It’s the last Friday of the month, which means “Barfly” returns once again to the pages of HiLife.
I was lucky to get Star-Bulletin staff photographer Jamm Aquino assigned to take pictures at Champions Sports Bar and Grill after I had already visited a few times. He’s one of my favorite shooters at the paper, always turning in work that showcases his creativity – like the image above.
Look closely… that server looks like a ghost, yeah?
>> Hot on the heels of Earth, Wind and Fire’s concert earlier this week, Heart arrives in town to take fans on a trip down memory lane next week.
>> Jake “The Snake” Miyasato graduated from UH-Manoa a few weeks ago and plans a move to Washington state next month to take a job at Boeing. Great news for him, but a bummer for local hipsters who flocked to “The Next Movement,” his monthly music/art/fashion showcase at NextDoor. The last installment is set for tomorrow night.
>> Also on Saturday, DJs Toki and Saya introduce “Broken Liquid,” a new drum ‘n’ bass monthly at Bar 35.

Saturday: “The Sauce” at Brew Moon:
