Ticket prices have been "halved". Actually more than "halved". $5 advanced/$10 door from $15/$20.

I don't know why no one goes to this. The music is very good to excellent, the hula is spectacular. It is held in a gymnasium and that detracts a little. The benches are hard and the sound echo-ey up in the rafters (you have to go down on the floor --which you can do!). But Nathan from Hapa is going to be there. The price makes it affordable for all. It's a great event that deserves better attendance.

No, more like a cat finding another cat willing to do its bidding.

Hawaiian falsetto singing is quite beautiful.
