The Empire of Hilo
By:

The hilo grip on culture may be esoteric, but it’s intimate and comprehensive.
It’s a storied jazz combo from the mid-twentieth century — featuring Grammy winner Gene Puerling!
It’s a high-concept, low-budget film festival ( with a cute trailer).
It’s sweet, sweet weather.
It’s vintage design.
But it’s also Danica Lo in the New York Post— for sure!
It’s a cool math game for kids, even if its Flash doesn’t work.
It’s open Wednesday through Sunday 8 PM – 2 AM in the warehouse district.
Backwards, it’s a boss band.
In Omaha, it’s poker.
You know it’s carb-smart.
And nothing says “hi-lo” like the phrase “straight to video.”
Hilo is everywhere. But HiLobrow? We have work to do.
