More details will be forthcoming, but I wanted to start confirming the rumors that have been floating around --- there will be a four-day festival of Hawaiian music, hula & culture on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula at the beginning of October.
The Olympic Festival of Polynesian Arts and Culture will be centered on workshops by acclaimed musicians Keoki Kahumoku, Herb Ohta, Jr. and Sonny Lim. The workshops will be held at The Inn at Port Hadlock; there will also be connected events at The Upstage Theatre & Restaurant in Port Townsend.
Events will begin Thursday, October 2, with an opening celebration concert; there will also be a lu`au on Friday night, a jam session on Saturday night, and a closing concert Sunday night. Workshops will be held during the day on Friday, October 3 through Sunday, October 5.
There will be a special lodging deal at The Inn at Port Hadlock for workshop attendees; information on workshop, event and lodging prices will be announced shortly, and registration will begin August 15. This event is co-sponsored by Hawaii Music Live, The Inn at Port Hadlock and Discovery Arts.
More details will be posted in the near future at www.hawaiimusiclive.com

| Time for a quick change of plans for THAT weekend. Good thing I hadn't actually registered for the WSVMA (you don't wanna know) convention already. |

Hey Gregg -
If you substitute "veterinary" for "vacuuming," I'll bet Jean will agree with you.

I stand by my initial (yuk-yuk ... "initial") suggestion of "Maniacs."
Though I knew all along what it really was (and that the convention is in Spokane). |

Certainly more fitting than the boring truth. |

Just wanted to give an update - due to a conflict in his schedule, Keoki regrets that he won't be able to pull this event together at this time.
The two Port Townsend concerts may still be on, however - we're working on the details, and I'll start a new thread about those once I have more details. TENTATIVELY, we're looking at a music-and-hula show on Thursday 10/2, and a concert featuring Herb Ohta, Jr., on Sunday 10/5. |
