Save Our Ocean at Wikoliana (Aloha Tower) Harbour, Honolulu
April 24, 2010
peaceofmind: different definition. it’s what it is and what it is is fresh! even the high school break dancers will agree!
such a great experience, this show was the pinnacle of last-minute execution done right!
receiving the nod to set-up and head-up the sound+entertainment for this volunteer-driven event at the wikoliana harbour a mere 16 hours before the event, an event meant to raise awareness for and help clean the storm drains polluting our already no. 1 cleanest commercial harbour in the U.S. (a clean-up effort, which, by the way, was a great success!) also resulted in an amazing display of energies in-motion!
the peaceofmind crew came together tight, with joey on the cam and acting as p.a., sahak and jordan holding it down hauling equipment and dropping sick musical vibes, myself caught up in the mix with the equipment, delegating, promoting, and taking on the team-leader role, it was the perfect combo!
so many thanks to everyone who bought a t-shirt and to those who asked for signed t’s! such a blast to sign ’em for y’all! our first-time experiencing such. and also, a huge thanks to the break dancers, the volunteer high schoolers who were digging the vibe, the HIPK free-runners, the ladies dancing like amazing movement i want to see again and again, and everyone else who helped us turn this event out proper! heck, it was poppin’ off so proper that even the local media showed up to kop some footage of ya boys! aw yea!
but the press, forget it, we could care less, the real meaning and beauty of this day’s celebration was the feeling behind doing what you really love (which for us, is this music!) while simultaneously doing for a proper and positive cause that is ACTUALLY demonstrating action and not just spoken words! ahhh, how refreshing.
no doubt, we gonna keep this positive chi all g and rollin’ strong! peaceofmind is on once again with a different definition, another new beginning…so keep up! see where we be in ten or so 😉 see you at the next show!
one love and blessings, peace to all.

Aloha!
Mahalo nui loa for your awesome-ness!
We, at Wikoliana Educational Excursions are in the process of getting the boats in the water and have devoted tremendous time on this priority.
We cannot forget the efforts of every volunteer and especially you guys; our thanks go out to sam the pakman & the peaceofmind crew for all that they did on such short notice.
Knowing that this post is long overdue, we apologize sincerely.
With limited manpower and resources, we are fighting to save the ocean.
Given the recent BP disaster, this need for saving the ocean through education becomes much more accelerated, we urge those who care to e-mail us at wikoliana@gmail.com in the hopes of helping to prevent the next disaster.
These guys have been genuinely generous and tremendously kind.
We hope for more like them.
Looking forward to working with you in the future.
