Kawehi Haug is the Honolulu Advertiser's new entertainment reporter. As an equal opportunity current events junkie, she lives (and reports ... and blogs) by two rules:
1. No pop culture snobbery allowed. Because let's face it, you can't completely understand life in 2008, from politics to indie rock to reality television, if you don't keep up with popular culture.
2. Wherever you are is where it's at. Enough with the Honolulu-New York City comparisons. Leave your heart in Honolulu. It's a good place to be.
With the rules in mind, Kawehi writes about this city's vibrant (yes, vibrant — she can prove it) arts-and-entertainment scene, pop culture references included.

their bite. We're letting Lance blog because he works in the accounting

everything, from the male point of view!
