ohnotherobot Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Today, as it began to blizzard, I decided to buy a plane ticket to Hawaii for three weeks, just for the fuck of it. Does anyone have any info on record stores there (Oahu, Maui or the Big Island) or of any bands or shows or anything interesting someone should keep an eye out for? Any local beers that are good/bad/ugly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Damn Im jealous. I love Hawaii. You just missed NOFX. I saw that they just played a couple shows on Oahu within the last couple days. That Pipeline Cafe in, I think, Honolulu is where all the bands play when they tour over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent one of those mo-peds over on Oahu in Waikiki or Honolulu and cruise around. Those things are a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiieric Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I live on the Big Island no record stores here but I do know a lot about the local beer and I am a home brewer. Let me know when you will be here. ( I live pretty close to the Lava flows ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've searched for record stores on Oahu (been there 4 times in the past year for work), and have always come up short. I'm not sure any exist. As for beers, I like the Kona Brewing Co. beers, I wanna say the one I like is called Longboard. Also, you gotta get some Kahlua pig at L & L or Bob's.

kouka Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 http://comrademotopu.com/hawaiirelatedtop.htm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but cool nonetheless.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnotherobot Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Awesome everyone... thanks much for your help. Obviously I am going to be spending most of my time driving mopeds (boyhood dream!), swimming with dolphins and whatnot. But, as a collector, I just can't help but look out for record stores/records. This is why there needs to be a website like deadformat, except instead of pressing info you upload info about record stores and can do searches by country/states, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vittywatt Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 just have a long layover in LA or San Fran and visit amoeba lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnotherobot Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 I thought about that honestly. But it would have cost an extra $400. And $700 round-trip from the middle of Canada to Hawaii is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 There's Jelly's in Oahu. They have some vinyl but mostly CDs and books (mind you this was back in 2007 so I don't know if its changed) On Maui there's a cool little shop called Requests. Again, mostly CDs but they have a handful of vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentoage Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 what are you planning to do for accommodations while you are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnotherobot Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 what are you planning to do for accommodations while you are there? Have a cheap hotel for the first few days in Honolulu, after that, on a different island, possibly renting a car and sleeping in it. The Big Island looks like it has some hilarious hippy type places to crash for cheap. Found something on Craig's List where you can sleep in a VW van for $50. Ha.

kouka Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 i believe it's legal to camp on the beaches there, you should totally do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanehennessey Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I haven't been to Maui or Honolulu in a long time but you should try and go to Kaua'i. It's by far the most beautiful island although it's a lot more remote. I spent a week there this summer and a friend of mine lives on the island. It was one of the best things I've ever done. And for cheap places to stay, look on www.hostelworld.com for hostels. They can't be that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
