  1. I can't speak to the Methodists but, again, based on experience with Harvey, despite what you may think of their beliefs, the LDS seemed to be doing great work on the ground helping people out after a disaster.
  2. Hey, not sure if y'all saw this about Samuel Grey Horse: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/fire/2025/01/10/horseback-santa-samuel-grey-horse-house-fire/77594420007/ Who? You know him - you've seen him so many times... He's a fixture on South Congress and loved by the music community. His GoFundMe has already raised something like $32K (the goal was $25K). Love to see the community rally around him.
  3. I know a similar sentiment existed during Harvey relief... donate locally, not to the Red Cross.
  4. Ian Curtis, Joy Division
  5. I mean, it feels like a lot of Hawaii is pretty rural and just sleepy. Am I wrong? Aside from places like Waikiki? Again, I won't know until I go there but it feels like Hawaii is kind of our US Costa Rica. No? So is Hilo Tamarindo?
  6. Yeah - March 2nd, I think. Also thinking of going to the KOOP 30th party also at Antone's
  7. To be fair, I have no idea what we're looking for... I mean, maybe I can make our east side place on the east side 5 nights vs 4
  8. @jimmyjazz you going to go to the Austin Music Awards this year? Working on convincing my wife.
  9. ...and go drink Lambrusco in the hills while enjoying typical non-pretentious food form Emilia. Key.
  10. I mean, I would think a concert like that will make you feel really young... or really old. I saw ZZ Top last year and while they were great, the audience was depressing. Never seen Rascal Scooters and walkers at a concert before.
  11. Reminds me of El Patio / Club No Minors in Houston. Dog food on the menu so you drink their margaritas. Actually, you go for the margaritas but the food is filler to delay the eventual puke.
  12. 4 out of 5 avalanche risk and no beacons... https://snowbrains.com/4-skiers-swept-away-by-avalanche-2-killed-in-off-piste-area-near-val-disere-france/
  13. Started listening to this in conjunction with going through the entire New Order catalog...
  14. Trudy's hasn't been relevant since who the hell knows
  15. Yeah, I get it. I like both. I wish I could live at the beach and a ski mountain simultaneously. Anyway, was reading up on localism in Hawaii since I want to get into the water. Sounds like the strong advice is give respect, get respect and everything flows pretty smoothly from there... and I suspect the more intense waves/local vibes will be ones I'll avoid.
  16. Man, I have no idea how to comprehend this. We had to deal with Harvey and what that did to our community but in comparison, it wasn't a hard effort for the community to bounce back. Well, no, it was hard. It wasn't THIS hard. Even today, you can see the scars of Harvey but you can also pretend it never happened... the trees are still there, the landscape hasn't really changed. Your will be different but your community will find a way to bounce back. It may be hard to fathom now but it will happen. Prayers to you, my friend.
  17. We'll have a car when staying in Punalu'u so I'm sure we'll head over to the north shore quite a bit. May also pack a couple of bodyboards and fins and bring them with me instead of renting to visit Makapuu and Sandy Beach. But honestly, my knowledge of the island is limited. Plan on hiking quite a bit, though.
  18. I'd be curious. Aside from the Big Island we have 3 nights in Waikiki near the Zoo and 4 nights in Punalu'u
  19. OK... trip fully booked. Here's what we've got - 7 nights in Oahu, 6 nights in the Big Island. Will figure out the details later. Have a Hawaiian friend giving me insight on Oahu and a friend who just sold her house in Waikoloa giving me insight on the Big Island... Fly into Honolulu, Oahu Waikiki (3 nights) - no car car pickup Punaluu (4 nights) Honolulu to Hilo Big Island - Hawaii pick up car at Hilo Airport Hilo, Hawaii (2 nights) Volcano (1 night) Kailua (3 nights) Fly out of Kona
  20. That's great - you're lucky to have that so close by
