Tilting windmills
Rather new to Hawaii is Don Quijote, which is a Japanese superstore stuffed with everything from toothpaste to Dickies to groceries to electronic goods. We went to buy snacks and a razor. It's totally random in stock and layout, with a mix of low-end stuff (junky souvenirs) to high-end collectibles (a Spider-Man display for thousands of bucks). The parking lot is massive and the lines can be long, but our pal Jeff had a secret check-out spot in the liquor section.
It's kind of like Fry's with its occasional diorama displays. This one has a rainforest, complete with thunder storms and the penguin mascot!

My favorite thing about Don Quijote's are the "Happy! Happy!" banners hanging from the ceiling - they're like subliminal Prozac.
Martin, are you still in town on Thursday, Nov. 2? I'm a GR reader working on a PhD in English at UH-Manoa who just happens to be giving a talk as part of a panel presentation titled "inventing the Public Sphere: Negotiating Identities, Ideologies, and Ethics in New Media Rhetorics." Giant Robot and how awesome you guys are is a big part of my talk. It's free and open to the public and if you're free 3pm on Thursday, you have a special guest invitation.
Whaddya think?
You can contact me at mecenas@hawaii.edu.
Ciao, Jolivette
Crud, I spelled it wrong! I'll fix it... Also, check your email!
