The Birth of Stars
2016-05-10 17:30 | Kailua-Kona Public Library, 75-138 Hualalai Rd, Kailua-Kona, HI, 96740, United States
The birth of stars is a dynamic process in which young stars interact with the cloud of gas and dust from which they are formed.
As young stars age and grow, they will destroy their parent cloud through stellar winds, outflows, radiation, and supernovae.
In this talk, we will explore these processes and see examples of them in action. Studying how stars form can give us clues to the origin of our own Sun and its collection of planets.
Program schedule is subject to change. For more information or to arrange a sign language interpreter and other special accommodations, please call the hosting library as soon as possible: 327-4327.

BAMP Project and AFB Presents Danny Brown
2016-05-10 20:00 | The Republik, 1349 Kapiolani Blvd 3rd Fl, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
The term “artist” is thrown around very freely, but no rapper epitomizes the term better than Daniel Dewan Sewell, A.K.A. Danny Brown. Danny grew up in the decrepit conditions of inner city Detroit. By the time he was a kindergartener, he knew he wanted to be a hip-hop artist. His first recordings were in 2003 as a member of Rese’vor Dogs with fellow Detroit artists Chip$ and Dopehead. His work attracted a Roc-A-Fella A&R who flew Brown out to New York. When nothing materialized, Danny came back to his hometown and started from scratch.
After a series of important, local mixtapes, including the Detroit State Of Mind sequence, Danny released his breakout album The Hybrid in 2010. The album was sad, funny, angry, dark, and down-to-earth, and it led to Danny signing with A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records. Fools Gold released the critically acclaimed XXX in 2012.
Danny was featured on the cover of The Fader and embarked on the Long.Live.A$AP Tour with partners in crime A$AP Rocky & ScHoolboy Q. XXX solidified Danny as an emerging rap star who could party hard and admit his flaws in the same breath. It was his duality that stood out amongst an overstuffed crowd of new rappers, and it’s that multi-dimensionality that makes his fan base so loyal today.
A local opener will be announced soon.
