Lava Cave on the Big Island
The landscape of the Big Island is so different from what I think most people expect of Hawaii. I marvel at the lava rock and love the local custom of using coral to “write” things on the lava rock on the highway. But this lava cave was something I hadn’t seen, just a cave on the side of the highway that you can walk through. I didn’t walk through because I have been sporting a twisted ankle this whole trip but it was amazing just walking up to the opening. It’s hard to get the perspective here, but the opening is about 12 feet tall!
South of Makena, Maui
Just past Makena, the road gets super narrow and sketchy, but if you drive out a little past where everyone stops, this is what you see.
so.damn.good.

One Big Holiday
Is MMJ one of the best live bands in the music scene right now? Absolutely. Unrelenting with the energy and the aural assault. And never the same show. They also do a great job at mixing up their set lists, so every single time is a diffferent (and magical) experience. My favorites this time around? “Dancefloors”, “Smokin from Shooting” (always. always.), “Phone Went West”, “Holding on to Black Metal” and the EPIC “One Big Holiday”. Will possibly write more about the Hoot in general later. Let me bask in show afterglow for a bit today.

There was a ferris wheel opposite the main stage. So pretty at night.

Zachary Carothers on bass. One of my fave photos from a great weekend of rawk.
If you haven’t listened to the new @Phantogram EP, you are missing out. This track “Don’t Move” is a standout.
