October, so fun it has its own fest.
Ah, sweet rice wine—it’s gotten you through some rough times. That awkward sushi date with Devon Aoki. That mix-up with the ad execs from Honda. That 12-hour Godzilla marathon. So sit back, pour yourself a glass and enjoy—Oktoberfesting will wait.
You believe in the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve, high fiber, good scotch... and the fact that Susan Sarandon still looks better than most women half her age. Apparently, political activism and cougaring does wonders for the body.
We know you swore off auctions after you scratched your ear and ended up owning one of Monet’s lesser works. But it might be time to dust off the old paddle—several Irving Penn originals (including ones of Kate Moss and Amber Valletta in their finest attire, by which we mean nothing) are going on the block. Art. Always a smart investment.
Sure, Sundance is a swell time (skiing with Redford: priceless), but sometimes you want something... sandier. Your answer: the Hawaii International Film Festival. The lineup is mostly imports from Asia, but you’re here for the screening room, which isn’t so much a room as a beach. Try not to get sand in your popcorn.
Little-known fact: Oktoberfest actually originated in Tulsa. Okay, we made that up, but here you’ll drink your Bavarian lager in a potbelly stein, dominate the annual Bier Barrel Race and take in the tunes of the Polka Meisters. You do not want to face those guys in the Bier Barrel Race.
