Last night Shaun, Pamela and I headed into Paia to see the live music the guy sitting next to me on the plane told me about. It turned out to be this local Maui girl, Anuhea, who just released her debut and is already on iTunes. She had a beautiful voice!
We tried to take pictures, but of course I forgot my SD card. So we got just a few of us hitchhicking from the countryside into the "big city" (Paia... not that big). It was an adventure - first a pickup truck took us halfway there, then we stood outside the Haiku community center for a while getting passed up. Then finally a guy from Haiku heading to chess club in Kahului picked us up and took us to the venue. When we left the show we got picked up pretty quick by Destin, a Haiku native who lives in San Diego now. He said we were the most interesting hitchhikers he ever picked up and as a reward he took us all the way to the dirt road we walk down to the Kahua Institute. Then as we started walking, a woman, who was apparently our neighbor, let us hop in the back of her pickup truck and drove us up the rest of the bumpy road. Score!
Here's a picture of the 3 of us in the back of the truck:
