Welcome to Nightlife Guide

Know your facts: Prevent alcohol poisoning A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor Drinking is present at most college parties. Avoid ruining your night with a trip to the ER by following these drinking dos and don’ts:

D O know your limits. Alcohol affects people differently. Height, weight, gender, ethnicity, physical condition, food consumed prior to drinking, use of drugs or medication and time all play significant roles in determining how alcohol affects you.

DONʼ T drink and drive. In Hawai‘i, the blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.08 percent. Use a BAC calculator to fi nd a rough estimate of how much alcohol you can consume before you reach the BAC limit. It takes one hour for your body to process the alcohol found in one drink.

LEVI VILORIA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

There are about 50,000 cases of reported alcohol poisoning in the U.S. annually.

D O take note of the alcohol content of your drink. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that a standard drink in

the United th U it d States St t iis “12 ounces off beer, eight ounces of malt liquor, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits or liquor.”

D O N ʼ T assume one can “sleep it off.” Blood alcohol content level can increase even when the person is unconscious. If someone passes out, make sure to turn the person onto his or her side so the person won’t choke on his or her vomit.

D O take precautions. If you’re going to an unfamiliar setting,

ith friends f i d you trust. t t Make M k go with sure you have a back-up plan to get home, whether it’s catching a cab or calling a friend for a ride.

Drink alcohol in moderation and avoid binge drinking.

D O N ʼ T be too proud to seek help. Get immediate medical attention for someone who may be experiencing alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol poisoning can result in severe dehydration and permanent brain damage or death.

S YM P T OM S O F A L CO H O L P O I S O N I N G According to collegedrinkingprevention. gov, these are some of the symptoms of alcohol poisoning: -Mental confusion, stupor or coma -Vomiting -Seizures

-Slow breathing (equal to or less than eight breaths per minute) -Irregular breathing (equal to or greater than 10 seconds between breaths) -Hypothermia (low body temperature, bluish/pallid complexion)

Game on at Nocturna Lounge V I D E O GA M E S

BR ANDON HOO Associate Chief Copy Editor

Nocturna Lounge is one of Hawai‘i’s newer nighttime venues.

In addition to alcohol and karaoke, it offers something else: video games. While this three-hit combo may make for a great night in with friends, does Nocturna do it better?

ATMO S P H E R E Located in Waterfront Plaza (formerly Restaurant Row), Nocturna is easy to fi nd with lots of available parking. There is no cover charge to get in, but it is for the 21-and-over crowd only.

Nocturna can get loud in the main lounge area, which is made up of the bar, four separate television stations for video games and a large screen projector for karaoke.

For private parties, Nocturna offers four rooms for rent. The smaller two are geared towards karaoke and can get cramped with more than 10 people inside. The larger two are video game-oriented and offer setups like “Rock Band” for larger groups.

The four televisions run three Xbox 360s and one Wii. Games are free to play in the lounge area and can be switched out by customers. Its game selections are party-oriented, with offerings like “Street Fighter,” “Dance Central” and “Call of Duty.”

Nocturna also holds CHALLENGE!! events, which puts you up against either the owners or other Nocturna patrons. There are also two always-on challenges against Nocturna employees.

K A R AO K E Karaoke in the lounge area is $2 per song. The English song selection is extensive and up-to-date. Nocturna also runs a Korean song system with recent songs, so you can have fun attempting to sing and dance along to “Gangnam Style.” Japanese songs are also offered via the Korean system, and the same song selections are also offered in the private rooms.

ALCOHOL Nocturna offers a few specialty cocktails and martinis with fun names like It’s-A-Tea,

There’s no need to head to the bar for your drinks, since the waitresses can bring your order and accept your payment as well.

JOCELYN NYSTROM Contributing Writer It may be the Irish beer on tap, the gourmet cuisine or the game of shuffle board that draws college students into Murphy’s Bar and Grill. This downtown Irish pub caters to the business lunch, evening cocktail and weekend sports crowd.

Murphy’s original moniker was the Royal Hotel: It was a place frequented by merchants, ship captains, and royalty – including King Kalākaua himself. Current owner Don Murphy purchased the space and opened Murphy’s Bar and Grill in 1987.

FOOD Eager to try a taste of Irish cuisine, I devoured the authentic Irish Dip ($11.75), a Guinness-flavored au jus with thin slices of sirloin on a baguette with horseradish mayonnaise that satisfied my craving for comfort food. The hoppy flavors of the thick Guinness Stout beer, one of 16 unique flavors offered on tap, was savory. The Bread Pud-

ding smothered with Irish Whisky sauce, topped with whipped cream ($5) was also an excellent choice.

Appetizers ranged from $5.50 -$10, salads from $5.50 $18, sandwiches and burgers $10.25 -$11.75, entrees $14.50 $19, and desserts $4.50 -$5. The menu is priced for a college student ’s budget but can add up quickly. If you are feeling adventurous, ask your ser ver or bartender to surprise you with either the beer of the week or Murphy’s weekly special.

SERVICE The service was excellent, as I was greeted by the cheerful hostess within minutes of stepping in the door. My server was prompt in anticipating my needs and offered a description of the local favorites. The atmosphere was relaxed but upbeat as couples played shuffl e board and immersed themselves in the crowd.

The walls were decorated with Irish draft knobs and an eclectic array of rustic decor.

VERDICT

I left feeling satisfied on every level, but the only caveat is the lack of parking nearby. Parking is available in a lot across the street for $10. Murphy’s is the perfect place to grab a cocktail with the girls or catch a University of Hawai‘i football game.

Be smart: Check out Genius Lounge CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor

The spectrum of Waikīkī’s bars run from upscale lounges to lively dive bars. I tend to feel out of place in these two extremes and was looking for something in the middle – classy but comfortable.

Yelp suggested Genius Lounge Sake Bar & Grill, so I decided to explore this place hidden away on a quiet section of Lewers Street.

ATMO S P H E R E

Genius Lounge relies on candles for much of its lighting, giving this venue a trendy and romantic feel. The indoor and outdoor seating areas have tables for two as well as those that can accommodate larger groups. I preferred the outside lānai area because it is well lit and the noise level is minimal, making it a suitable choice for couples.

There is a nice view from the balcony, adding an extra nuance to the intimate atmosphere.

What I liked about Genius Lounge was its eclectic nature.

The crowd is a good mix of local residents, Japanese nationals and the occasional tourists. The music – which was loud but not to the point where conversation became difficult – features a playlist of contemporary hits that don’t adhere to a specifi c genre. Even the drinks and food come with surprising diversity.

DRINKS True to its name, Genius Lounge boasts a wide selection – at least four pages of its drink menu – of sake (Japanese alcohol made from fermented rice) of all grades. The samplers are popular and excellent for people who have no knowledge of sake.

Don’t think that you have to like sake to enjoy yourself here.

Genius Lounge has a full bar, including shochu (Japanese alcohol distilled from sweet potatoes), beer, hard liquor and cocktails. Be sure to go during Happy Hour (6-8 p.m.) for drink specials. I don’t like sake, but I found the sake mixed drinks ($4 Happy Hour, $9 regular price) pleasant.

FOOD One would expect Genius Lounge to have Japanese food to accompany its sake, and it does, but Italian-inspired dishes also have a strong presence on the menu. For appetizers, we tried the yaki edamame: soybeans that are broiled rather than boiled, with generous amounts of sea salt sprinkled on top ($4.50). It was interesting and addicting – the kind of snack that you keep on eating.

We also tried the Genius House Salad ($4.50), very reasonably priced considering the size, and the Pasta Vongole ($12), which is made with the kind of fi rm noodles preferred in the Japanese culture. Both were delicious, but the

entrees are nott very llarge – d don’t t ’t go to Genius Lounge too hungry.

S E RV I C E The service was slow, partly because we chose to sit outside; waiting for someone to come around to take our order was what took the longest.

The drinks were served quickly, but main dishes took a while to come out.

What Genius Lounge’s service lacks in speed, it makes up for in quality. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating. When we asked our server for sake recommendations, he made a few suggestions and even brought out small samples free of charge.

If you’re looking for a place to take a date or to relax with friends without the extra hype or Waikīkī price, Genius Lounge is ideal. With such a comfortable atmosphere, you’ll be enjoying your drinks and your company well into the night.

Night on the Town

Autumn starts with ARTafterDARK AVERIE’ SOTO Contributing Writer

COURTESY OF HONOLULU MUSEUM OF ART

Past ARTafterDARK themes include “Heroes & Villains” and “Tokyo Story.”

From the art of Asia to the works of the Renaissance, the Honolulu Museum of Art has both protected and promoted the beauty of artistic skill since 1927. As summer draws to a close, artistic passion and creativity will ignite the museum on Sept. 28 and Oct. 26 through ARTafterDARK. Founded nine years ago and held at the end of every

month, the museum’s volunteer-organized art party features distinctive themes from various artists. In September, the party will feature the sounds of New York City’s DJ Rekha, and in October, guests will scream with “Freak Out!” as the theme.

MEMORABLE IN SEPTEMBER Sponsored by clothing line Tori R ichard, this Sep tember’s A R TafterDA R K party will host “Accha!: A night of bhangra beats.”

Guests and members will enjoy an evening of artwork and rhythmic sounds. “ The Honolulu Museum of A rt has a ver y large Indian A rt galler y donated by the Watumull Family,” stated L esa Griffith, the museum’s director of communications. “Indian culture is ver y rich, and it made sense to make India the theme this month.” In Hindi culture, the word “accha” can have

many meanings, including “great ” or “I see.” A long with this theme comes the sounds of bhangra, folk music comprised of traditional drumbeats, reggae, soul, rock and hip -hop.

Music will be provided by DJ Rekha. The creator of the popular music party “Basement Bhangra” at the S.O.B. nightclub in Brooklyn. DJ Rekha was introduced to the Honolulu Museum of Art in 2008 and appeared once again in 2009.

In addition to the Indian galler y, all other galleries will be open for the public’s enjoyment.

A sponsor has yet to be chosen for the event. The Honolulu Museum of Art website will offer more information as the event draws closer.

THE SCARE FOR OCTOBER The Honolulu Museum of Art has decided on “Freak Out!” as the theme for the ARTafterDark party on Oct. 26. It is centered on Halloween and guests are invited to attend the party in costume to enjoy an evening of fi ne art.

MEMORABLE IN SEPTEMBER When: Friday, Sept. 28, 6 p.m.-9 p.m.

Support your teams, watch the games JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor It is a Thursday night and there’s nothing to do.

What is there to do on a weeknight that is also inexpensive? How about going to see one of the nation’s top 10 women’s volleyball teams?

Currently ranked No. 8, Hawai‘i’s volleyball team plays its home games at Stan Sheriff Center, a five minute walk from the Hale Aloha freshman dorms.

Going to school sporting events is one of the many options that students at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have to choose from in terms of nightlife entertainment. However, unlike many of the other choices that Hawai‘i has to offer, students have free admission to athletic events with a validated student ID. Also currently in season are the Rainbow Wahine soccer team, who play at Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium, and the Warrior Football team, who play at Aloha Stadium.

“You only go to college once in a lifetime and a lot of people don’t understand that,” said senior defensive end Paipai Falemalu of the Warrior football team.

“We’re supposedly the biggest show in town. We’re the highest level of competition on the island. We don’t have a professional team, and their [the students’] support for us is greatly appreciated.”

Although the football stadium is located off campus, the school provides free bus transportation to games for students who have valid IDs. Students showing up to games also benefit the athletes playing. “They’re the twelfth person on the field. Whether we’re up or we’re down they keep us going and keep us energized,” said Falemalu.

The women’s soccer team currently has four home games left on its schedule, while the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team has 10 home matches remaining. The football team, which has been attempting to increase attendance in the student section, has four home games left at Aloha Stadium this season. “[There is] going to be great intensity, great execution, and it’s going to be a great game every weekend, so why not come watch your home team play?” asked junior cornerback Mike Edwards. “If they [the students] want to see a great show, see great football Saturday night, and they want to see us fight to the end, then where else would you want to be but Aloha Stadium?”

ter Board

To enhance student life on campus, the Campus Center Board’s (CCB) Programming Arms, Activities Council and Student Recreational Council, offers many opportunities for students to get involved through various programs. One of the Campus Center Board’s goals is to make the Campus Center the “living room” of the university. After a long week’s hustle and bustle of academics, it’s always nice to have that leeway of leisure time with friends.

The Campus Center Board’s Activities Council (AC) targets all UH students and occasionally the general public to participate at free events every Friday night. The events range from movie nights and create-a-bears, to poker nights, and concerts. There is an activity for each type of persona. The Activities Council is a student-based organization working towards meeting student demands. Activities Council Chairperson, Aaron Dyogi says, “We try something to do on a Friday night in the Campus Center, so mark your calendars and check it out!”

Campus Center Board also encourages students to get active with the Student Recreational Council (SRC). Chairperson, Jaqueline Donovan states, “We really try to reach out to as many students as possible and this is why we hold such a diverse selection of events.” SRC always promotes excellent sportsmanship solely for the students’ wellbeing and overall enjoyment. Upcoming events such as the 4-on-4 Co-Ed Volleyball, 3-on-3 Basketball, Men’s 9 Ball Tournament, and Indoor Pass Football Tournament provide healthy alternatives to other activities held on Friday nights.

The Programming Arms of CCB join together to better life for the students and it’s other constituents. CCB supports all the aspects of college life. So, the board welcomes you to engage in the many opportunities presented!

THE BEST OF IRISH PUBS!

BEST IRISH BAR DOWNTOWN: O’Toole’s. Downtown’s got a quite a few Irish locales these days, but O’Toole’s has got the whole package – the ambiance of a little pub, a huge board of Boston Red Sox memorabilia, and live Irish music from the Doolin Rakes every weekend. Add to that a positively enormous selection of whiskeys and of course, Guinness on tap: this place has that distinct and pleasant Irish pub feel.

BEST 'LITTLE' ROCK CLUB IN WAIKIKI: The Irish Rose Saloon is off the beaten path, tucked away on the second floor of a building next to a 7-11, not on Waikiki’s main drag. But it's surprisingly spacious, and they've got live bands playing every night, on a stage with a great sound system. Awesome bands like Masters of OZ and Elephant tromp across the stage every weekend, and the room always remains friendly, whether there’s 10 or 100 people in the place.

BEST PLACE FOR DINNER AND A SHOW: Kelley O’Neil’s. Okay, this one’s tongue in cheek.

Kelley’s has got some great pub/grill food – they make a fantastic burger and the Guinness pies are a unique and fun addition to the pub menu.

The band goes on right after the kitchen closes.

The band is not the show though. The show is the people. Being centrally located in Waikiki with live music every night means that all sorts end up in here, and the music is generally just low enough to talk over it. With odd folks and odder conversations sometimes flying about, you might wonder if you’re in the someplace like the cantina from Star Wars.

BEST PLACE TO CATCH A SHOWING OF LOCAL BANDS: Anna O'Brien's is right around the corner from UH on Beretania St and has shows weekly, with music of all styles: reggae, blues, punk, and an Original Songwriters night for the acoustic guitar and piano crowd. Other places might have live music every night – but for a rotating stable of local artists, Anna’s is where it’s at.

Calling all nocturnal party animals: Crave the rave but keep your limits in mind. Focus on the thrill of it; ditch the drugs and get high on the music. There is a time and place for ever ything – and a rave is not the place to lose your judgment.

Never been to a rave? Imagine a hyped-up crowd, clouds of smoke and DJs accompanied by light shows. From the wardrobe

to the enthusiasm, it ’s likely you’ll always remember your first rave. People at raves are there to have a good time and dance until sunrise.

Some party-goers bring drugs of many flavors – so never accept food or drinks from strangers. Dancing at raves is up-close and personal, so be prepared to rub up against unfamiliar bodies.

Clothing is definitely a highlight: At places like these, the less clothing, the better. It’s not unusual to see a girl wearing a

bustier, tutu, fishnet stockings and furry boots.

There’s a high possibility that lighting will be low, so stick to white and neon-colored clothing, and be sure to load up on glow sticks. Bead bracelets, better known as “kandi,” are a must.

Raves can be fun, but getting careless or out of hand might ruin your night. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your guard up. Feel free to get loose, but stick with people you can trust and be sure to secure any valuables.

Late-night dining out 15%OFF R YAN MCK INLEY Staff Writer

A college student’s life is not conducive to a strict or regular meal schedule. Breakfast is a bagel or some orange juice, and lunch is from a campus meal truck, consumed between classes. The real challenge for most students is dinner. Here are a few late-night restaurants with generous portions and plenty of variety.

M AC 24/7

This bar and restaurant is located inside the Hilton Waikīkī Beach Hotel. Its website boasts, “ We don’t close unless it snows!”

It serves breakfast all day and is famous for its pancake challenge, which requires a single person to consume three 14 inch pancakes and its toppings in 90 minutes. People who successfully complete the task eat free, win a free shirt and a spot on the Wall of Fame in the restaurant and on its website.

If you’re not hungry for pancakes, MAC 24/7 also has a large menu of American staples like hamburgers and chicken-fried steak, as well as local favorites like loco moco. Entrees start at

$15 and most portions are large enough for two people.

WA I L A N A C O F F E E H O U S E For less expensive late-night dining, try Wailana Coffee House.

Wailana’s serves breakfast all day, in addition to localized versions of American entrees like pork cutlet and kal-bi ribs. Wailana is known for its low-key diner ambiance and its “all you can eat” pancakes special.

At least three kinds of syrups are available for pancakes or waffles, but its popular and highly recommended macadamia nut pancakes won’t need any. Most meals cost $10 or less and all portions are generous. Plus, the coffee at Wailana is strong and always fresh.

M AC 24/7 Address: 2500 Kūhiō Ave. Hours: 24/7 Contact: 808-921-5564 or mac247waikiki.com

WAILANA COFFEE HOUSE Address: 1860 Ala Moana Blvd.

CHI-TOWN DEEP DISH PIZZA CO. AT SOHO MIXED MEDIA BAR

A recent addition to SoHo Mixed Media Bar, this restaurant and bar offers lunch, dinner and late-night dining. It serves authentic Chicago-style deep-dish pizza with a chewy crust and a chunky tomato-based sauce. Prices start at $4 per slice and about $19 for a whole pizza, which can be ordered from a window near the entrance or at the bar itself.

SoHo hosts events on most days of the week including live DJs, bands, art shows and even Monday Night Football. Some events are for patrons 21 years and older, so be aware of that when making dinner or late-night plans.

Spring 2013 MA¯NOA UNDERGRADUATE POLITICAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Open to full-time UHM Juniors & Seniors

The Ma¯noa Political Internship Program was an integral part of my interest in law. Interning during the passage of Hawaii’s civil unions bill and helping deputies prepare their cases for trial provided a degree of insight into the creation and enforcement of laws that I couldn’t have gained in the classroom. It truly was a unique experience that I would recommend to all students.

Located inside the Waikīkī Trade Center on Kūhiō Avenue, it is one of the few 18-and-over clubs in Waikīkī. th Zanzabar is filled with young people, Z including many college students. It in has a dance floor, and every Tuesday ha h night is salsa night. nig n Customers should know that there is a cover charge that varies depending on the day of the week and whether o or not you have a college ID. Reviews o on Yelp have referred to this venue as o ““trashy,” but also say that it is a fun

place to wind down because there is no one to impress. Zanzabar is closed on Mondays for private events.

The PlayBar (formerly Scruples) is another dance-oriented venues. With a huge stage and dance floor, the place is always alive.

MAKE A GUEST LIST Resist the urge to have an open party. While movies may glamorize the mayhem that results when a hundred adolescents converge onto a single suburban home, the average college student does not have the funds or the space to host such an extravaganza.

Know your limits and keep the guest list within reason. You have a finite space. Keep the guests under control and you’ll also avoid conflict with your Resident Advisor or landlord.

C O O R D I N AT E T H E S U P P L I E S

S T RU C T U R E T H E S PAC E

Telling people to bring “whatever” will leave you with 20 bags of chips at a party for 30 people. Coordinate: There are two ways to approach the food and drink planning.

Create a sign-up sheet (via Facebook) that will allow people to choose what they want to bring in a transparent fashion. Give a few suggestions as to things people could bring (like “chicken katsu platter”), but leave it open-ended. In this way, you set up a precedent for your guests to follow – and you ensure that people try to keep parity among their offerings.

Your other option is the chip-in route, wherein you plan out exactly what you want the food and beverage menu to be. Once you figure out the cost, ask your guests to contribute equal amounts of money.

The system is fair and you get to eat what you want.

Throwing a house party requires that you keep your guests occupied.

Don’t assume that everyone is okay with “chilling out” and sitting around your living room.

Set up entertainment stations where people can congregate organically. A video game hub – armed with group games like “Just Dance” or “Halo” – will attract a crowd, as will a board game table.

The people who feel less at ease with striking up conversation will feel comfortable with an activity to focus on, and those who do enjoy lounging around and chatting will still have the opportunity to do so.

As host, it will be simple for you to flit between these stations, and once everyone is comfortable, you can encourage them to mix things up and talk to new people.

Budget-conscious party SAR AH NISHIOK A Contributing Writer Don’t like the smell of beer?

Just don’t think being drunk is fun? Throwing a booze-laden hullabaloo can be anexpensive way to have fun and is not a lways welcomed by your neighbors, landlords or Resident Advisors. You don’t always need to alter your state of mind with substances in order to have a good time.

Here are three alcohol-free party plans for people who can’t drink, don’t like drinking or can’t afford to.

MOV I E T H E AT E R DOWN T H ROW ROWDOWN Rent a terrible movie or find one on YouTube and use it to

play a popcorn-based “drinking” game. Establish a set of rules based on the movie description.

For example, eat two pieces of popcorn ever y time there’s an explosion or awkward kiss. If someone forgets to eat, every ever yone at the party gets to throw a piece of popcorn at them. If an actor says the name of the film during the film, ever yone has to eat their entire bowl of popcorn.

CRAFTY BUGGERS Spend the day cooking delicious treats from your favorite cookbook or Internet recipe website. Halloween is coming up, so why not practice making spooky treats? Spider-covered cupcakes and grave -themed mud pies with gummy worms crawling out of them are good

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

The Liquor Collection, 1050 Ala Moana Blvd.

Ward Warehouse

places to start. While you’re waiting for things to cook, spend the time working on your costume ideas and house decorations.

CHILDHOOD REBORN L eave behind your adult pretensions and go back to your childhood: have water balloon fights, blow bubbles, set up a water slide or break out the finger paints. Have a barbe cue with friends and watch the cartoons ever yone remembers from middle school or earlier. If you have the cash to buy alcohol for a big bash, you have the cash to rent a bouncy house.
