(Performing: DJ Rhombus)
Come join us in celebrating some of the best young women artists in Hawaii. Artists have created work on the theme, “Future,” and have reflected through their work, how people, places, or events have affected their view of times to come. Through their individual stories, you may glean the future through their eyes, as the artists apply their comment to society, people, themselves, or the environment. Gallery runs through the month of November.

We LOVE Ali Wong. She just tells it like she sees it, no matter how inappropriate. Voted the SF Weekly’s “Best Comedian of 2009” and SF Bay Guardian’s winner of “Best of the Bay 2009 Award,” we’re pretty sure that she’ll knock your socks off. Get ready, because here she comes.

Mindy Nettifee and Amber Tamblyn are once again bringing their twowoman show Crying at the Aquarium to the Girl Fest Hawaii stages. Featuring poetry and some sprinklings of prose set to guitar, Yamaha keyboards and wavy light, Crying At The Aquarium II is a fierce and funny take on everything from contemporary woman-ness and the economics of beauty to eco-romance and political heartbreak. Crying At The Aquarium II is sexy catharsis for anyone struggling with identity and meaning in contemporary American life. It is the opposite of violence. If you've ever found yourself crying in public, or wondering about the amazing jewelry of sea anenomes, or wishing you knew more about how to float, this show is for you. Amber will also be reading from her new book BANG DITTO. Don’t miss it! Opening for Crying at the Aquarium is Youth Speaks National Champion, Jocelyn Ng and Youth Speaks Mentor, Lyz Soto.
