Maui's Most Talented Sons, Willie K and Eric Gilliom have what is sure to be a Historic Hit Movie Get A Job!



Oh My Gosh!

This Movie "Get A Job! with Maui's most talented Son's is way over the top! Willie K Kahaialii and Eric Gilliom, along with so many familiar and famous Hawaii people, just show's once again the extreme and often over-looked, talent that is part of Hawaii.


I can't imagine that this wouldn't go National and win some awards.


Here just one clip. This is previewing Today, November 28, 2010 at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Expect to see a whole lot more on this.


I had wondered about this since first driving past and noticing Willy dressed as a Pineapple, I figured it had to be Eric, but Hey all Bananas look alike right! I thought it was a commercial. 


What a great show. Pass it around. Leave me comments.

A Kona Coffee Morning

Well, after a meeting with various people from the community to "meet and greet" with the speakers, our plans are to make our way to a beach and possibly swim with the dolphins this morning.

Being an early riser I was up and bathed well before sunrise. Having checked my mail and looked at some Ezine comments, I'm waiting for everyone else to wake up and enough light to snap some pictures.

The one thing missing, as I sit high on the mountain overlooking Kailua, Kona is a Hot cup of Kona Coffee. Being to far away from anyplace to just run down for some and too close to when we all should be leaving, I guess I will have to wait for one until later.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of where we are at for the conference. The bathhouse is pretty cool and gives me ideas.

It's Raining, It's Pouring and I Ran out of Coffee on Maui

Woke early to get some work done and remembered to late that we were out of coffee, augh!

Luckily I'm only a block away from the mall and Starbucks and being that they should have been open a half hour already, I hustled to get ready and ran down there only to find out their coffee wasn't done brewing either, augh again!

I grabbed a bag, hating to pay the price for the "Christmas Blend" and ran back home to grind up and make a pot. Whew, oh and it was pouring the whole time, just lovely.

But freshly brewed coffee in hand and ready to get some work done, videos being processed as I write, (Santa I need a couple of computers to all work at once, hint, hint),  Rains coming down hard and I need to start wrapping it up to go to my "real job" to sit in sub zero air-conditioned office space, since it's too rainy to get much outside work finished. Better pack my thick jacket too.

Life on Maui, versus vacationing on Maui are not quite the same. I think I would rather be vacationing on a cold early morning in some location or cabin I've never been to, than to do a 10 hour job.

As the witch told Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ, "All in good time deary, all in good time."

So for now I put in my time, and keep my mind on the goals and where I want to be and it will happen.

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas in Hawaiian) and have a wonderful day.

Body & Soil Health Conference

Early Registration for the Body & Soil Health Conference is over on Month the 14th of December, 2009. So there is one last day to get your registration in if you are going to be on Maui in January 2010.
there are Four Amazing Speakers that will be there and they are top notch Speakers from the Mainland.

The theme revolves around the micro-Organisims that exist not only in the Soil but our Bodies. It's a conference you don't want to miss! The cost for people in Hawaii is very little considering the closeness of the conference and there will be camping allowed on the Organic Farm that it takes place on.

Food is served throughout the weekend with some off the best Locally Grown Food for lunch and snacks at the breaks.

There is a Soil Analysis and Tissue Hair Analysis done at discounted rates and I just had mine verbally reported to me with the full analysis coming next week. It's amazing how much the analysis really told my story about my health issues and what I can do about making corrections.

The deadline to request the analysis is also the 14th. It should be interesting to see in three to six months how much of a difference it can make with myself. Surprisingly I turned up low in many areas and considering the health challenges and weight loss I have been through over the last year, it is not surprising.

Theresa Vernon will be going over the Tissue Hair Analysis and it is a good chance for some one-on-one time with her. Theresa's website is http://www.tvernonlac.com/index.html and her front page is almost like reading my bio. Check it out and read through her many sections. It's really amazing how much a Tissue Hair Analysis can tell you. If nothing else it can give you some direction and a starting point at understanding where you are at in our health.

So register for the Maui Conference in January or the Big Island of Hawaii the following week. They will also be giving a short presentation at the South Maui Sustainability meeting prior to the Maui conference. It will be a good time to come out and meet them.

For more or to register go to www.MauiGrown.com or call (808) 242-7870 on Maui.

Here are a few links for some good places to get more information on Farming in general:

Maui's 1st Friday Event Afterwards

It started out a pretty rainy afternoon on the way up to Old Wailuku town to attend the 1st Friday monthly Event to kick off the Christmas season.
These events are real shots in the economy for Wailuku. There were a lot of people showed up, plenty of vendors and the usual array of bands from Baldwin High School choral group, that I just missed the last song on, to Hawaiian, Jazz, rock and some Slam Poetry.

Being only a few hours long, things wrap up pretty quickly, but there is a lot of activity all going on at once. I managed to get pictures and video and spend a little time talking with shop owners.

One concern a few years ago was that the Happy Vally side of Main street is kind of left out, so it was good to see some brand new shops doing butique Salon and even Acupuncture opening closer to the Happy Valley side.

The trick now is to get the people not to forget about Wailuku. Kahului always seems to over shadow Wailuku when it comes to commerce.

I'm hoping to get my videos processed and uploaded to eventually be seen, maybe even tomorrow if things work out.
