"""The parking is full guys! Major unexpected overflow situation. You can park at the shire, there is a shuttle (in a limo btw) to & from event, there is also security on site to watch your vehicles! Sorry for the inconvenience all"""
"""THEFT ALERT! Car parked on Pohiki during Earthdance had music equipment stolen. The iPad, Red Samick Bass, & Vintage effect pedals in the pictures posted here where taken. Please be on the lookout in our music community. CONTACT ME if you have a lead. Bless"""
"""That parking situation was super stupid. Next time you plan an event on private property and charge everyone tickets, please make sure you think EVERYTHING through. You had nothing but children there and most of them had no vehicle to worry about the cops (who swarmed your event all night. ) also whose idea was it to shuttle? You drove people miles away from thier car,charged them to shuttle back, then your stupid shuttle broke down. How the hell were all those people supposed to get back to thier cars? Simply stupid. Shoots."""
"""I'm gonna say this only once because I need to get it off my chest. I never worked with Kahiwi before and never met him until last night. When he approached me to play this event because he felt like the other event was not treating the performers correct, I was all about supporting that. He had an honest vibe and was putting it together all for a $10 party.
What I experienced last night was way beyond that. Weather and things out of control aside, this turned into the biggest event like this I have seen on big island. He went above and beyond to bring in fire dancers, vendors, light shows, extra sound, extra staff, food and smoothie places, cinder for the dance-floor, yoga instructors, hookah, massage etc.. All for a $10 party.
One thing about being a DJ, is, and this is why I was so into supporting a good promoter is, that promoters will try to cheat you out of pay or pay you a low amount or you have to chase them down during the party to get paid. Let me say, like a true professional, Kahiwi came on stage to meet me 30 seconds after my set, pay me in cash and thank me for the job. Promoters, take note, that's how you do....all for a $10 party.
And for the naysayers whining about having to pay $5 for a ride, IN A LIMOUSINE, I'm really glad you didn't make it in to ruin the vibes. We had hundreds and hundreds of people having a great time,dozens of people dancing in the pouring rain, smiling faces, and positive vibes.
#128077;And all for a $10 party.
Thanks again and SO much love to Kahiwi and everyone else who helped, danced, participated, weed whacked, vended, DJ'd, performed, or just brought your amazing love and vibes"""
"""After walking in pitch dark with a stroller all the way into the party, I stood off to the side and was listening to music for about five minutes until some asshole threw a hula hoop at my 1 year olds face. In rage I left the party and got to my car and Because the parking wasn't being directed clearly we got a ticket from the cops. This earth dance was really unorganized and the people who were throwing it were VERY rude. Sucks we had to get our money back and couldn't enjoy a good time. Maybe next year?"""
"""The festival was the best $10 I've ever spent. Victoria Broussard and I had an amazing time at our first Big Island event. The promoters told everyone to be there early or else there won't be camping. We were late but ended the night camping by the beach. What a magical night full of dancing and meeting new people. Thank you to the awesome cafe with the massive plates of fresh veggies and pork. Like I said best $10 I've ever spent. Can't believe people are complaining about the price."""
