Aerosmith in Hawaii


Today I’ve got an e-mail from a friend who is addicted to Rock n’ Roll! The subject was “Aerosmith in Hawaii.” I decided check it out and share with ya’ll guys.

According to some websites, the Aerosmith is coming to Hawaii in the end of their 2009 Tour and it will happen because a group of angry fans filled a class action against the band, claiming about a show that supposed to happen in Maui - Hawaii in 2007, but the band pull out to play in Chicago.

The fans who bought the tickets to the 2007 Tour will receive a free ticket to the show in Oahu and the band will also cover all the expenses for theses fans.

The visit to Hawaii is not listed in the band’s official tour, but as reported by Clashmusic.com, the band will play in the island after the end of the 2009 Tour, set to be in the end of September.

I hope they play for free for everyone in here!! =)

Kamehameha Day


Honoring the Legacy of Kamehameha, Hawai`i's Great King.

Hau`oli là Kamehameha ià kàhou - Happy Kamehameha Day to all!

For generations, islanders have celebrated the Kamehameha Day on June 11 in honor of the warrior chief and conqueror, ka na`i aupuni, of these islands - King Kamehameha I. Once a national holiday of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Kamehameha Day is now a state observance, complete with parades, concerts, lú'au festivities and a two-day hula competition. (...)


Throughout his life, Kamehameha witnessed much change, particularly with the coming of the first westerns in 1778. (...) After his passing in 1819, he would be succeeded by two sons and two grandsons, establishing the Kamehameha Dynasty. (...)


In honor to the Kamehameha Day, the Royal Hawaiian Center will celebrate a parade, Sat. June 13. Beginning in downtown Honolulu at 9:30 am, near the lei-draped statue of King Kamehameha, the parade will make its way through Waikìkì along Kalàkaua Avenue, ending at Queen Kapi'olani Park.


Highlights include floral floats, marching bands, dignitaries, celebrities and colorful pà'ù units where women on horseback don flowing satin skirts (pà'ù) and colorful flower lei representing each Hawaiian island.
