The Fitted Ohana is dropping some serious heat this Saturday. First up is a massive three shirt drop featuring the "Local 116" graphic that shouts out the Construction homies that keep the wheels of progress moving. Available in a red tanktop, black tee, and neon green Construction style longsleeve, this shirt is definitely one to rock with a union of homies.

Also releasing is a special snapback titled "NA'A." This hat is unique in the fact that the camouflage pattern on there is represented by the shapes of the Hawaiian Islands. The seal on the front features a shotgun and a bayonet. The words "BIG GAME HUNTERS" rock on the front, with a graphical representation of wild game and the names of the eight islands. A safety orange and white crest adorns the back.

This set is primed to go and ready for release on Saturday at the Kona St. headquarters. For more info, check out www.fittedhawaii.com

Hawaii has a love affair with SPAM. Yup, that canned meat that is pretty much loathed in other parts of the world is celebrated in force in Hawaii. And this Saturday, this comes to a culmination at SPAM JAM.

Waikiki, more specifically Kalakaua Avenue, is shut down and vendors set up their interpretation of SPAM fare. Spots like PF Chang's, Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood, Doraku Sushi, Jimmy Buffet's, and Gordon Biersch (among others) will be offering their unique SPAM creations. In addition to all this, there's also tons of merchandise booths to pick up your SPAM swag, and entertainment on two stages.

This all goes down this Saturday from 4pm to 10pm in Waikiki. This event is free to attend, but definitely feel free to donate some canned goods (even some SPAM) for their food drive. All pieces collected will be donated to the Hawaii Food Bank.

The dancing will be provided by Honolulu Dance Company's Boogie Down Productions. MCs will be freestyling all night in the Banyan Courtyard.

The graffiti will be on display within the galleries, so don't forget to get a flyer when you enter through the doors.

This all goes down this Friday night at 6pm at the Honolulu Academy of Art. For more info, check out www.honoluluacademy.org

Hawaii's premier Anime convention is back this year. Once again originating out of the Hawaii Convention Center, the three day event features tons of Cosplay (people dressed up in character, for the uninitiated), lots of panel discussions, a karaoke contest (of course), a video game contest (of course)...

... and did I mention people dressed up?

This all goes down this weekend at the Hawaii Convention Center, near Ala Moana.

New hotness from the Fitted Ohana this week with the release of the JAMO ROCKS shirt. This one features a graphic inspired by Jameson's Irish Whiskey. A great drink, and even better commercials. The white shirt has a small hit over the heart, and a full back piece.

Releasing along side of that is a new KAMEHAMEHA New Era: black upper, gray brim, neon green logo. Perfect for the upcoming summer months and the need to have bright colors. Probably matches all the Air Max runners in your closet too.

This drops today at the Kona St. headquarters.
