DOES YOUR slot machine hand twitch whenever you see the Cars Cost Less at Cutter slot machine commercial that was filmed at the Cal? Then you’re overdue, and the Cutter guys are giving away choke trips to Vegas (at the Cal, of course). Just test drive a car to win.

And the next day, members of the Pandanus Club (Ken Makuakane, Chris Keliiaa, Roddy Lopez, Jeff Rasmussen) jam with Marlene Sai, Gary Aiko, Bill Kaiwa and Nina Keali‘iwahamana! Stop by the festival and say hi to local artists Peggy Chun, Marc Turner and more!
