ages frequenting the Maui Slam events.

FIERCE PASSION Maui Slam began in 2006, the brainchild of a Maui couple named Dave and Chela Coennen who owned a short-lived bookstore in Wailuku. Soon after the monthly slams—officially sanctioned by the national organization Poetry Slam Inc.—began, Mountain found his way to their stage. Dave Coennen (aka Slam Master D) says, “From the beginning [Mountain] was on the cutting edge of spoken word on Maui. The judges weren’t ready, but he was.”

Peterson explains his talents further.

“Mountain performs what’s commonly referred to as hip-hop poetry, where alliteration and rhyming play a particularly distinctive role. Most poets who consider themselves true slam poets or MCs—I would say—write a type of hip-hop poetry. There are a few other ‘core’ Maui Slam poets who write this type of poetry, however, unlike more urban areas, hiphop poetry is a rarity here—this makes

Mountain a unique and special artist.”

I remember being at a particular slam where Mountain—in his usual jittery fashion—took the stage and prefaced a new poem with, “I’m a little nervous right now! And I like being on a stage, but this is kind of special to me, so...”

With a deep breth, he then released a lush, intimate account of his relationship with his “girl” in a piece titled “Stringless Instrument”:

You’re a figment of a dream that woke me up for me to see That there’s more to love in life than what I previously perceived Like there’s more that binds the book than just the stitching and the sleeve See I love to love my Lover without the strings of selfish greed So I praise God and thank her mother just for making this child breathe...

Days later, I saw that an audience member had posted a video of the performance on Facebook and noticed the lingering “swoon effect” it still had—just like the potent feeling in the room that night when he recited it live. Everyone believed in that moment that his “girl” was the luckiest gal alive.

Mountain says that after that

performance, some of his more hardened, rough-around-the-edges male friends (he’s not naming names) came up to him confessing things like: “I wanted to tell you that I really appreciated what you said about your girl, it just really made me appreciate mine that much more,” and, “Yo, I love my girl too, man!”

“I’m definitely a heart on my sleeve kind of guy, and I take things in the world pretty seriously,” says Mountain.

“Writing these pieces is therapy to me, that’s how I work stuff out in my brain.

Then I realize I can do that in a format that doesn’t only help me, but I can help others out too, you know, since I feel like everybody experiences the same stuff in life. So, it’s my therapy and I choose to share it. So when did I realize I had a gift for writing? [Laughs] The first time I decided to share it. Ever since, I’ve done it with a fierce passion.”

This December, Austin and his “fierce passion” will be traveling to Charlotte, North Carolina, to represent Maui at the Individual World Poetry Slam 2010.

He was selected because of his regular successes at Maui Slam, and it’s the efforts of Maui Slam that will send him there (Peterson is helping him raise funds; donations can be made at mauislam.com).

According to the Poetry Slam, Inc. Web site: “Poets from all over the world will meet and compete in a multi-day performance poetry contest. Ninety-six of the world’s top performance poets representing slam venues from around the globe converge for three days of competition. These poets will compete to declare who is THE number one poet in the world.” The event’s date has switched around a few times, but is now confirmed for December 8.

When I ask Mountain about the possibility of being named the best slam poet in the world, his response is uncharacteristically humble. “I don’t care about the winning part at all, at all.

I feel honestly that the fact that I can talk to people, I can have a platform to share where my heart is, that’s what’s important to me. It’s almost like feeling like a preacher. I have a feeling that I have a message, I believe in that message and I want to share that with people. I think it opens them up, it tears down walls, it softens the hearts of those that care about it. I feel really blessed to be able to do that, so I don’t give a crap about winning.

Every time I do win, it’s surprising to me. I just feel blessed to be able to share what I feel.”

I could easily counter that Maui is blessed to have him and his gifts come alive on our island stages and how exciting it would be to have the World Poetry Slam champion hail from the Valley Isle. But I’ll just let Mountain’s words do the talking. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1413a

Vegas, Baby Eating and drinking in Sin City, the yin to Hawaii’s yang

L

as Vegas has long been a favorite destination for islanders. After years of waiting, I finally got to sample what makes Sin City so popular with Hawaii folks and even managed to venture off the beaten path.

I know what you are thinking: who cares about Nevada’s desert wasteland when I’m sitting pretty in paradise? Las Vegas is everything that Hawaii is not, adult Disneyland in a tight hot package. Its attractions are man-made, neon delights.

You get your days and nights reversed. You can legally drink, eat and gamble 24/7 (as long as you’ve had your 21st birthday).

(This being the Food & Drink section, I’ll focus on grinds and sippables. For a full account my my Vegas venture including tips on travel, accommodations and the hottest parties, visit mauidish.com.)

W

ith a buffet of 24-hour options, Las Vegas can feed you any time of the day or night. There are two major “neighborhoods” in Vegas: the strip and downtown. You’ll find a lot of Hawaii folks downtown; it’s older and more established. The strip is comprised of the mega-resort properties that line Las Vegas Boulevard. There’s a Roy’s and lots of sushi options, and Chinese take out (like at the Lanai Express at the Fremont where I got my 3am Saimin fix), but I zeroed in on the kind of foods I can’t get back home.

Downtown has a few Cuban joints like

Florida Cafe and Q-Ba, or Mexican and Cuban fusion at Mamitas in the Fremont East district, right off of the Fremont Street Experience. The Cuban food at Mamita’s—a nice little hole-in-the-wall—is served with a healthy dose of cultural color, plus they have ’80s Latin videos that kept us amused throughout the meal. They make a tasty black bean chile and fried plantains; combine the two for a balanced sweet and savory experience, Caribbean style.

Fine Dining and sight seeing are combined in fashionable French flair at Alize at the top of the Palms. Chef and proprietor André Rochat is one of the top restauranteurs in Vegas and has maintained an elegant menu and intimate, romantic experience in his 56th-floor dining room since 2001. The views are some of the best in the city; you can see the entire strip skyline. In fact, while I dined, a helicopter flew by at eye level.

The French cuisine is incredible, and their extensive wine list catapults it to the next dimension. The chef can do a five or seven-course tasting menu, paired or not, or you can venture through the menu at your leisure. The sauteed foie gras is memorable, served over a delicate apple crisp and vanilla creme anglaise, thus nailing the classic but blissful salty and sweet palate combination (best enjoyed while sipping the Carnes de Rieussec Sauternes). Alize is known for it’s collection of cognac, and also offers flights of port, armagnac and calvados. Don’t leave without having the dessert souffle.

You must order it with dinner to give it

time to bake, and it comes to your table ass a spectacular hot fluff in chocolate or Grand Marnier. r.

For locovoree deconstructed, visit the Hash House A Go Go at the Imperial Sin Palace. This place is taking American cuisine and reinterpreting interpreting it, adding fresh veggies and incredible sauces and giving you a new dining experience. It’s cornfed livestock meets local ingredients, with entrees featuring the bounty of our American farms and re-imagined dishes in huge portions. The dining room features new-school galvanized metals and Naugahyde seats with an old fashioned flair. The cocktail menu is in line with their overall philosophy; I had a BLT Bloody Mary, served in a pint glass, with a rib of romaine and crisp bacon garnish along with a piece of dry toast. The Mary was zesty and rimmed with bacon salt. Their mimosas are stellar as well, also served in a pint glass with fresh juices; try the tangerine. The eggs Benedict was served with biscuits and mashed potatos and a red pepper cream with tomatoes and spinach. It was out of this world, and bigger than my head. Expect leftovers.

Speaking of which, the best thing about leftovers in Vegas is that it means you can take the rest of your cocktail to go. My pint glass of champagne got tossed in a cup with a lid and I hit the strip ready for inebriated early-afternoon action.

Every major casino from downtown to the strip carries top-shelf liquor. It’s cheaper in the downtown area; you’ll pay extra to drink in the glam of the strip, but you can also find some great sidewalk bars that keep it real. ■

Getting the Green Light Four seasoned players with a fresh moniker prove there’s plenty of room for their genre to grow The Green Next Gig: Thursday (September 16), 7:30pm, Castle Theater, MACC, $20/$25/$30 New Album: The Green (2010) Essential Tracks: “What Will Be Will Be,” “Never,” “Trod The Hard Road,” “Rootsie Roots” Online: The Green Band on Facebook; myspace.com/thegreen808; @thegreenband on Twitter

G

o ahead — judge The Green by its cover. Amidst the piles of often insipid discs that cross our editorial desks, The Green’s 2010 self-titled debut shines like the Honolulu city lights that decorate it (with an original illustration by artist — and childhood friend of the group — Kamea Hadar). But where other artists’ albums may mislead with fortunate design (although on occasions all too few and far between), this band’s brand of local reggae does not disappoint, and further still is an exciting indication as to how they might grow.

This 13-track, all-original record may have just dropped in early February, but fans

recently toured California with Mystic Roots); but have found a sound balance with their current configuration.

“The cool thing about our band is that we’re all very different,” says Kennedy.

“We’re all very similar in a lot of ways, but (ultimately) we’re all very different — and that’s what I think makes us unique.”

Their sold out shows and radio wave-

“The Green’s 2010 self-titled debut shines like the Honolulu city lights that decorate it... But where other artists’ albums may mislead with fortunate design, this band’s brand of local reggae does not disappoint.” are by no means green (sorry... there will be a few) to the foursome behind the music; comprised of Ikaika Antone (keys, vocals), JP Kennedy (guitar, bass, vocals), Caleb Keolanui (lead vocals) and Zion Thompson (guitar, percussion, vocals). The proverbial seeds for The Green were planted years ago, with well known endeavors like Stir Crazy, THC and Humble Soul (with Antone and Thompson), as well as The Next Generation (with all but Thompson, who himself

takeover are evidence of their quality sound — true to roots, though not afraid of rock riffs and shades of soul — that more than gives hope to a Jawaiian genre that is often stale and incestuous-sounding.

“We’re working hard,” Kennedy says. “We have a lot of new music, actually, that we’re kind of forced to hold back,” he adds of not wanting to put out too much too quickly.

“We might release a single, or two or three tracks in December.” Maui audiences will have

the opportunity to preview some of this new music at the band’s MACC concert tonight (Thursday, September 17) — their first Valley Isle show in over seven months, says Kennedy (and not since prior to their album’s release).

“We have a few tracks that we’ve been practicing, and we’d like to see how the crowd likes (them),” Kenndey says, before adding with a small chuckle, “well, we like to play them.”

As for where this overgrowth of material comes from, Kennedy says “we all have a pretty healthy library of (original) music,” with each member partaking in the songwriting process, “but Caleb is kind of going on a rampage right now.” Keolanui — Kennedy’s cousin, who he says despite his lead vocal position, can sometimes be shy (and as a little-known factoid, goes by the nickname “Sniggs”) — is The Green’s youngest member, having just turned 21 years old, and has been “showing up” the rest of the band with his voracity for songcraft. “There’s a lot that’s going to be coming from Caleb in the next couple years, for sure.”

As for the band as a whole, “we definitely want to take our production to the next level,” Kennedy says. Despite their various successes, he remains humbly forwardlooking by saying “we’re focused on getting the best sound, and are pretty confident about what we’re going to have in the future.” And it’s all systems go future that’s bright indeed. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1413m

Film Critique

‘Town’ Jewel Former tabloid pretty-boy Ben Affleck proves he’s a filmmaker worth watching The Town

★★★★★

Rated R/125 min.

A

career criminal (Ben Affleck) and his trigger-happy partner (Jeremy Renner) commit an elaborate bank robbery that puts them on every most-wanted list and leaves an eyewitness and hostage (Rebecca Hall) who may hold the key to bringing them to justice. This is merely the set-up of Affleck’s second directorial effort, following the terrific Gone, Baby Gone. I walked in expecting a decent movie but was blindsided by a potential Best Picture contender.

Affleck has set out to make the Boston equivalent of Michael Mann’s Heat and he almost gets there. That’s high praise.

Affleck took a calculated risk by casting his brother Casey as the lead in his previous

film and it paid off. Here the former megaceleb—who has been under the radar for a while after some disastrous movies and a stint in the tabloids—casts himself as the star (he also co-wrote the screenplay) and it’s hard to remember the last time he gave a performance this layered. The big news, however, is Renner, the Oscar-nominated star of The Hurt Locker, who displays a ferociousness and suave charisma that reminded me of a young Sean Penn.

Even when the roles are under-developed, the cast of this sprawling pulp drama keeps the characters vivid. Blake Lively brings a tragic dimension to her change-of-pace turn as a neighborhood floozy. Jon Hamm is well-cast in a part that showcases his heroic features (the guy just looks like a superhero), while Hall makes a potentially thankless role a heartbreaker and underrated character actor Pete Postlethwaite epitomizes evil walking in broad daylight.

The story is sometimes contrived, with a

I say we go pour sugar in Taguma’s gas tank again.

too-tidy resolution cribbed from countless cop TV shows. Still, few cop dramas, on film or television, grab you from the first scene the way this one does and build to a climax that manages to be tragic, crowd-pleasing and teasingly unpredictable. The heist scenes are well-staged but the big shoot-out at the end is, frankly, incredible; Affleck’s ability to stage something this large and ambitious left me dumbstruck.

It isn’t fair to compare this to Gone, Baby Gone because they’re such different films, with only the affection for Boston providing a connecting thread. Whereas Gone was somber

and moving, The Town (an improvement over Prince of Thieves, the title of the novel it’s based on) crackles with suspense, surprising doses of humor and enthralling drama. This is one of those hugely entertaining, well-crafted studio movies with an intoxicating story, like The Shawshank Redemption, that will likely become a favorite of many.

Two movies into his directorial career and Affleck has become a filmmaker worth keeping an eye on. ■ To share or save this article, type: mt.hy.pr/1413f

This Week's Picks Birthstones, Beats & Benefits

I

n 1870, Tiffany and Co. (no doubt for marketing purposes) published passages purportedly of Gregorian tradition, poetically describing birthstones attributed to each month. September’s stanza reads, “A maiden born when autumn leaves / Are rustling in September’s breeze / A sapphire on her brow should bind / To bring her joy and peace of mind.” Sapphires—a crystalline form of aluminum oxide—are cool, but tin is cooler. Tin Can Nights at Mulligans on the Blue—which includes a drive for the Maui Food Bank—have been a Tuesday mainstay for nearly a year now, with music by Murray Thorne (6:30-8:30pm) and stand-up comedy hosted by Shaggy Jenkins of Q103 (9-10pm). No Cover; 874-1131; mulligansontheblue.com Mauians have another cool opportunity to help the hungry this week, with a canned food drive and special concert with Kanekoa at Diamonds Ice Bar & Grill this Friday (September 17), celebrating another ellipses around the sun for none other than Noah Francis. Who’s Noah Francis? Frankly, I don’t know. But, I’ve heard from more than a few that he’s a way-cool dude. The kind of dude who likes to give rather than receive, and who has turned his birthday into a benefit for Maui’s needy bellies—thus deserving to be showered with joy, peace of mind and, sure, sapphires if you’ve got ’em. 10pm; $5 or canned goods donation; 874-9299 Still feeling all warm and fuzzy from this Friday night? Keep it up by attending another benefit on Saturday (September 18), at Oceans Bar & Grill. Local bands One Inity, Pac Vibe and Manalii join forces for the Na Hoa Mele Benefit Concert, to help a little girl named Ailana Mamac-Tangaro who’s battling Leigh’s Disease, a rare neurometabolic disorder that affects the central nervous system. 10pm; $10; 891-2414 Oh, and (speaking of benefits for girls with “A” names and rare “L” diseases... I know, shameless—but out of overwhelming gratitude), if you have yet to get your tickets for next Friday’s (September 24) huge ZEPTEMBER concert (also at Mulligans; $10 advance/$15 door), you can do so at Requests, Wow Wee Maui’s Kava Bar & Grill, Westside Vibes, 808 Deli or Wings Hawaii. Billed as an “epic tribute to rock and roll’s greatest band,” it’s a night that will live up to that and much more, with bass and beats by Shawn Michael and Josh Greenbaum of the Vince Esquire Band, along with an all-star cast of local guitarists and vocalists including Tom Conway, Vince Esquire, Kaulana Kanekoa, Kanoa Kukaua, Jessica Rabbit, Joette Burke, Mary Jane Babashoff, Nils Rosenblad, Phil Ellison, Chris Sendry, Erin Smith, Murray Thorne, Pete Sebastian, Kahala, Cheryl Rae, Jack Gist, Halemanu Villiarimo and more. Presented by KAOI FM 95.1, Mulligans, Wow Wee Maui, Awakeningonline.com and MauiTime—with endless aloha to Scott Johnson of Dogtowne Design—sound, stage and groovy lights will be provided by Pete Lago of Maui Wave Studios and Trish “The Dish” Smith of Maui Weekly fame will helm the night as mistress of ceremonies. And—rumor mill has it—some out-of-thisstratosphere surprises are in store, thanks to Bounty Music, Dave Murray of Iron Maiden, and maybe even Willie K and Paula Fuga.

The Benefit Will Be Televised

In Playboys and Killjoys: An Essay on the Theory and Practice of Comedy, American literary critic Harry Levin writes, “The most protean aspect of comedy is its potentiality for transcending itself, by responding to the conditions of tragedy by laughing in the darkness.” The very protean Comedy Hui cast members—who boldly and wittily transcend themselves with regular improvisational shows—have PHOTO BY JACK GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY had audiences guffawing in the blackbox darkness of the McCoy Studio Theater, with the only tragedy being they perform but monthly. For September’s showcase, the wahine of the troupe take over, with special guest Kathy Collins. Witty though they may be, attendees must also have their wits about them.

In the style of Who’s Line Is It Anyway?, audience members are asked to (quickly, mind you) shout-out characters and situations for each theater game played, which the hui impressively executes without the aide of costumes, props or set pieces, in the “pure” styling of Los Angeles’ Groundlings Theatre, the training ground of director/producer Amanda Taulere. (They do, it should be mentioned, get occasional assists from their “funkalicious” live band.) It’s entirely engaging, at times outrageous and is sure to have you laughing all the way to next month’s installment. Hui: comedyhui.com; MACC: 242-7469, mauiarts.org

O Akaku. From Council Oh, meetings to election coverage to crazy late-night cooking shows, what would we do without them? To ensure no one has to answer that disturbing rhetorical question, attend the station’s big benefit blowout this Friday. The event will feature live music from the likes of Eric Gilliom, Fusion Sol featuring Sunny Gorg, The Vince Esquire Band, Steve Grimes, Dr. Nat and Rio Ritmo, Terri Garrison and more, plus comedy, ono eats, a silent auction, a dunking booth (no word on who’s getting wet, but it is campaign season) and, speaking of campaign season, politicians will man the phones to take donations. Proceeds will go straight back to Maui’s only—and one of Hawaii’s precious few—independent community access outfits. This is free speech we’re talking about folks, but even if you don’t care about that (hey, it’s only the First Amendment), it’s also a great party. See you there. 871-5554, akaku.org

uuuuuuude, this made me cream my panties. No lie,â&#x20AC;? wrote MauiTimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Ynez Tongson on my Facebook page, in response to a paparazzisnapped photo of Paris Hilton (nonchalantly not) shielding her face with our recent Taste of Maui issue. (For Hiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter dish on the whole shebang, see this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quizunderstood, page 8.)

And, rumor has it, MPD employed the same tactics with our allpurpose paper, when gallantly coming to this heiressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aid. (Though OfďŹ cer Keith Taguma recently told our art director Chris Skiles that the only thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good for is picking up his dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poo. Hmm. Wonder why?) While I could give two poops about Paris, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admittedly hard not to love photographic evidence of our pubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide appeal. (Honestly, I was unaware Hilton could read. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what BFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are for, right â&#x20AC;&#x153;bitchesâ&#x20AC;??)

Ynezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butyraceous (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a word; look it up) sentiments were likewise returned, when she posted her own Facebook photo album titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;MauiTime Gets Aroundâ&#x20AC;? (apparently, even more than Hilton). See, Ynezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ashes of genius are akin to the perpetual storm of Jupiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Great Red Spot, and while recently traversing Japan and Los Angeles, she had the presence of mind to photograph issues of MauiTime and a retro press pass in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo (even, more speciďŹ cally, around the famed Harajuku Station of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shibuya ward), downtown LA and Orange Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Discovery Center in Santa Ana (where in one pic, a T-Rex skullâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which has more brains than Hiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is â&#x20AC;&#x153;omnom-nomingâ&#x20AC;? a Taste of Maui issue).

This prompted comments from alert (online) readers like Bion Howard, who said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last October I saw a copy in a boutique hotel lobby, in Saigon Dist. 1!!

Wish I had a photo to prove it.â&#x20AC;? (We do too.) Our hope now is that this will inspire others to snap globespanning images of our ďŹ ne publication and send them in (seedy night vision welcome).

OK. A few too many Paris Hilton jokesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and not

even good ones, at that. But when it comes to promoting MauiTime, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll limbo in a skirt; no shame, brah. (BTW, have you heard about ZEPTEMBER?) And hey, speaking of shameless self-promotion: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost election time! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get cynical, but these are the peeps who, for better or worse, will helm our Valley Isle vessel in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;loveliest ďŹ&#x201A;eet of islands anchored in any oceanâ&#x20AC;? (so says Maui fan Mark Twain).

So for this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m peeling off my proverbial â&#x20AC;&#x153;ainokeaâ&#x20AC;? bumper sticker, replacing it with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Voted!â&#x20AC;? one and ensuring each and every box I check is backed by careful thought. Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna pull a Paris and arm myself with MauiTime (e.g. last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Primary Election Endorsements issue). Regardless of the resources (if any) you employ before doing your civic duty, I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join me. â&#x2013;

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) It’s funny when little kids think they’re getting away with something, because they have no subtlety or craftiness whatsoever. Everything they’re up to is completely obvious to any adult observer. In some ways, you Virgos never outgrow this. Although of course you’ve developed more social skills and can lie effectively when necessary, there are certain feelings you simply suck at hiding.

Don’t bother trying, because it’s completely transparent to most of us, and just makes you look a bit silly or naïve. Try just being boldly honest about what you’re experiencing; since we already know, you’ll come off as impressively forthright.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Naturally, you always have the right to change your mind. However, that doesn’t mean the whole world must change to accommodate your new decision. This is especially true in relationships.

If you went in with one understanding, and now want a new one, it’s perfectly reasonable to try to gently and clearly renegotiate. However, it’s not the least bit fair to become accusatory or enraged if the other person isn’t interested. At that point, since the ideal scenario you hoped for has proven impossible, you’ve got to decide between some less-than-ideal ones. Spend this week weighing those bittersweet options and figuring out which one is best for you.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Usually, it’s you reminding others that they can’t always get what they want (so frequently, you!).

However, that’s a lesson you have to learn all too often yourself, and this week is likely to provide another unignorable reminder. Instead of railing against it, trying to fight it, argue about it, or plunge into a depression over it, can you try to simply accept it. If you can do so swiftly and gracefully, without hesitation or fuss, you’re very likely to nearly instantly discover something new that could almost completely distract you from your unrequited desires. However, if you spend more than a minute resisting the inevitable, you may be stuck contemplating it, distraction-less, for quite some time.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC.21) A new setting can expose new facets of yourself that you either didn’t know about or don’t often get expressed. While this is usually a fun and positive thing, it can occasionally have negative repercussions, like bringing out a side of you that you’re less than fond of. This may be the case this week in any situation that takes you out of your comfort zone—suddenly you may discover that you’re capable of more bitchiness, bossiness, or intractability than you ever imagined. Try to be graceful about these sides of yourself—but also more importantly, more compassionate when they emerge in others.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Being bored can be good sometimes. When you’re taken out of your comfort zone and away from the familiar activities you usually use to keep busy, you’re forced to become more creative and find ways to fill your time. Sometimes, this process takes quite a while; being bored for 15 minutes won’t quite do the trick. However, try being bored for two weeks and I guarantee at the end of that fortnight you’ll have found numerous entertaining pastimes you’d never have considered before. For the next couple weeks, strictly cut yourself completely off from two of your most time-consuming activities—just to see what might come forth to take up the space they leave behind. It may prove far more fulfilling.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) It’s shocking to me, in this day and age, just how wasteful some people can be, even though we’ve basically been taught to recycle and cut down on unnecessary waste for the past two decades, at least.

I don’t expect people to be perfect or have no ecological footprint, of course, but I’m just dismayed at how blatantly some people simply don’t give a shit, at all. I’ll assume you’re not one of these; however, most of us could significantly improve how we treat our planet—this week, find ways to do exactly that.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) I’ve been vegetarian for over twenty years, so it’s unlikely I’ll start eating meat any time soon. However, if I did, you can bet your last dollar that it’d be free-range and organic. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with eating meat, but there’s a whole bunch wrong with the chemicals and cruelty involved with factory farming. This is my judgment call, and while I think I’m absolutely right, I wouldn’t think to impose my will on others; the most I’d do is encourage them to find the information to be totally conscious about the choices they’re making, and their potential consequences. This week, try to limit your own proselytization of your worthy agenda to similar encouragement.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) If simple willpower could delay a rainy day, you’d be wreaking havoc with the world’s weather systems. Lately, you’ve been applying an awful lot of energy and thought to stuff you really can’t affect. While I know you have plenty more where that came from, just imagine how much more productive you’d be if you didn’t throw so much of your time and focus at stuff you can’t budge. This week, assess how effective your various efforts are likely to be—if you discover you have time and resources that’d be better spent elsewhere, please reallocate them at once.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) There’s a peach tree here that only produces hard, crunchy peaches—but they’re the most delicious peaches I’ve had in years. Even though their texture is unexpected (they’re more like apples than the peaches I usually eat), I was surprised at just how flavorful they are. Similarly, someone or something entering your life this week might have a shape or facet that you’re not familiar with or fond of—but give them a try anyway. You may be pleasantly surprised at how much the rest of them can compensate for that one “flaw,” and soon enough realize this new flavor’s not just equivalent—it’s better.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Learnanotherlanguage.Geminis,morethananyothersign,benefitfromtheabilitytoseethingsindifferentways, and thinking in a foreign tongue gives your thoughts different shapes than you’re used to, and takes your mind in unexpected directions. There’s no underestimating the wonderful stuff you brilliant Twins come up with when equipped with the proper tools. I hope you’re not too lazy to seriously pursue becoming fluently multilingual, but if you are, spend this week brainstorming other ways in which you can (at least temporarily) radically alter your perception of the world, and, hopefully, trying some of them out.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Your friends and I are always counseling you to let things go. Of course, we know that’s easier said than done, especially for you Cancers. Unfortunately, you’re not going to like your horoscope much this week, because I’m just going to tell you that you need to let go of one more thing you just don’t want to let go of. Don’t get too frustrated with me, though. You know that this is the recurring lesson you’ll need to learn throughout your life. Although you’ll never outgrow it, you’ll hopefully find that each time you’re forced to relearn it, you’ll be able to do so with more swiftness, ease, and grace.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Sometimes I must actively avoid humanity in order to keep from being overwhelmed by cynicism about it.

People can be fantastic, inspiring, and creative—but they can also suck. Whenever I think that I’m going to get too pissed off about hypocrisy, stupidity, cruelty, or ignorance, I beat a fast retreat and chill out by myself for a while until I can keep my eyes on the big picture and remember that there are many positives to accompany the negatives. If you’re having trouble noticing that fact, follow my example, and hide out until it gets a little easier.
