Mindy
Nettifee and Amber Tamblyn are bringing their
new show Crying at the Aquarium to the 2008
GirlFest Hawaii stages. Featuring full set
performances by both poets, Crying At The
Aquarium is a fierce and funny take on everything
from contemporary woman-ness and the economics
of beauty to eco-romance and political heartbreak.
International slam star Beau Sia calls the
show, “The best thing not on television.
Amber
Tamblyn captures her unique perspective on
life as a girl and the fishbowl of American
celebrity in vivid, personal details that
will shock and sting and amaze you. Mindy
Nettifee finds ways to map places in your
heart you didn’t know existed.”
The show will also feature some musical accompaniment,
including the goddess of protest songs Bonnie
Tamblyn on the guitar. Crying At The Aquarium
is sexy catharsis for anyone struggling with
identity and meaning in contemporary American
life. If you’ve ever found yourself
crying in public, or wondering about the amazing
jewlery of sea anenomes, or wishing you knew
more about how to float, this show is for
you. Special appearances by Bonnie and China
Tamblyn.

This
Saturday’s Smart Party features two
of the best female DJs in Hawaii, Saya and
Toki. Toki takes to the decks with her European
breakbeats, electro, dance punk, indie pop
and drum & bass. Saya comes with the liquidy,
dubby, and funky beats, but with her range
in taste, she can bust out the dancefloor
and darkness as well; you never know what
to expect. You wanna dance? This is where
you’ll want to be tonight.

Yes,
she is offensive. We like to call her “raw.”
But, think about it. How many Asian-American
women do you see out there making it in the
media as an in-your-face performer? If we
hear one more comment about Asian women being
submissive and demure, we’re going to
freak out! Hollywood even gave Margaret Cho
an eating complex. So, that’s why we
love Ali Wong. She’s “raw,”
she’s hilarious, she even makes you
laugh at things you wish you didn’t.
Micia Mosely’s first solo show, “Where
My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians,”
reveals the issues that connect and separate
myriad Black women’s communities. Through
different personas, Mosely portrays the diversity
of Black lesbian experiences, challenging
the notion that there is only one way to be
Black or Queer in the 21st century. Each performance
is unique, as Mosely’s characters engage
with the audience in an improvised Question
& Answer segment. Fresh, hilarious, and
insightful, this show is not to be missed.
