With this kind of reading, you might not need the bars after all. So now the sun's going down and you've just begun to notice that paradise seems to have a large population of Japanese gangs that use fashion as a weapon. One more Versace shirt paired with blue-and-orange polka-dot shorts and you'll be knocked unconscious. Time for Happy Hour. The most infamous of all Honolulu nightspots is First things first.

Cocky young Michelangelo's and Windows, both in daredevils strut around on the sands, ride Eaton Square, are quieter and sometimes monster waves and oocaslonally need have an older clientele. Punani's (they mouth-to-mouth from the lifeguard bf one's want you to snicker at the name) is where you can watch a boy do the hula without having to suffer while Harold and Madge On the island of tell you about their 25th anniversary.

Hana Plantation Houses on Maui offer swimming in se- cluded waterfalls along the road to MT Haleakala, the house of the setting sun. Kinda romantic, huh? I prefer the island of Kauai, where Jurassic Park was filmed and you can bump into Charo and Bette Midler at the supermarket. The beaches there are all your own, hospitality is gracious and gays run the best guesthouses on the island. World-class restaurants are located in strip malls along the road and time is but a nuisance to everyone.

As its own genre of dance music, techno faded as quickly as it came onto the scene, in the process influencing other genres and evolving into several subtypes itself. One can surely observe techno influ- ences in trance, trip-hop, some house records and certainly in the many above- 140BPM releases that make their way to the U.S. from countries like Germany and Italy, where some forms of pure techno thrive even today. But here in the States, BY JIMMY SMITH techno as a pure art form was basically a on to fame and fortune, leaving the pro- musical flash in the pan.

The flash in our little pan, however - one that reality is that we need both the artist and opened the door for some of the great pro- the producer in order to advance the ducer-driven tracks we enjoy today. scene, so everyone needs to just get over Many argue that such tracks are screw- their egos and get on with making music. ing over the artists, while others will remind Whether it's a producer-driven track or a you of a time when many an artist's career diva-driven vocal, if it makes people dance, would take off and he or she would move then it's the tea, right? (Where did that come from?) ... Okay ... Techno influences ... We find many wonderful producer-driven pieces with techno influences, some from right here in the U.S. One American label that puts out loads of great techno-flavored trin- kets is Moonshine. On their releases we'll find acts like Electric Skychurch (lovely ambient trance album), Cirrus, Elli Mac, Keoki (hello!) and Doc Martin, whose cur- rent projects, "Free" by Discfunktional and "Lunatix" by Blackdoctor, are really making a buzz on dance floors from coast to coast. "Lunatix" is a straight-up, bang- your-head-against-the-wall track, while "Free" offers more of a Latin, almost fla- menco, hypnotic blend of hard and soft, soulful yet trippy. Anyway, both tracks are found on one 12-inch for a nice bargain, so check it out. And if you're ever in L.A., you can hear Doc spin at Metropolis; in NYC he does his thing at Twilo. (That's right, he commutes.) Don't forget to ask your local retailer about those tres fabu Moonshine compilations, and if you want to go there, sign on at http://www.moonshine.com ....

If you're not proudly out to your parents, this is a good time to open up that closet! CANCER(June 22 - July 23) Queer Crabs wax eloquent when Jupiter, Venus and Mars buddy up this week. Any relationship, whether for business or pleasure, reaps the benefit of your astute insights. But honey, words alone won't get the job done; it's also time to roll up your sleeves and get physical. Happily, all efforts go to a good cause (your happiness), so get off your duff and get a little dirty. LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23) Extravagant gay Lions will either break the bank or have it crash on their paws. What matter these wounds? Jupiter, Mars and Venus have a way of making your life a little easier no matter how irresponsibly you behave. Familyrelationships go a bit more smoothly now and even the day-to-day job gives you the recognition and payback you deserve. So what type of reward do you actually deserve? VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23) Stand back, world; proud Virgins are divas for a day. Mars, Venus and Jupiter form an unbeat- able triumvirate which grants you unparal- leled popularity and charm. Milk it for what it's worth, dear, queer Virgo and cram that foot into the slipper if you can. This fabu- lousness will fade with the dawn and you'll be back to tending the pumpkin patch in your rags before you can bat an eye. LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23) It takes more than pure moxie to make the world a little louder and prouder, queer Libra. The Jupiter/MarsNenus partnership enhances your ability to make good deeds payoff fig- uratively and literally, so put your money where your mouth is or seek contributions to our cause. Harmony reigns even at home. Does this mean you've reconciled with your family? SCORPIO(Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Resolve any disputes you have with friends or social ac- quaintances during the JupiterNenus/Mars transit. You can turn even your most under- handed, specious motives into something unequivocally divine. In fact, you won't set- tle for less than mutual honesty and har- mony, even if you have to discuss it to the nth degree. Is this the gay Machiavelli we have all come to know?
