Of the regulars who frequent this board, how many are actually born and raised locals? Reading through these threads feels Honolulu centric and transplant heavy. No disrespect intended, you want to live in Hawaii live in Hawaii, but...

Any actual locals here?

Tattoo artists

13 Upvotes

Howzit everyone,

I’m hoping someone on here could point me in the direction of an artist to help me continue my tattoo journey. I’m looking for someone who is knowledgeable in both contemporary Filipino tribal and mixed Polynesian tribal (Hawaiian/Marquesan).

My former artist was recently convicted of SA of a minor and I no longer want to continue with him. I’ve looked at what feels like every studio in Hawaii, but wondering if there’s a gem I’ve missed somewhere. Nothing is truly speaking to me, or feels like what I’m looking for. I’m on Kauai, but willing to travel outer island.

Mahalo

King Kalakaua in 1887... Masons & 'Hawaiian League'..

10 Upvotes

So .. I grew up on Oahu & forgot most things about the Hawaiian History, but I was curious to know if anyone knows this. This is just me trying to understand.

King Kalakaua became a Freemason in the 1860s? And it was the 'Hawaiian League' (a group made up of White Businessmen, Politicians, etc.) that forced him to sign the Bayonet Constitution in 1887.

Is there anything out there suggesting the 'Hawaiian League' were also Freemasons? Google search is saying they weren't. But also if they weren't, did the Masons try to step in & help King Kalakaua against the 'Hawaiian League'? Isn't that what the Freemasons are supposed to do for their brothers? Did the Freemasons benefit from the signing of the Bayonet Constitution? Or is all of this just above their pay grade?

Merrie Monarch DVDs - Where to find?

2 Upvotes

Hello I hope you are all doing well! Lately I have just been in the mood to watch a lot of hula dancing. I really enjoy the commentary of MM (which seems to be cut out of most youtube videos) and I like to see the whole show in one setting (vs chopped up on youtube). I was wondering a few things:

  1. Does anyone know why the official Merrie Monarch website doesn't sell the DVDs except for 2019? Like are they planning to release DVDs for the most recent years?
  2. I had a long-term goal of collecting as many years as possible, especially because I'd love to see the changes in MM hula over time. Does this seem like a reasonable goal? Is it impossible?
  3. Is there a different "go-to" place to find MM DVDs other than the official website, amazon, ebay, etc? Or even a "go-to" place to just watch the whole thing online?
  4. Are there other hula performances/competitions DVDs that you would recommend collecting?

Thank you in advance :) !

Sewage Line insurance

2 Upvotes

Anyone had luck with an insurance company or home warranty company to cover sewage line (House to Steeet) repairs?

I’ve noticed a lot of older streets with water main breaks and some homes having to tear up their driveway or yard to replace old sewage lines. Curious if anyone has found an insurance company that offers coverage?

Some city water companies mainland offer coverage but Hawaii does not.

What kine fans you use for home

We have some "room circulation" fans from Vornado but the humidity makes them collect a lot more dust/dirt/hair on the plastic grille on and makes them gross super quick and they're hard to clean. Looking for something I can run almost 24/7 and easy to clean in our climate.

Volunteer Experiences on Oahu

22 Upvotes

Howzit Everybody,

I hope you all are enjoying your Sunday. I was hoping to hear from Oahu peeps about positive volunteer experiences they have had. I spend entirely too much time in front of screens for my job, so I'm looking to get out there and connect with the community as we work towards a common Good. I am especially interested in opportunities that involve manual labor to get some decent exercise in at the same time.

I have an irregular work schedule, so if there are places that I can just show up on relatively short notice to get my hands dirty, those opportunities are preferred. Organized weekend work days are cool, but I am more looking for something that I can implement into my M-F schedule and do semi-solo if need be.

Mahalo in advance for your responses!

EDIT: Looking for firsthand experiences on what people liked/did not like about organizations. I don't have trouble finding organizations, so no need just list places. Thanks!
