2003

Wow! I’m impressed! We made a ballot and you guys voted. It sounds basic but it was really great to see this country's democratic foundation at work right here on the rock we call home. Well, we did our part and counted them up (nope, we didn't send the ballots to Florida), we tallied the winners and will proceed to regurgitate the results for you in the next 27 pages.

Just so you get to know each other, I will tell you this: Maui Time Weekly voters are exuberant! We had voters from ages 6 to 95, but the average age was 37 years old for someone putting pen to ballot. Women rule! Well, you should know that by now, but if you weren't sure, 58 percent of you voters were women, leaving 40 percent to the weaker of the sexes, and the remaining 2 percent of you not sure about what is between your legs.

Maui voters came out in droves from every inch of this island, from Kaupo to Kahakuloa, but mostly everywhere in between. You work everywhere, too! From nurses to couch potatoes to contractors to servers, you all spared the energy to fill out the long ballot and apply postage. Pat yourselves on the backs, give yourselves a round of applause, you did a fabulous job of telling us what you think is best on Maui.

Our newest line on the ballot was "other" giving you an opportunity to express your wild card ideas.

We got some great suggestions for new categories: Best Place to Cook Your Sausage (a tie between Sausage Shack and Little Beach comes to mind), Best Hawaiian Food, Best Enchilada, Best Gas Station, Best Bread Balls and Best Internet Access.

Many of you practiced terrible penmanship; I misread someone's comments as "Mulligan's is the Best Homo Bar," when my intern's sharper eyes corrected me, no that's "Homey Bar." Oh well, my mind is in the gutter as usual. I was most impressed by a ballot signed by Spike. He wins the ballot-filler-outer prize (call us up for your free Maui Taco burrito). He writes such thoughtful gems as "Fags play golf" for Best Golf Course, "Ya Fat Fuck!" for Best Place to Eat at 3a.m., and "Get some shoes and fuckin’ run and do pushups, hoorah!" for Best Gym. But he demonstrates he has fabulous taste with Versace getting his vote for best women’s clothing and Dairy Queen for best dessert. Spike, thank you for thinking outside of the box!

We discovered, much to our dismay, that the majority of you are big box shoppers; you love K-Mart, Walmart, Costco, Starbucks, Ross, ABC Stores and Blockbuster. We weren't impressed there. What happened to voting and spending your money with the “mom-and-pops”, the little guys? I know living on the island is expensive, but think of the big picture! Well, you little corporate mongers read on and weep, ‘cuz we let you know what we think, too. [JR] MTW

BEST ADULT STORE

K

ED

The idea of visiting an adult store can be an intimidating one for the novice shopper. You might imagine them to be dank, dark and scary with dusty, musty aisles of sticky videos and unidentifiable phallic objects too numerous to appear ITO C R ' S P I user-friendly. You picture men in trench coats leering over their copy of Naughty

Nymphos and the unapproachable and freaky, lobotomized guy behind the counter who could not possibly have sex. Ever. This is definitely not the case at The Love Shack in Kihei’s Kalama Village. There, you enter a bright, sensuous atmosphere and are greeted by the warm smiles of a knowledgeable staff, enticing you to look over their banana flavored penis massage creams and hand-held remote clitoral stimulators. For quality sexy lingerie in silk or leather, fun novelty items like Tit Tacks

or to simply update your personal assistant with the dual-action butterfly/rabbit combo, check it out and go down south (to Kihei, what did you think I meant?). Instead of immediately needing to take a hot shower because you feel icky, after you visit this adult store you may just need to take a cold one. [SC]

Best Place To Buy Boardshorts LOCAL MOTION People in the surf apparel industry have apparently figured out that they can charge whatever they want for boardshorts and kids living in Kentucky will buy enough surf gear for their trips to local water parks and community pools to keep the money flowing in and the cash registers ringing. Unfortunately for us, that keeps the prices hiked up higher than some tourists' swim trunks. But Local Motion, along with having massive inventory and tons of variety, teams up with companies like Ezekiel to bring us deals to the tune of a rash guard and a pair of baggies for $50. In the world of overpriced surf apparel, it's nice to see someone working to leave some money in our pockets and keep us from surfing naked for lack of a better option. [IH]

Best Place To Get Condoms LONGS DRUG STORE Wow, I still remember the first time I bought condoms. I was a chubby little 14-year-old who wanted to go pick up a package "just in case". Yeah, right. I didn't have a girlfriend, nor had I grown the huevos to even talk to the ladies yet. The guy behind the counter just laughed and gave me my change. This experience can be yours at Longs. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a rookie just looking to get into the game, Longs is apparently the place to go for all of your prophylactic needs. So keep it safe and if certain circumstances get past the "G rating", make sure you've visited Longs and picked up the appropriate gear. [IH]

Being ripped off is not fun. You would think that on such a small island, it would be easy to find your stolen vehicle – ah, but not so.

There is a known surfing area called Honokohau Valley where drivers and passengers alike get ITO C R ' S P I taken advantage of by car thieves utilizing the nearby labyrinthine pineapple fields for their escape. I say, knowing that this kind of activity is ongoing there, let’s have a little fun with the thieving bastards. Now we just need to figure out how…[SC]

Best Tattoo Shop Island Ink Their deck is the most obvious part of Paia and definitely has the best view for people watching the magic happen. The door below isn’t quite as obvious (it’s bright purple, pay attention and go up). Tom and Nancy have years of experience and between their knowhow, and that of their apprentices like Brad, they will win your trust and make sure your art-for-life is gorgeous and alluring. Check out their gallery of incredible Polynesian tattoos.

This is one place where they won’t spell your name wrong on the back of your neck. So unless your name really is Steven with an “R”, head to Island Ink. [JG]

GETTIN’ INK DONE

Best Distraction While Driving While I would say that the female breast is the most common reason I have to swerve while driving down South Kihei Road, the best distraction regardless of sexual preference, age, gender or religion would have to be the stunning combination of ITO C R ' S P I rainbows, unicorns, dancing fairies and freak whale sightings that make Maui both magical and quasi-disturbing. I know plenty of women that would say a 40-year-old man in a fluorescent green thong makes them nearly forget that they are behind the wheel of a car, but the majestic backdrop of a perfectly formed rainbow has caused many a tourist to continue straight when the Pali turns left and landed them in four feet of Pacific Ocean. If you are lucky enough to experience one, the occasional unicorn spotting or Menehune sighting is grounds to slam on the brakes and jump out of your car to investigate.

And of course, who could forget those humpback whales? A tail up in the air seems to cause many a fender bender. Let’s remember to keep our eyes on the road and if you do see a dancing fairy bolt across Hana Highway, do your best not to bank her with your cruiser. [IH]

Blockbuster?! Did you all flip that switch on the back of your head that shuts down your brains? If your cultural exposure is limited to the latest $50 million new release and you spend your time indoors playing video games, you have chosen the right video store.

BEST PLACE TO GET YOUR CAR STOLEN

ED

Don’t go to an overpriced tourist trap and pay too much for a cheesy import. Shop where the locals shop. You can get ono local produce at good prices and all kinds of local handmade items. Checkout Krista’s Surfer Salve, which is sure to relieve all kinds of ailments. Maybe she’ll even massage it on for you. Or pick up some of Sara’s gorgeous ceramic plates with cool octopi or anatomically correct naked people on them.

Nothing spurs the appetite like staring at full frontal nudity. Get a fresh coconut as you shop and mingle with the natives. Rasta flags, enormous jackfruit, candied macadamia nuts, a box of tamarind, hand-woven bags and pukas all fit the bill as unique gift ideas. [JG]

models prancing around, lounging half-naked, periodically trying on different barely-there bikinis to entice buyers and create fantasies in the minds of “innocent” bystanders. There must be at least 1000 styles to choose from and for such a small amount of fabric, these little numbers are expensive. But, the smaller the better, right? Girls aren’t just buying a piece of nylon. With that ball of fabric, they’re getting yet another opportunity to tease, taunt and tempt us guys at the beach. They’re buying the ability to stop traffic. And Maui Girl has plenty of bikinis that can do just that. [JG]

COVER STORY

My cousin Anne used to work at Tiffany & Co. Not the jewelry store, but in some back office where they process the orders. Her job as “Tiffany Card Writer,” was to handwrite all the love notes that accompany the little blue Tiffany boxes, making her privy to the personal messages of people everywhere. As she carefully crafted verses such as “You’re the best dog and I’m barking up the right tree,” Anne and her co-workers learned a lot about love, relationships and human stupidity. So as you go buy your expensive gift from Tiffany’s, you can rest assured that someone, somewhere is laughing at you. [EG]

Best Hardware Store ACE HARDWARE If you don’t have a neighbor as gullible as Ned Flanders to borrow tools from with no intentions of ever giving them back, then you had better head to an Ace Marmack Hardware location and buy your own stuff.

Whether you’re after a toilet plunger for when your mother-in-law is in town or some spraypaint to spruce up the cruiser, Ace is the place.

And if you long for that old-fashioned neighborhood hardware store for your DIY needs, then Maui’s Ace locations will definitely take care of you. The Kula store is known for its fantastic gardening supplies and the cheapest gas on the Island. Cheap gas good, mother-inlaw bad. [JG/IH]

Best Place To Buy An Expensive Gift

I used to be a shoe slut if there ever was one. The higher, the tighter, the more leather, the better. When I came to the island, I brought with me 10 to 12 pairs, easy—little strappy numbers to coordinate with every possible outfit. But, come on, how many shoes do you need on Maui? Now, I’m down to one pair.

They’re plastic, they’ve got permanent imprints of my toes and they make my feet stink. I’ve got to go to Macy’s. I need the foot makeover only they can provide. [EG]

Best Place To Buy A Cheap Gift

TANK OF GAS TO HANA

BEST WAY TO KILL TIME IN TRAFFIC

Skeptics may say it's impossible to find anything cheap on Maui, let alone a gift, but our faithful readers say different. When someone’s birthday creeps up on you, when you're stuck buying something for an office Christmas party, whatever the occasion, never fear for we have ABC Store! Yes, that’s right, and you thought that place was only for visitors. Although that may have been their principle intention, for locals it has become nothing short of a lifesaver.

If you look hard enough, you never know what you may find in this little oasis. Not only is ABC cheap, but it is also convenient. With 10 locations scattered over the island, you can run in, run out and have a gift for your grandaunt’s surprise birthday party in minutes. [KH]

Best Used Bookstore OLD LAHAINA BOOK EMPORIUM Move aside all you unWest Mauians because Lahaina's got the best used bookstore. I know, big deal. But honestly the Old Lahaina Book Emporium is one of the coolest places, period. Whether you’re a beach bum looking for a steamy romance novel, or an art enthusiast looking for a little something different, Lahaina's Book Emporium has it all. A secret for all you students out there: go to the book emporium and find a book already littered with handwritten side-notes and important passages highlighted. So half the work is done for you and you don't have to waste your money on a brand new book. Tourists, you too can look to The Old Lahaina Book Emporium for everything from CDs by local musicians to Maui guidebooks. Trust me, they’ve got everything at half the price of any other bookstore.

Even Amazon.com can’t come close. [KH]

SAVERS I scoped Savers to see what makes them the best. With all the second-hand clothes, shoes and junque (that’s ‘que’) they’ve got for sale, any thrift store has got to stay organized. Savers does and they do it well. Every rack is clearly categorized and every item neatly tagged— right down to an unwieldy row of women’s muu muu’s. They also have a good book and music selection, again, all organized and priced to move. Nothing like picking up some new tunes for the tape deck at 49 cents a pop. On the sly, if you are in the market for some Menudo or New Kids on the Block, you won’t be disappointed. But don’t tell anyone I told you. [EG]

Best Men's Clothing & Best Women's Clothing ROSS My horoscope told me I needed to spruce up my summer wardrobe, so I headed straight for Ross. After all, their motto is “Dress for Less”, right? No wonder people love it. First, I went to my favorite department regardless of what store I’m in, the junior’s section. So what if I’m pushing 30? I still like to look hip, okay?

Perusing the clearance racks at Ross is like wading into a garment jungle. I practically needed a machete to get through the aisles.

When I came out the other end, I was tired, thirsty and sweating like a marathon runner. It takes a lot of work to dress for less. The men’s department is a different story. No tightly packed summer dresses, no overspilling sarongs. Instead, neat rows of aloha shirts fill the floor and spacious racks of Bermuda shorts line the walls. Where is the justice? [EG]

Best Auto Shop TLC AUTOMOTIVE The name of Maui’s best auto shop says it all, as in tender loving care. Imagine, a car repair place where the customer is king—it’s unheard of. But that’s the kind of service TLC is famous for, along with reliable repairs. So if the always unreliable Maui cruiser is running a bit rough, see if you can make it to Lower Main Street in Wailuku for a nice tune-up, a new air filter or maybe just a quart or two. Plus, they have cool license plate holders—“TLCLicensed to Chill”—which Mike or one of the other staff will give you for free. [JK/IH]

How are a county work truck and a Winnebago similar? They both sleep six comfortably. No, seriously folks, these guys work hard. They just have a sincere interest in job security. Have you ever noticed that when you see them on the ITO C R ' S P I road, there’s always one guy working, one guy watching him work and four guys standing in the shade watching the two of them? It’s their attention to detail. Yeah, that’s it. Because if there’s one thing these guys are good at, it’s supervising. Narrowing down the field in this category to a specific project was a tough one. You can pretty much take your pick of road construction projects or revamps that should have taken two months but have turned into epic conquests that may take us into the next decade. I can still remember when they started roadwork on Honoapiilani Highway at Ma'alaea. The mullet was still in style. Boy George was rockin' and most of the construction workers wore Members Only jackets when they were off duty. Okay, maybe it wasn't that long ago but it feels like the other Bush was

If it is important to you to make your kids look cool at an early age, then by all means, go to Gap Kids. I mean, sure, you’ll be paying double and triple the price for a trendy striped oxford that your little Timmy is going to smear with melted chocolate and bloody up with some scrape or cut. But hey, kids need to learn as soon as possible about name brands and consumerism and that they will be judged by what they wear. It’s up to you to teach them. So get started, leave no child behind and instill the values that are oh so important to our culture. [EG]

BEST NEVERENDING ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT

Oh, so many to choose from. Well, let’s see, I could “Get a car, get a truck, get an SUV” or I could learn about the 15 pounds of compacted waste in my bowels. No, those aren’t bad enough. Ah, yes, that’s right, I need to “remember, conITO C R ' S P I venience for the kama’aina.” That’s right “Super Stop, Yeah Baby!” I have major issues with this radio spot. Every time I hear this commercial, I want to take a clothes hanger, bend it to the exact shape of the route from my ears to my brain, heat the end and work it deep into the pink of my cerebrum. So what makes this ad the “best” obnoxious radio commercial? No matter how much I hate it, no matter how much it bothers me, I know what it’s for and I actually stopped in front of a Super Stop the other day and said, “Hey, that’s what that stupid commercial is for.” It’s the best because it actually works. It gets its job done.

So here’s a free plug for you guys. I’m not fully bagging on the commercial, I’m just saying good job on getting our attention and seriously annoying the shit out of me. [IH]

My friend Captain Ted used to work for Nextel on the mainland, so he knows his cellphones. He tells me that using cell phones without a headset is akin to sticking your head in the microwave and pressing start. On the island, he uses AT&T for his service. “What’s so much better about AT&T?” I asked him. “They’ve got good coverage,” said Ted. Apparently, AT&T has better signals in the more remote areas of Maui, in parts of Hana and even out to Lanai. So if you want coverage, AT&T, with a headset, is where it’s at. The only problem is their customer service can be a bitch. [EG]

“… And I – I – e – I – I will always love you – o – o – o.” That’s right, the best thing to do when you’re stuck behind a pig truck in endless traffic is belt out your own off-key version of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love ITO C R ' S P I You”. You might not know all of the words but damn it, when you’re in the car by yourself, it just sounds right. Of course, while you’re butchering a beautiful piece of music, you can multi-task and cruise through an issue of Maui Time Weekly. I know you thought the only good use for a Maui Time was to line the bottom of your birdcage or wrap your Star Wars figurine collection before you move but they can actually be used as a source of information, matchmaking, an outlet for public frustration and as a guide for your weekend’s activities. As you might not be going anywhere for a while, you can plot out that night’s itinerary or check out Eh Brah to find out who Maui’s asshole of the week is. So always have a copy of Maui Time in your car because you never know when the Pali is going to have one of its infamous closures leaving you otherwise bored and bummed. [IH]

This goes both ways, snuff out your wife or permanently shut your husband up. However, it seems that guys have the physical advantage and therefore, the upper hand.

But if you are a cunning girl, I am sure you could succeed here.

ITO C R ' S P I First thing to do when you are planning a death in your family is get some life insurance on the person expected to expire.

After all, you want to get paid for all your hard work, don't ya? Next, plan a vacation in Hawaii. Then rent a kayak for two and paddle out into the Auau Channel - choose a day with marine warnings, it'll make your story better. Then throw her overboard and tell everyone she got whacked by a shark. As an added monetary bonus, sue somebody afterwards. Sound familiar? I'm sure someone's gettin' away with it right now.

Best Place To Buy Greeting Cards

A lei is a simple sign of love and aloha.

And when it comes to leis, no other place smells of aloha like K-mart. Yes, you heard right! The readers have voted K-mart as the best place to buy leis. At K-mart, not only do you get to choose from a variety of selections of leis made by local residents, but you get them at a cheap price, too! Whether you'll be buying a lei for that special someone, getting one for the idiot next door who finally graduated from high school or are simply buying one to greet someone at the airport, keep in mind that K-mart is the place to go to for a simple sign of aloha.

Want a wild fuschia mullet or how about green liberty spikes? The sky’s the limit when it comes to hair designs here. Keep your styles in this decade or go retro, scoop all the good island gossip or blab away about who your best friend is sleeping with, and take it from our readers who love Colours and Paragon!

Kodak moments are worth keeping. And because they are of such value, the voters are really appreciative that here on Maui, we can pay such a small price to get our pictures developed at Costco. Apparently having the best photo shop, Costco can develop your pictures within the next three days, 24 hours, or within the next 60 minutes on Kodak or Kirkland paper.

BEST PLACE TO DISAPPEAR FROM The Lahaina Civic Center stoplight is Maui’s twilight zone, stealing souls like the Bermuda triangle.

What the f@*k happened to Tory Newlin on that fateful night February 16th, 2002? Theories I have heard range from being ITO C R ' S P I held as a slave in a camp in the Phillipines to he is alive and well on a sandy secluded island living the good life. While psychics haven’t been able to bring him back from his outer dimension, his families pleas are also falling on deaf ears. Perhaps this stoplight has a special dimension for those of us wishing to shirk family and friends, just take six hits of the brown acid and don your ruby slippers. [JR]

Why did the chicken cross the road? He didn’t, he just got tagged by a silver convertible Mustang with an Enterprise sticker on the bumper and a family of four, fresh from the airport. The last time I checked, any street corner on ITO C I R ' S P Maui that has tourist drivers in the near vicinity is the best corner to get hit by a car. But with all the traffic of the visitor season at its peak, forget about crossing at Baldwin Avenue and Hana Highway in Paia. If you want your kneecaps taken out, or worse, just step into the high-speed traffic of their intersection and tempt the crazy tourists that seem to almost try to hit pedestrians. And if it’s whale season and the ocean is within visual sight, you’re looking at a mandatory bumperto-femur connection. [TH/IH]

Don't know what cuckoos are?

You're a better person than I am.

Although found island-wide, your strongest bull market for cuckoos is going to be on Front Street, anywhere down the strip but ITO C especially on the sea wall next I R ' S P to Bubba's. Still not sure? Try Maui's finest weeds, the kind that stick to your leg hairs, not the kind with the green hairs, that go for about $50 a bag, passed off as the "Wowee" you had HIGH hopes for. Look for a guy with no shirt on, or if you’re a longhair they'll find you, looking kind of sketchy, yelling out "spliff, ganja, pakalolo" and quickly pass him your folded bill and you’re sure to never see him or your Grant again. But try to put the contents of your little bag into a pipe and smoke it and you may soon see why it’s called “cuckoos” and the joke is on you. [JR]

BEST PLACE TO BUY CucKOOS

With three locations on Maui, voters dubbed Longs Drug Stores the best place to buy greeting cards. You could spend the entire day in one aisle reading through all their greeting cards. For whatever the event or situation, the voters are pretty sure that Longs has the perfect card for absolutely anything. I don’t think Hallmark makes a “Sorry I said you have bad breath” card, but if they do, Longs is your best bet. So when you're in search of that perfect greeting card, or that genuine I’m sorry card, don't forget to make Longs a part of your day. [DA]

BEST PLACE TO GET LOST TRYING TO FIND Driving on Haiku Road is always a lot of fun. Its an especially nice trip if you’re up for people driving on the wrong side of the road and cats and dogs flinging themselves in front of your cruiser.

Looking for a specific place ITO C R ' S P I isn’t easy and reading your directions while driving around isn’t a good idea either. "Go past the sharp curve and it’s the green house on the left past the group of mailboxes on the right after that one street," are common directions. In Haiku go with the attitude that you can’t be lost if you don’t care where you‘re going and enjoy the ride. [JG]

Take a tip from my parents, while mom heads for Ala Moana for her meaningful shopping therapy, Dad heads for Femme Nu where his amusement may even outlast her shopping spree. It’s fun for the whole family and you can even share a cab ride there from your hotel in Waikiki, just don't use all of Dad's one-dollar bills. [JR]

BEST PLACE TO DROP DEAD

K

Parasailing. By far, the best place to drop dead would be parasailing. Up in the air, soaring above the clear waters of the Pacific and loving every minute of it. All of the sudden, our unlucky sailor sees a group of birds approaching ahead. He tries ITO C R ' S P I to signal to the boat to get out of their way but his efforts are in vain. Apparently, one stray bird doesn’t get the message to turn from the rest of the flock and the sailor takes an incoming mynah bird right to the face. At those speeds, forget about it. With a beak in the eye and feathers everywhere, both the poor bird and the unfortunate sailor are done for. As the ride comes to an end and the boat begins to slow, our ill-fated sailor drops from the sky like a rock and his day in the sun has come to a quick end.

But don’t feel too sorry for him because he got to take in the unequalled scenery of Maui’s coastline and ocean before he met up with one of the most dangerous killers roaming the skies above Hawaii, the mynah bird. [IH]

Best Place To Buy Board Wax HI TECH Why do they call it sex wax? The guys at Hi Tech didn’t know, but postulated appropriately that it’s because sex sells. I found out at www.mrzogs.com that it was so named “because it sounded phonetically cool” and it was “a great spoof on Madison Avenue's not so subtle attempts to use sex to sell a product.”

Best Hike WAINAPANAPA Walking along the coast at sunrise toward the ancient burial ground is an energizing experience.

The sun is intense, the clouds turn a brilliant, fiery orange, and the fierce waves crash into the serrated coastline. Hopping along the jagged lava rocks is an adventure as you try to keep to the trail or make your own. Walking the other direction, toward Hana, at night is a surreal experience. You go through jungle, around gnarly blowholes and experience ethereal energies at the ancient heiau. Of course, there are the easier hikes to Black Sand Beach and the Caves for the less accomplished hiker. Something for everybody, you’ve got to love Maui. [JG]

Ho-hum, another lousy snorkeling day in paradise… [JK]

Mounds of soft sand, killer shore break and an as of yet unspoiled view – they don’t call it Big Beach for nothing. People flock from far and wide to visit this south side picture of paradise.

On a calm day, you’ll find families frolicking in the ocean and vacationers power-walking the shoreline. Bring a lunch and bask in the sun or venture the waters if you’re brave. While you’re at it, make that climb over the rock wall to Little Beach for some naked Qi Gong. [TL]

BEST PLACE TO WATCH VISITORS GET PUMMELED

BY A BEACH BREAK

ED

Lying on the beach at Kaanapali or Makena is by far the best way to see people, but mainly tourists, playfully tossed to the ground by the shore-breaking waves. Not only do you get to witness it firsthand, but you also get to ITO C R ' S P I predict it before it even happens.

“Ten bucks says the guy in the man-thong eats it on this one!” Tourists don't want to swim too far out for fear of sharks. As a result, they stay close to the shore and bob up and down as waves go by. But, as one wave passes and the water novice thinks they are safe, another wave quickly scoops them up and then slams them into the sandy crash pad. The break of the waves can be heard up and down the beach as well as loud, hysterical laughter from every passerby on the beach. Keep it up.

We all need a laugh and we know it’s a lot of fun for you too. [CM]

The best free show ITO C R ' S P I on Maui can be seen from the Maui Time Weekly offices at 505 Front St., which look down on the Feast at Lele’s nightly luau. There is nothing like typing away at your computer and hearing the sweet sounds of Hawaiian music make their way into our offices to let us know the show is beginning.

I have been franticly writing away on many an occasion and heard the falsetto begin, which forced me to leave my work behind and run to the window of our publisher’s office to watch the show.

They go through roughly a Yugo full of fish per day (seriously about 500 pounds), all of which is caught nearby by local guys who bring their catch to be weighed right there.

You want to talk about fresh fish? These critters are still moving when they get to Mama’s. The photos of the fisherman with their prize fish hang alongside those of celebrities that have enjoyed Maui’s best seafood experience. [JG]

They might have the best seafood on the island, use all local fish, meat and produce, but if you’re a starving local, struggling just to survive in paradise, then you will never get to eat here unless someone else flits the bill.

Mama’s is the classic destination for when the parents come from the mainland and you finally get your chance to savor the flavor after driving past it almost every day. The beautiful girls of the North Shore have an advantage over us working stiffs because they can coerce an older rich guy to pay their way. Oh to be young and attractive and female and live on the North Shore and…damn it, my life sucks. [JG]

Best Dining With A View KULA LODGE Amazing views of the West Maui Mountains and the fantastic cloud formations that congregate on the peaks, the lush cane fields below, the North Coast and Maalaea Harbor create a dining spectacle. At breakfast time, you can rub elbows with goofy middle Americans as they load up on eggs benedict before riding their bikes down the Crater. For lunch, hobnob with old couples cruising the countryside and loads of tourists checking out the sights. The service is good all day at Kula Lodge, but dinnertime is most enjoyable. Debbie and Katie make great drinks to make the drive a little more adventurous but we obviously don’t encourage that kind of thing. Be safe, eat well and enjoy an upcountry dining experience like none other. [JG]

McGillicuddy’s offers a rare bird’s eye view of the pedestrian masses below. Sit and drink to your heart’s content while spewing vitriolic filth at the tourists. But beware, Moose’s also offers a bird’s eye view of the birds themselves, and these little buggers have taken their swoop-and-snatch techniques to professional levels, meaning you’d better keep an eye on your food. [TH]

Best Margarita MAÑANA GARAGE It’s hot. Like summertime hot. Slipping into Mañana Garage gets you the best margarita ever blended on Maui. Altogether fitting that Maui's best margarita—a luscious libation of tequila, lime or lemon juice, triple sec and ice, glass rimmed with salt—be mixed and served at a Latino-flavored restaurant like Kahului's Mañana Garage. A quibble: what’s with these folks who order margaritas without salt or drink them through straws? Order some other drink, folks—the salt is there for a reason. The same reason tequila afficionados chase shots with a dash of lime and a hit of salt. Be a man (or woman) and do the sodium. Just do it. [JK]

Best Fish Sandwich PAIA FISH MARKET The saying goes; eat more fish, live longer.

Well, thank goodness for Paia Fish Market. No one prepares ono, ahi or mahi in-between a grade-A bun better than they do. Sandwiches come cajun-seared or grilled and accompanied by tangy coleslaw, fresh tomato and grated cheddar. Many of the other selections may tempt you, but this sandwich is the goods - and it’s cheap! I usually get mine on the way back from the airport picking up friends or family - the best intro to Maui! Cute girls work at the Paia Fish Market and it offers a great view of the passersby of Paia, which is always entertaining. [JG]

Best Vietnamese Restaurant SAIGON CAFÉ Take a bow, Saigon Café owner Jennifer and staff, you got top billing as the best Vietnamese restaurant on Maui. Many food folks would argue that Saigon Café is a top

contender for Maui’s best food, any kine restaurant, that’s how good they are. No secret to the masses, and hence their popularity— they serve fresh, natural foods, succulently blended with Southeast Asian flair. They also do western-style dishes very nicely, like their sizzling-while-you-eat-‘em steaks. This Wailuku restaurant’s casual ambiance and fun, friendly service only adds to the great eating experience, all at reasonable prices. [JK]

Best Place For Vegetarian Food DOWN TO EARTH A lot of stigmas have somehow been attached to vegetarian diets. I always think of vegetarians as all wearing hemp and smelling like barley (whatever barley smells like). But eating a vegetarian diet is obviously good for your health and makes the moo moo and oink populations smile. Down To Earth has some seriously good food and their cobbler style creations for breakfast are the bomb. Jason at the Lahaina shop makes the best food for the veggie muncher in all of us. So whether you’re looking for a new lifestyle or just a healthy lunch, Down to Earth is your spot. [JG/IH]

BEST PLACE TO BREAKUP

Any way you slice up the competition for best Italian restaurant, it’s quite a feat to be voted Maui’s best in this category these days.

With more than a dozen places serving Italian fare, the competition is fierce. Casanova wins best of the bunch honors by consistently serving flavorful traditional Italian favorites, including fabulous fresh seafood, which make up a big part of authentic Italian cuisine. There’s lots of warm aloha at Casanova, too—they treat their customers like they are family, and that’s Italian all the way. [JK]

Best Mexican Restaurant LAS PIÑATAS For the record, the name of the place judged best Mexican restaurant on Maui is Las Piñatas. No matter, everybody just calls it Piñatas and calls their food muy bueno. True Mexican food snobs will sniff that, to get real Mexican food, you have to travel 2,500 miles due east, to Alvaro Street in Los Angeles or other legendary Southern Californian Mexican food spots. Sure, this is gringo-ized Mexican food, but it’s consistently good at Las Piñatas, just the way lots of Maui gringos like it. [JK]

Best Restaurant For Family Of Four Under $30 TASTY CRUST What could possibly be better than good, cheap food? I can’t think of too many things that I more desire than good eats for minimal flow. And with that, I introduce Tasty Crust.

Maui Time Weekly readers voted this Wailuku eatery best restaurant for family of four with a bill under $30 because of their good food and uncanny affordability. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in a classic diner-style cafe, right out of the 1940s, with prices to match the era. [JK/IH]

BEST BALLOT STUFFER

Best Place To Eat At 3 a.m.

DENNY’S I’ve been to Denny’s late night enough times to know why it’s the best place to eat at 3 a.m. First, it’s the only place open after bars close that gives you a choice of breakfast, lunch or dinner. Now that’s freedom. Second, Denny’s is the only place that gives you pictures on the menu. So when you are too drunk to navigate between descriptions of Grand Slams, Slugger Slams and Moon Over My Hammys, you just feast your fuzzy eyes on the picture that looks the prettiest, and say “Errr, umm…I’ll take that one.” God bless those that cater to the drunken masses.

Oh yeah, you thought you were real clever. We'll never notice the tons of ballots stuffed into one envelope with the same six votes for your business filled out on each ballot, Best Lunch, Best Dinner, Best ITO C R ' S P I Pupus, Best Place for Vegetarian Food, Best Restaurant When Someone Else Is Paying, Best Thai Restaurant. We'll never see the same handwriting is on each one even though it looks like you opened your address book and filled out different names and addresses. Despite the fact that we didn't count your identical ballots votes in our total, you won something anyway! Here's a tip for next year, leave it to the readers, Thai Chef, they love your curry so much they voted you in fair and square. [JR]

So why does Minit Stop make the best? They slice their Spam fresh every day, slap it on a rectangle of rice and serve it up, warm and tasty.

By far, the best place on Maui to have a violent, obnoxious, drunken shout-fest that results in the ending of a relationship would have to be in the middle of a luau. All of the key ingredients for ITO C a hilarious and memorable R ' S P I breakup are present. For one, you need alcohol. Every breakup is better with alcohol. Chances are you will both be more honest (and loud) and, truth be told, you were probably going to get into an inebriated argument anyway. Let the wine flow and God bless the open bar. Next, there are plenty of people around. You need an audience to cheer you on, boo you or just watch while drinks are thrown and embarrassing secrets are revealed. And three, there’s the show. What better way to call off your courtship than between the hula dancers and the crazy guy with the flaming stick? You can take in some hula, down some brews and tell your boyfriend that he is horrible in bed. The best part is, you have a great story to tell all of your friends. And to all you hula dancers out there, if a scene begins to erupt, just let the couple do their thing and remember that the show must go on. [IH]

Talk about da kine, brah - New York style thin crust or thick Sicilian with homemade sauce and tons of cheese, Veggie Delight or Meat Combo, gourmet pizzas like Chicken Pesto. Dine-in, take out, or call that thing in for delivery. Don’t forget the garlic bread, calzone, cheese steaks, hoagies, French fries and Caesar salad. Shaka even sells by the slice if you’re in a hurry to try the grinds. [TL]

BEST PLACE TO MEET SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN’T DATE

K

ED

It goes without saying that bars and clubs are not the most auspicious places to meet a potential mate, in general. There’s the loud pulsating music that deters intelligible conversation, the lack of adequate lighting (all ITO C R ' S P I the more helpful the less sober you become!), deceptively good behavior and predatory pretension aplenty. Nowhere is this more apparent than at Tsunami’s at the Grand Wailea Resort on Friday and Saturday nights. Whoa, this place is packed with attitude and some very young, dumb and full of cumbrance individuals who take themselves maybe a little too seriously. Why are they trifling and just whom do they think they’re trying to sweat, I wonder? They’re like, 12 or something. [SC]

or Spicy Seafood Combo Soup for starters, then choose from over 60 menu items including Thai Style Shrimp Scampi, Crispy Cornish Game Hen, Pineapple Fried Rice and an impressive selection for veggie lovers. Enjoy Thai Chef’s cozy setting, excellent service and authentic flavors. Keep it mild if you please and remember to order up a tall Thai Iced Tea to cool your tingling taste buds. [TL]

Best Steak RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE I know next to nothing about good steak. I haven’t eaten red meat since that summer I spent hawking hot dogs in front of a hardware store—100-degree humidity, a boiling pot of beef franks and a bad hangover.

Believe me, it could make anyone vegetarian.

When I told Bruce, the manager at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Lahaina about my nonmeat-eating tendencies, he said, “I’m sorry to hear that.� I asked him what he could tell me to make me want to eat his meat. “We’ve got the best flavored steak around, cooked in an 1800-degree oven that seals the juices inside,� he answered in all seriousness. “And plus, you can cut our filets with a fork.� Did Bruce convert me? Close, but no. Should you eat at Ruth’s Chris if you want a phenomenal steak? Yes. [EG]

While beer in itself is a beautiful thing regardless of where it’s made, Kona Beer is not only great tasting, it makes you feel good to put the outrageous amount of money that we all spend on beer into the pocket of a local brewery. While I’m not giving you an excuse to become an alcoholic just to “support a local business�, Kona is definitely the way to go for local beer and good times.

Best Sushi SANSEI With fancy names like Mango Crab Salad Handroll and Kapalua Butterfly, it’s got to be good. Sansei pairs the ambiance of fine dining with the delicate art of sushi, offering both at a decent price. Take a seat at the sushi bar and watch the chefs in action as they skillfully craft your order. Don’t make small talk, these guys are serious and have no time for your shenanigans. That’s right, I said shenanigans. Stick with the traditional Maguro and Hamachi, try a combo selection or skip the rice and go for the straight sashimi. Any way you slice it, Sansei is the bomb for fresh fish lovers. [TL]

BEST PLACE TO BUY WINE

K

ED

The Wine Corner is much more than a place to get your alcoholic fix.

It is the best place to go for the Paia lowdown, to have a chance run-in with a famous person and to observe the real life entertainment on the streets of Paia. The ITO C R ' S P I owner, Greg Brown, can fill you in on how things work on the North Shore and gives good relationship advice. Yantzi can introduce you to everyone in town and get you up to date on the social scene. And Trish provides a solid woman’s touch. Their extensive selection of beer and wine is well priced, too.

[JG]

IHOP

Best Japanese Restaurant SANSEI That’s right, sushi and Japanese food are two different meals. Get it together and get over to Sansei for a taste of the Pacific Rim. Tempting starters like the Seared Fresh Hawaiian Ahi Salad will have you begging for more. Try their Spicy Crab Stuffed Whole Lobster Tail if you’re feeling feisty, or venture the Grilled Filet of Beef Tenderloin with its savory shiitake mushroom unagi demi-glaze. Don’t miss out on Sansei’s early bird specials, as friends in the know are already lined up out the door. Giant decadent desserts, quality, quantity and a reasonable price – can you say oishi (delicious)? That was a good try but work on the accent. [TL]

Best Burrito

MAUI TACOS

I almost get tears in my eyes when I talk about this category. I think I am Maui Taco's number one supporter. All of the money I have left over after paying the bills goes to buying Lahaina burritos with chicken and pinto beans, wrapped in foil. I have recently been turned on to Maui Taco’s breakfast menu and soon hope to eat all three meals there on a consistent basis. The salsa bar adds flavor (because that's its job) and when I bite into one of their burritos, it's not quite heaven, but it's as close as I'm going to get to it for a while. [IH]

When you put in the kind of serious drinking time that I do, you tend to notice the details of your chosen watering hole. The expertise of the bartender, the selection of beers and/or spirits (do they have your favorite vodka, whiskey or ITO C R ' S P I schnapps?), and the apparatus upon which you sit – the barstool. An important

element that should withstand the test of “putting in a shift” at your frequent haunt, the barstool ideally should be just comfortable enough to encourage a few rounds of liquid worship, but not so much that you’ve decided to set up your toothbrush in the medicine cabinet installed at your own private cubicle. With swivel-back, cushioned chairs on wheels that sit on a level above the bar, I hereby decree that the Hang Loose Lounge in Kahului indeed has this vital component mastered. [SC]

Best Plate Lunch ALOHA MIXED PLATE Plate lunch is a trademark of Hawaiian culture. It’s island cuisine meets the lunch special meets damn good food. I’ve eaten at Aloha Mixed Plate plenty of times and I’ve got to admit, they do have some pretty amazing plate lunch. It reminds me of going to your auntie’s or grandma’s and have her cook it up greasy style. But in absence of an auntie or grandma willing to slave over the fire, Aloha Mixed Plate is the best way to go. The plate lunch is a beautiful thing and Aloha has its finger on the pulse of the industry. [TH/IH]

Paddy’s the Pro at Mulligan’s

Friday, or any day for that matter, and meet up with your plumber, your auto mechanic, your postmaster or your future ex-spouse.

You can just as soon talk shit with the guy at the end of the bar as you can ring the bell and buy everyone at the bar a drink. It’s your family here; show respect and you can do or say whatever the hell you want. It’s where we like to take beer-in-a-can tastings, collect wooden nickels, get free love advice (like the “Never pull the same knob twice on the cigarette machine” theory) and join in a group sing-a-long of “Aqualung” or that damn Meatloaf song. It’s where I witnessed my first bar brawl one fateful evening and my first time discovering the musical genius of Willie K in an impromptu bar-concert another night. Anything can happen, and does, at the Sly Mongoose. [SC]

Best Bar to Get Drunk for Under $10 LIFE’S A BEACH I had to do research for this one, thinking maybe you voters knew something, or someone, that I didn’t at Life’s A Beach in Kihei. I showed up without knowing a soul and made friends, got drunk and listened to live music not only within a tight budget, but also within a period of about 10 minutes. I wasn’t sure if my bartendress had horns under her hat or wings under her crop top but it didn’t matter. She knew her way around a rum drink like nobody’s business, and all the while served with a smile. [JR]

Spend just one night or one afternoon (or both, as in my case!) at Mulligan’s On the Blue in Wailea and you’ll understand why this Irish pub wins our readers’ favor. Not only does Mulligan’s feature two-for-one pupus and $1 off drinks for happy hour, but they also have great nightly live entertainment, not to mention some very mischievous (in the most charming way) Irish bartenders. Oh yeah, you’ll be tantalized by the Cajun Seared Sashimi, Harp Battered Shrimp and Guinness on tap. And yes, you will enjoy flirting with the cute cocktail servers or (like me) taunted mercilessly by Irish Mike and his clan of rebel-rousers, as you enjoy the sounds of Celtic Tigers or John Moore Project, whether inside or enjoying the magnificent skyline outside on their lanai. You may even stay longer than you wanted to, pulled into the merry mayhem that ensues.

But, you know, delicious debauchery is good for the soul, and I can think of no better time (Happy Hour) and no better place (Best Bar – Mulligan’s) to pull it off. [SC]

Five days a week will find Paddy "Who's Your Daddy?" serving up fine liquor and brew at Mulligan's On the Blue in Wailea. Paddy is up early every day to quench the heavy thirst of hot Wailea, serving his drinks with a big helping of irresistible Irish charisma and wit, so it’s no wonder you voted him number one, Maui. He keeps the ladies gushing with his Irish accent, while he pours Guinness like the true professional he is. Paddy's expertise is openly shared, he is quick with the orders and

We begin with superior Angus Cows and hand-raise our cattle in paradise on tropical grasses supplemented with all natural feed created from sugar cane and pineapples. Under a warm Hawaiian sun our cattle enjoy perfect growing conditions in a stress and pollution free environment. The result is beef that is not only exceptionally tender and tasty, but lean and healthy.

Producing exceptional yields, tenderness and taste begin with dedicated cattlemen who love what they do–raising each cow with personal attention.

KKO (KAI KU ONO)

ROY’S SOUFFLE

Pupus aren’t the only great thing about KKO in Kihei. They’ve also got these amazing red leather couches with leopard print pillows, neontrimmed palm fronds covering the lanai and a late night happy hour. Their extensive appetizer menu is served until midnight and includes such yummies as Spicy Kauai Shrimp baked with garlic, butter, lemon juice, Chardonnay and “nuke” paste. KKO also has Mango BBQ Ribs, oysters, Tai grilled calamari, a Crab and Artichoke Dip and amazing sushi, like the Hazey and Howzit rolls.

So pimp out on the leather (couches, I mean), suck down a martini (perhaps “sip” is more appropriate?), and eat a fabulous pupu or two (or three...or maybe just one more sushi roll!). [SC]

This dessert is on everyone's mind year after year. It’s almost as if people can't stop thinking about it once they've had it. “When's the next time I'm gonna get it?” is what they're thinking afterwards. Hot crunchy chocolate exterior, soft gooey fudgy chocolate inside, accompanied by its perfect mate, vanilla ice cream. Roy's executes this dessert with excellent form, awing audiences worldwide. I'm not a chocolate lover, but this is the stuff dreams are made of. [JR]

Best Saimin HOUSE OF SAIMIN Saimin is a delicatessen in the islands and finding the perfect bowl of noodles can be cause for celebration. Our readers celebrate around one bowl of saimin, with a landslide victory of votes.

Of course House of Saimin dominates the world of saimin on Maui. Uncle Rudy and Aunty Nora are there every night cooking up fresh noodles and special broth for their steaming and sensational bowls of goodness. You can get veggies or not, extra chicken sticks or haupia pie, and you can always count on a refreshing candy as they send you out the door with a happier healthier opu, thanks to their handiwork. Lucky for late night people finding themselves on the westside, they have the best and latest night menu around. You can’t beat the prices either! [JR]

Best Chicken Wings

Okay, so there’s only two and they’re both great, but the very fact that anyone put in the effort to create an Irish pub on an island in the middle of the Pacific means they should win an award. So I think Reilley’s is going to stumble ITO C R ' S P I away with this one because of their superior location on the west-side that puts them right on the edge of Ka’anapali and plops them within hurling distance of eight major hotels. And with a bar that looks out over the 18th at the North Course, Reilley’s is the place to be when sucking down a cold one after your round or on the day that all drinkers thank the Irish for, St. Paddy’s Day. [TH]

Um, I can only imagine that this award will come as not only a big surprise to Dave, bartender extraordinaire at Milagro’s in Paia, but also a huge, maddening embarrassment. But believe me, I’ve witnessed firsthand the hordes of females clamoring for a space at the small bar just for a sweet smile or a wicked grin from Mr. Pookie Lips. The readers have spoken here, Dave, don’t blame me for your charms – I know you can’t help it. Just keep batting your butterfly lashes, mixing your aphrodisiacal concoctions and quietly, yet authoritatively, mastering your domain. [SC]

I love chicken wings. I can't help it, it's the perfect appetizer to me, crispy and tangy. They're served with ranch dressing and spicy barbeque sauce along with celery and carrot sticks. It’s even good for you! Well, you could get caught up in my buffalo wing propaganda if you’re not careful.

BJ's knows their chicken wings - they come crispy outside, juicy inside, with dips and sticks for all! Followed up with an icy cold draft and I'm in wing heaven, not to mention on a cheap date. [JR]

This place is so good it’s not even there anymore! An unfortunate circumstance linked to the obscenely large rent requirements of Lahaina caused Maui Brews to close up shop on what was and still is the best place to watch Monday ITO C R ' S P I Night Football on Maui. Granted, you had to get there in the middle of the day to watch the thing (if you wanted to watch it live), but plenty of TVs and killer happy hour specials on pupus and draft beers - of which there were tons - made Maui Brews THE place to be on Monday night (er, I mean day) for football.

idating wine menu and the kind of attentive and knowledgeable service that satisfies and does not annoy – oh, and did we mention that Chocolate Soufflé? – Roy’s clearly wins the title for best dinner. I’m sure if they were open for lunch, they’d get that one too. [SC]

BEST RECENT MOVIE FILMED IN HAWAII This category was the subject of vicious argument and dedicated campaigning that ended in a tie. Both movies have blondes with pigtails.

Both movies have Hawaii’s spectacular scenery. And both scripts have the line “Marsha, Marsha, ITO C R ' S P I Marsha” in them. The obvious movie is A Very Brady Sequel but the second is a little less apparent. In our second film, the “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha” line is not a result of sibling jealousy but is instead screamed as part of a money shot. Our co-winners in the category are the stunning cinematographic genius of the Brady movie and the collection of pornographic films shot at Maui’s Blue Pool. This combination of hearty family entertainment and pure, sexual filth covers both sides of the cinematic spectrum and the merits of each have earned them both a share of the best Hawaiian film title. After all, where would the world be without porn and the Brady Bunch? We start to run into problems when the two come together but hey, I would love to see Marsha…well, that would be neat. [IH]

THE POINT 101.1FM Turn on the radio and you will no doubt hear The Red Hot Chili Peppers followed by Evanescence, Linkin Park and Audioslave. It's inevitable. Turn the dial as much as you want,

For as outstanding as Halloween in Lahaina has gotten over the years, thanks to Lahainatown Action Committee, what with the scantily clad and overly clad all partaking in the act of self-humiliation, I'm still left with memories from a ITO C R ' S P I time when they didn't close that big chunk of Front Street. One such memory was when my friend Ben and I took all of our crap candy and threw it at the costumed fools while my dad drove down Front Street. We managed to get a trial-size pack of Sixlets down a --let's say "bountiful"--woman's cleavage and I'm sure you're all aware that for an 11-year-old boy, that's like finding Jesus. In

If you are reading this and you haven’t already formed an opinion in your mind within two seconds, then you must be so lame that you don't even have your own political cause. My advice to you is to get up off your big lazy okole and get ITO C R ' S P I knee deep in the shit around you because there is lots of it. Don't know where to begin? Look deep within yourself and find something that you're passionate about, even remotely, you lethargic creature of capitalism, and argue desperately in your underdog's favor.

There are plenty of great causes that continue to mark our disgusting human existence and will remain until death do us part: human rights, the Angelican faith, racial and sexual equality, hunger, child labor, overdevelopment, Catholic priests, oppressive governments, our deteriorating and polluted environment, the wrath of war, the existence of aliens and your right to be nude 24/7. Just stay away from the cults, mush brain. [JR]

you're going to hear it. But 101.1 The Point is the lesser evil in the land of limited song play.

And sometimes, being the lesser evil makes you the best. The Point consistently plays good music, is based on Maui and has the best commentary and sound bytes between songs. Best of all, they don't cut to lame shows like Loveline every night. For those of us with a broken tape player (not even a broken CD player), the radio is all we have.

With Willie K leading the forefront, other bands that have made special appearances include Kapena, Malino, Fiji, Oshen, BET, Dezman, Gomega, Piilani, Catch a Fire, Crazy Fingers, Kanekoa, Nuff Sed, Cool Rush, Neto Peraza and Louise Lambert, Kohomua, Typical Hawaiians, Sex With Lurch, The Eyeshadows, Pepper, Soulive and ALO. Oh, the list goes on and on. Thank you, Hapa’s for continuing to pioneer the way for live music venues on Maui! [SC]

Best Art Gallery GALERIE LASSEN Galerie Lassen undoubtedly was voted Maui’s best art gallery because it evokes the same sense of awe as Lassen’s paintings. Touring it is like entering into one of Lassen’s gloriously luminescent paintings.The experience immerses you in flamboyance, color and a sense of other-worldliness. You feel like you’re on a trip to Disneyland, when you come faceto-face with Lassen’s audacious painting of Mickey Mouse in his role as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The gallery is a perfect reflection of Lassen’s art: breathtaking, bold, dazzlingly colorful and chosen the best on Maui. [JK] [I think I’m gonna vomit now-Ed.]

In fact, I don’t know which he’s better at, singing or playing the guitar. And to top it off, he’s a one-man comedy act at the same time.

On several occasions, I have ventured to Hapa's nightclub in ITO C R ' S P I Kihei on a Tuesday night. Tuesday night is "Ultra Fab Tuesday". “Fab” as in fabulous, gay, dance-with-your-shirt-off night. As soon as you enter Hapa's, house and techno rhythms fill the air with a touch of sass. Okay, not just a touch. A full-blown, smack-in-theass room filled with sassy, hot men and women. All in all, each night has turned out to be loads of fun and since we’ve lost Jabba’s Place this past year, Hapa’s thankfully accommodates with the best gay night on Maui. [CM]

for more shows. While Best of Maui's top Jazz musician Tom Conway is not often gigging, he can be heard by picking up his CD, Hot Gypsy Nights. Mana'o Radio in Wailuku, FM station 91.5, features local, independent musicians who are trying to receive recognition for their hard work. Conway presented his CD to Bill Best, one of the DJs at the station. Best played the CD immediately and Conway was put on the air to talk about the CD. "I am so grateful for the people at Mana'o Radio," Conway said. "They still play my CD and I have had people recognize the group because of Mana'o Radio." [JR/CM]

Marty Dread has put Maui Reggae on the map, and kept reggae alive and kicking with his weekly reggae nights at venues around the island. My first Marty experience happened to be over 15 years ago, as a young teen carousing the Baldwin beach area for cute boys, where he would perform free shows as a Maui youth himself. While neither of us has aged a bit, Marty Dread's reggae career has matured with several CDs, lots of airtime and regular *paid* gigs on the island. Irie! [JR]

Do I really need to tell you? Here on our small island, we really only have one movie theater that can be considered the best - The Maui Mall Megaplex. Not only is it the newest movie venue we have, but it smells the best. Only those select few that have no sense of smell would have voted for the Wallace Theater at the Wharf.

Seriously, the Wharf? I know we are rich in tradition and we love to preserve pieces of history, but the wharf is no ancient treasure. The Megaplex, on the other hand, with its high ceilings and stadium seating - no wonder it’s the best. I mean they have everything. They even have reclining chairs for the kids when they get bored during "Sinbad; Legend of the Seas," and parents, don't forget those love seats… [KH]

Best Club DJ DANIEL J Daniel J has been a centrifugal force in Maui’s spinning scene bringing fresh spinning meat to our carnivorous ears and generous servings of dance parties for past, present and future.

I have indulged on many a sweaty night of sweet groovy capering to the sights, smells and ear candy served up by Daniel and his cohorts. Obviously you too, Maui Time readers, have a swell memory or two as you cast your votes for this Maui mixmaster icon. [JR]

SANSEI The Sansei restaurants in Kapalua and Kihei are not only known for their fabulous sushi, but for also for their karaoke nights. On Thursdays and Fridays, the wonderful residents of Maui go to Sansei to belt out their favorite tunes. Amateurs and professionals all attend –you never know who’ll show up (like Michelle Branch in Kihei a few months ago!) and sometimes, a little bit of alcohol helps the performances. Out of all the places on Maui to karaoke, Sansei's was voted the best and my screeching renditions may have had something to do with that. [CM]

What’s better than hearing all your favorite alternative rock songs as you down your fifth Jägermeister, chat it up with friends and attempt to use that “fail-proof” pickup line on your next victim? Crunch Pups are a talented group of musicians who help you achieve this nighttime nirvana. They effortlessly breeze through an eclectic mix of some of the best college radio hits so well that at times, you’d swear you were listening to a surprise live concert by 311, The Strokes or Third Eye Blind. You can catch Crunch Pups island-wide also playing covers from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blind Melon, Incubus, Dave Matthews, Matchbox Twenty, White Stripes, Violent Femmes and Sublime. [SC]

THE BEST ACCIDENTAL STREET THEATER

ness, I see a young lady wearing a mini skirt, dark glasses and the above-mentioned bike riding foot apparel. A perfect get-up for disaster and not necessarily the best choice for chugging along on a Schwinn. The recipe for disaster culminates with the approach of an oncoming car and her efforts to get onto the sidewalk. As she angles her bike, one of her sandals slips off, ends up under her back tire, sends her front tire into the curb and she goes ass over tea kettle into the dirt. She had this look on her face like, yeah, I’m pretty much screwed. After I made sure she was okay and grabbed her sandal for her, tears of laughter streamed down my face and I wet myself. [IH]

Fingers gets the pheromones flowing for many a Friday night hook-up by infectious soul-reggae-hiphop-rock-pop covers and originals, despite the crowded bar with overpriced drinks. Crazy Fingers has played just about every possible location on Maui, catch them when you can and keep your dancing shoes on ‘cuz you will be bumpin’ and grindin’ with the best of ‘em. [JR]

OLD LAHAINA LUAU Old Lahaina Luau wins this victory with an amazing count of votes. Why is this luau so loved? Perhaps it's the remarkable luau grounds that give you an intimate look at the Hawaiian culture and food and dance, despite hundreds of other malihini around you. Is it the beautiful performers and their mesmerizing dance through Hawaiian history, or the 'broke da mout' onolicious spread of kau kau? Perhaps it's the pour of mai tais faster than a waterfall in Hana, or the dazzling sunset views. It's all of these things and more.

Old Lahaina Luau dancers also brave the New York winter cold (in hula costumes) every year to bring a taste of our islands to the Macy's parade, spreading Maui's aloha nationwide and further. Well done, Old Lahaina Luau, ho’omaika'i. [JR]

Best Guitar Slinger With A Drum Machine MAURICE BEGA

BEST LOCAL BAND TO SHAKE YOUR GROOVE TO

You can always dance the night away at Hapa’s. They have the biggest and best dance floor on Maui. My favorite night happens to be Amatuer Pole Dancing night. Hot pants and hooker heels required. Shake your bootie and find a cutie. Hapa’s has a great schedule with something different going on every night so if pole dancing isn’t your thang maybe Willie K on Mondays is. [JR]

BEST ADULT VIDEO SELECTION For pure, unadulterated entertainment, check out the stacks at Paradise Spice in Wailuku. We’re talking serious intellectual X-rated cinema, of course. With titles like “Fast Times at Deep Crack High” and “Saving Ryan’s ITO C R ' S P I Privates”, just perusing the endless video titles is enough to keep you in stitches, and in stock, of only the highest caliber of pornorific film fun. You can even tell your co-workers that you’re doing “research” in order to take an extralong lunch break and venture out to the most video-intriguing adult store in Maui. I mean, so I’ve heard anyway. [SC]

Best Hard Rock/ Metal/Punk Band KHRINJ For over five years, the guys of Khrinj have rocked you hard, all over the island, and these days they’ve never sounded better. Now you show them your appreciation by voting them the best original Hard Rock Band – good job, Maui! There is something to be said for musical diversity and Maui Time readers know that when it’s time to rock, it’s time to Khrinj. Soon the world will know, too (insert diabolical laugh here) – right guys? Right?! [SC]

BEST STREET CHARACTER A casual walk under the Banyan tree can turn into a not-so-typical church service. You have seen him with his long, gray hair and mustache – we call him Preacher Man. He plays the guitar and preaches like the world is coming to an end. His passion for the Bible runs deep through his blood and then shoots straight out of his mouth, However, there’s another contender for the title. Driving from Lahaina to the other side (and vice versa) on the Pali can be curvy and dangerous. So when you are rounding the corners, keep a careful eye for the ever-popular Pali Walker. Preacher man and Pali Walker are definitely the best street characters on Maui. [CM]

This is the life; we can lay in the sun on Kaanapali beach on Saturday afternoons drinking beers hidden in cozies, listening to the sweet sounds of Maurice Bega, Maui's favorite guitar player with a drum machine.

His catchy songs and smooth strummings keep the beer going down and the conversations playful at the Hula Grill, and their outdoor venue keeps folks like me on the beach entertained, too. I am not sure what Maurice has been up to since his last well received CD, 2 Hearts, so I leave it up to you readers to catch up with him. You can hear this hardworking local musician also at BJ’s on Tuesday from 8-10:30 p.m. [JR]

FILMCRITIQUE

BY COLE SMITHEY

Unloading Firepower Bruckheimer & Bay Damn the Propaganda Torpedoes Bad Boys II (★★★) "Bad Boys II" is packed with every brand of action movie cliché known to man and some we could do without. Brains get splattered, a KKK assembly has a cross burning during a drug deal and corpses serve as drug smuggling baggage in this typically expensive and messy Jerry Bruckheimer production. Bruckheimer has become the brand name when discussing the archetype of everything that's wrong with Hollywood.

Martin Lawrence and Will Smith share a breezy chemistry as a pair of loopy narcotics detectives when the onscreen spectacle isn't steam-rolling their vivacious personalities.

Director Michael Bay is a hybrid director who shoots and cuts every scene as if it were a three-minute music video. The success of Bay's early music video career, and foray into television commercials for Coke, Nike and Milk are textbook examples of the power of propaganda to control media managed markets. So it's not a little disconcerting to see a large-scale movie like "Bad Boys II" perpetuating stereotypes of racism, reck-

less U.S. police and military influence, drug trafficking and cold-blooded murder with all of the caviler capitalist distillation of a TV commercial.

From behind a super slick veil of over-the-top action, "Bad Boys II" treads gracelessly over the same terrain that Brian De Palma's "Scarface" astonished audiences with 20 years ago. The difference here is an openly lawless sensibility employed by every authoritarian group at play in the movie. It is a breast-beating anthem blasting out a clarion call of precision executed disaster.

The flashes of helium-filled story that scarcely map out the narrative skeleton have our returning duo set to break up at the end of their current mission because of the stressful situations that Mike (Smith) gets Marcus into (ie. Car crashing pursuits and bloody shootouts). It doesn't help Marcus' questionable sanity - he's experimented considerably with therapy -- that Mike is dating Marcus' DEA agent sister Syd (Gabriele Union), who coincidentally is working undercover with Miami "ecstasy" drug lord Tapia (Jordi Molla "Blow") as a money changer. From this bare form, the movie sets out to steadily outdo itself with gross-out scenes of intense gun and car vio-

You ain’t so bad...Eye of the tiger, baby, eye of the tiger lence that eventually settles into a decidedly darker brand of gallows humor before cranking out an obligatory exploding mansion scene for its finale.

When our heroes seek refuge in a landmineridden area outside the walls of Guantanamo Bay (internment camp), we are expected to forget the US military policy of "shoot anything that moves," and accept that the twitchy guards will wait for Michael Bay to shout "cut" before firing their weapons. The magnitude of fantasy on display is telling for its quick ability to numb the audience to a level of violence unmatched by any movie other than perhaps Spielberg's gore-fest "Saving Private Ryan."

Bruckheimer and Bay are moving in a very definite direction of propaganda cinema. Since Bay

and Bruckheimer made the original "Bad Boys" in 1995, the duo has constructed "The Rock," "Armageddon," and "Pearl Harbor" in a lineage of populist entertainment that relies on utmost spectacle to convey a world where gunfire and explosion are natural outgrowths of a world order of revenge. To argue that the filmmakers are following or setting a trend is a moot point because no other country or group of filmmakers has access to the limitless supply of money and weaponry that these Hollywood moguls do. Bay and Bruckheimer are consciously positing a New World disorder and, with "Bad Boys II," it's expected that droves of minority audiences will be along for the ride. Dangerously numbing territory lies ahead - buyers beware. Rated R 151 mins.

BY SOPHIA FARIDI

Hawaii’s Fruit of Kings 9th Annual Maui Pineapple Festival As a city girl from Chicago, I have often found myself struggling to relate to some of the ways and customs here in Maui. But this at least I do understand. Like any longstanding tradition, there’s something amazing in cherishing the things that have shaped the culture and lives of a community for so long. For those of us who still have a thing or two to learn about what’s held sacred in Hawaii, here’s good starting point. If there’s one emblem that represents the economic, social and cultural struggles of this land, it’s the pineapple, second only to sugar cane. This fruit has been an important fixture in Maui’s economy, its history and likely its future.

The pineapple, otherwise known as the fruit of kings, has become a staple in Hawaiian culture and to the tourists that travel here. It takes at least a year and a half to fully grow just one of these fruits enjoyed throughout the world. It’s royal implications came about in the 1600s when pineapples were still very rare in Europe. It became such an uncommon and coveted commodity that only royalty like King Charles II had the pleasure of enjoying the sumptuous fruit. But centuries later, it would be the Americas and a man named James Drummond Dole that would make the pineapple more than just a delicacy.

In 1898, Hawaii was officially made a part of the United States. Two years later, in 1900, Dole went to Hawaii with a $1000 and a dream of growing and canning pineapples and started the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. Today Maui remains the home of the largest

plantations providing pineapples throughout the world.

So to honor this local symbol, the 9th Annual Maui Pineapple Festival will be celebrated this Saturday and Sunday, July 19-20, at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center in Kahului.

The event will be highlighting the impact the pine has had on Maui and its people. It will feature a variety of fun and entertaining ways to celebrate the sweet sensation for both children and adults.

Kids can compete for prizes in the Keiki Pineapple Olympics where no one will go away empty handed. Gift certificate and merchandise will go to some of the lucky winners. Brenton Keith, the well-known magician will be making several appearances, as well as Una the Magical Clown. Kids can also get their faces painted, have a hand at making some pineapple crafts or test the waters at the pineapple fishing pool.

Certain to be one of the biggest attractions for both children and adults is the Pineapple Eating Contest where contestants will gorge on some of the island’s juiciest and sloppiest pineapple slices. Or if you’re not in the mood to consume mass quantities, you can please your palate with samples of fresh pineapple chunks and juice courtesy of the Maui Pineapple Co.,

Singing Lessons

TheArtofSinging

Ltd. Local restaurateurs will have available their delectable pineapple specialties. And for those true pineapple aficionados, there will even be some cooking demonstrations held in the Queen’s Market Food Court.

The Pineapple Museum will have on display the history of the pineapple told through black and white photos and old newspaper clippings from the Maui Pineapple Co., Ltd. archives near Centercourt. Color copies of the old-fashioned pineapple can labels will be available for purchase.

If that’s still not enough, several retailers will be selling everything from clothes to fruit to homemade jams. Pick up a recipe booklet to bring home some of the tastes of previous pineapple desert cooking contests. Be sure to stop by Saturday at 1 p.m. for “A Taste of Pine”, a bake sale featuring some of Maui’s best pastry chefs to benefit The Friends of the Children’s Justice Center.

And, of course, no celebration would be complete without some live entertainment. Many of Maui’s premier talents will be performing throughout the festival including The Three Sisters and ‘Ahahui Ka’ahumanu with Laoho.

I might not yet be all that well versed in the ways of Maui, but I think I could really get used to this place.

With the flavors of paradise so easily at hand, how could I not? MTW

Brews’ Bye-Bye Brings Rebirth

Over A Quarter Century of Great Fish, Steak, & Grog

*Westside entertainment update* [MUSIC] It’s good to see that with the demise of Lahaina’s late-night venue Maui Brews, other bar/restaurants are slowly picking up the slack.

Compadre’s, once home to several packed-house evenings of live music and even Raves (remember those?), has signed on a DJ (Kama) for Wednesday night. And the Hard Rock Café, happily increasing their weekly lineup, is taking on the hugely popular Marty Dread Mondays, along with DJ Jammin’ J on Wednesdays. Also, the Cool Cat Café is starting up their after-dinner, live music schedule with the Opti-Mystics on Friday. Now we anxiously await the opening of the Paradise Bluz on Front Street and we’re on our way. Didn’t Moose McGillycuddy’s have live music late night once also? Hmm. Hey, folks, it’s a start. Let’s kick this scene into gear, shall we?!

Yo-Yo Listen Up Friday, 6 p.m. at Maui Mall and Sunday, 2:30 p.m. at Lahaina Cannery Mall [SPORTS] It’s great to see a sport that has a level playing field for anyone interested in giving it a go. Whether you’re big or small, male or female, have a bum knee or are in peak physical condition, everyone can appreciate the fun and entertainment of a good yo-yo session. I grew up with a yo-yo cutting off the circulation of my middle finger but never got very good at it. No athletic prowess. Head down to watch 1999 World Champion and National Master Player (that’s a real title) Jennifer Baybrook do more than walk the dog. You can bring your yo-yo along and have a day full of fun doing everything from participating in competition to learning yo-yo maintenance. Best of all it’s free. They will be testing for performance enhancing drugs so leave the steroids at home. [IAN HOUSTON]

MY SO-SO LIFE

ARIES: The end of an emotional roller coast-

I've had the same boyfriend for six years. He claims he loves me, but refuses to get married.

How is this possible? He is sweet, but we have very little (if any) sex. The last time was three months ago. It's been like that since year two of the relationship. I'm also paying for more than half of everything. Do you think he's just using me?

Under-satisfied Despite valiant efforts by those who make commercials showing bonfires coming out of people's toes, nobody cares if you have athlete's foot.

That's probably because it's called "athlete's foot," not "deadly athlete's foot." Sadly, the standard for concern about a medical condition has always been danger of becoming clinically dead, not merely irritated to death. It's why people sprint across restaurants to bear-hug chicken bones out of choking victims, but never to tear the ugly off a fashion victim (any girl wearing cargo pants and stiletto heels).

If only the relationship world weren't plagued by medical world prejudices. Unless one's romantic situation seems likely to cause convulsions or death, it's considered bad form to run away screaming.

Thankfully, your boyfriend isn't chasing you around the living room with an ax. Then again, he isn't chasing you around the bedroom with flavored, scented massage oil, either. And while it's great that you aren't a victim of domestic violence, shouldn't domestic violent boredom be cause for alarm? You aren't alarmed because you've got your head full pondering why a guy who won't have sex with you and won't pay his way won't marry you. Marry you? Hello? What is it about vague dissatisfaction that inspires you to try to make it permanent vague dissatisfaction?

Your big worry is whether the grass looks less brown on the other side (i.e., is he just using you?). What really matters isn't his motivation for sticking around, but your own. There's no mention anywhere in or near your letter about "boundless happiness" or anything even remotely Hallmark-cardy in tone. Okay, so the guy's "sweet." Wouldn't you be, too, if somebody else were paying most of the bills? What you share with him is like flesh-eating bacteria, but with an extremely slow digestive process: the life-eating relationship. Days come, days go.

More days come, more days go. On a positive note, you're not dead yet. Clinically speaking.

Plus, you probably still have your left arm where your left arm used to be. Oh, joy.

If you were new boyfriend-shopping today, would you look for one who offers you lack of sex, refusals to get married, and financial dependency? So, why are you still there?

Because you've put in all this time, and you'd have to admit you've wasted it if you left now?

(Why not waste more time instead?) Maybe you're afraid of being alone. Newsflash: You're alone now. It's just a crowded kind of alone.

Until you do the other kind of alone, the one where you work on your relationship with yourself, you won't have a happy relationship with anybody else. Sure, it'll be terrifying, braving the big, hairy, green-fanged unknown. On a positive note, it shouldn't be anywhere near as frightening as the dull, joyless known.

er draws near. By Tuesday night you'll begin to work your creative mojo. The weekend is amplified by the random spunk of an Aries moon. It's a good time to start a new relationship or to challenge someone.

TAURUS: Monday and Tuesday are highlighted with the moon in Taurus.

Personal issues regarding your local environment will hit home. Your elders and your ancestral history may fascinate you. The weekend is good for dreaming.

GEMINI: A very expansive state of mind allows you to write heartfelt poetry, to tell tall tales, and to move around like a bumblebee collecting pollen from many flowers. Do things for love rather than the love of money.

CANCER: You give the world a sense of stability these days. You're ready for adventure, yet you're keeping at least one foot on the ground. Any day is a good day for getting in the water. Romances may take a turn towards the serious side.

LEO: Dreams end as you begin to wake up.

Leo season begins on the evening of the 22nd at 8:04 PM Maui time. Get ready to rage and roar. Your power switch gets turned on. The weekend has you in a fortunate position. Greet the day with generous love.

VIRGO: This could be your best chance for making friendly social contacts. Smile a lot and at least look like you're having a good time. You have freedom within limits. It's a good time to pay a visit to someone that's shut-in in a hospital, rest home, or prison.

LIBRA: I see you pushing yourself at work to get things done. After this weekend, things should mellow out. Be ready to play. Social invitations keep on coming. Pace yourself. Save room for fun. Challenges may help you get ready for your next promotion.

SCORPIO: Experience can be a tough teacher. Scorpios can be tough students. Get your resumes updated. Opportunities for career advancement will begin next week.

Enjoy new and exotic experiences.

There's no reason for you to be deprived.

SAGITTARIUS: Metaphysical and erotic transformation will lead to some sort of unusual serendipity. Keep your household free of any potential hazards. Being graceful will take some work. You'll need a klutz-friendly environment.

CAPRICORN: It's good to see you like this.

Somehow you've maintained harmony in spite of having a hard row to hoe. Deepening your relationships while being open to change is your next assignment. Pay off old debts and allow others to give to you.

AQUARIUS: Physical difficulties will no longer dominate your mindscape.

You're getting ready for some good loving.

Your diplomatic abilities are improving.

Romances at work could begin to spark. Get together with close friends this weekend.

PISCES: Continue with your constructive actions. You're building on art and creative expressions. Some of our darkest days give us the best songs. Keep on exercising and eating right. Your work schedule is about to expand and you'll need good energy.
