Innov8 Magazine brings the Local Buzz to interisland travel

After I jump on an airplane and get settled in my seat, the first thing I usually do when they tell me to shut off my Iphone and "all electronic equipment" is reach into the seat pocket in front of me, hoping not to touch something gross and sticky, usually to find a strange illustration of what to do an emegency should my flight pummel into the ocean, or, to find a catalog of interestingly useless things to purchase, or of course, the inflight magazine.

Well, if you happen to be hopping around in Hawaii on a GO! Mokulele interisland flight, you'll be lucky enough to find the ultra-kool Innov8 Magazine. Innov8 is free for passengers to take, and surprisingly so; the mag feels more of the quality of a coffee table art 'zine, with articles about food, culture, fashion, and all things local. While some might argue Innov8 appeals to a "younger-hip" demographic, age ain't nothin' but a number (like R. Kelly said unfortunately), and Innov8 appeals to all who are interested in exciting innovative things, (pun intended). Besides, who uses the word "hip" now anyways, unless your talking about hip-hop, but I digress...

If you get your grubby little hands on an Innov8 magazine, you'll be happy to find a special "Local Buzz" page, that features some exclusive deals and discounts from local businesses including some of Hawaii's favorite restaurants, clothing boutiques, nightlife locations, spas, and much more. So pick up an Innov8 and get your "Free Drumstick" at Popeye's Chicken Hawaii, or get a hookup on your meal at the Mai Tai bar at the Royal Hawaiian Resort, or any of the many exclusive deals in the mag.

Don't worry if you're not on a GO! Mokulele flight right now, you can checkout an online version of Innov8 and the "Local Buzz" deals here:

Free 20-ounce Dr. Pepper soda

Deal of the Day [starting Sunday 11/23] ...

LOS ANGELES — Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality.

The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.

"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.

Dr Pepper is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

Gold Sprints this Weekend in the LBC at Alex's Bar

The good word going around town is that Qmania is going to be giving away some gear at the upcoming Gold Sprints here in Long Beach at Alex's Bar. While the racers are trying to keep their fixed gear riggs from flying off of the rollers, DJs will be spinning and beer will be flowing.

We're not sure what sorts of Qmania hook-ups we'll be giving out, but you can be sure that they'll be sick.

This begs the question: Why don't we have Alex's Bar deals on Qmania? We have Bici Concepts deals. Sounds like we need to get this local watering hole on board.

If the text on the flyer is too small, we've typed it below so that you don't go blind from squinting:

2913 E. Anaheim St
Strong Beach, CA 90804

We'll be there from 12:30pm for a few hours supporting the racers and just kicking it. Come hang with us.

For those of you that are interested in the history of this type of event, we've posted a video for you. Rumor has it that the name is tied to a German beer manufacturer that makes a product called Goldlager or something like that. The name stuck. Check out the original video of this from 1999.
