Photographer and filmmaker Sergio Goes, who died in a diving accident in July, had a love of life and creative capacity that could also be seen in his relationship with his son, Gabriel Kapuni Goes. Galloping around with Gabby on his shoulders in his son's favorite game of horses and taking his boy to the beach as a weekly event, Goes shared crucial experiences with his young son. Today, in support of Gabriel and in celebration of Goes' life, a fundraising event will be held at The Waterfront, at Aloha Tower Marketplace. Music from Paula Fuga, The Girlas and Brazilian Batcuda and dance by Iona, Giinko Marischino and Samadhi Hawaii are on the bill. For evidence of Goes' career, his independent film "Black Picket Fence" and photos can be seen anywhere from independent film festivals to Honolulu magazine. His artistic legend will always live on, and his works will be on sale. 5-9 p.m. today, The Waterfront, 732-6699, www.sergiogoesfoundation.org. $15 donation.

TRENDS

LOVE, PEACE, RECYCLING

It wasn't so long ago that pop queens sparked the "message" T-shirt fad with tops telling no one in particular "Dump him" or "I stole your boyfriend."

We may all be pleased to learn we've evolved. Or at least our T-shirts have.

The message these days is much more likely to be, in words of T-shirt designer Eunice Chang, "peace, love and recycling."

"It's because of the war. People need a message, and they want a positive message," Chang said last week from the floor of the MAGIC fashion convention in Las Vegas, where calls for a higher purpose in cotton were regular sightings. "I'm just following the fashion."

Kathleen Gasperini of the market research firm Label Networks describes the trend as part of "a new hippiedom" making its way from urban street and summer music festival scenes.

She sees a resurgence of a do-it-yourself aesthetic in youth styles, a willingness to make an earnest statement and little concern that the peace sign around their neck may have been done before.

A trademark of the look is a mix-and-match of styles — a T-shirt screaming "Love, love, love," with '80s-inspired hot pink, skinny jeans and Day-Glo bracelets.

IN CLINE STYLE

Sitting back in Manoa Valley Theatre, with a main stage set as a rundown shack, country folk offering you beer or wine, and the echoing sound of a distinct Texas accent, you're taken into the era of country singer Patsy Cline.

The story is about a friendship between the star and a fan. Cline, played by Zenia Zambrano Moura, left, forms a deep friendship with Suzanne Green, played by Louise Seger, right, which lasts more than three years until Cline's sudden death. From loverelated sorrows to drinking games, the storyline, costumes and performers make for a beautiful musical. A few beers in and you'll be singing your heart out. "Always ... Patsy Cline," 4 p.m. Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; through Sept. 21; 2833 East Manoa Road; $20-$35, 988-6131, www.manoavalleytheatre.com.
