The Record Company was born out of a late-night hang in 2011, when Chris Vos (vocals, guitar), Alex Stiff (bass, backing vocals), and Marc Cazorla (drums, backing vocals) spun classic blues records like John Lee Hooker’s Hooker ’N Heat and swapped stories of their favorite concerts (Iggy Pop & The Stooges, among them). Energized by the evening, the three musicians reconvened the next day for a jam session at Stiff’s Los Feliz home. Before long, his living room would become the band’s epicenter as they wrote songs, performed for friends, and, eventually, recorded and mixed their debut album, "Give It Back to You."

Blending the soul of Delta blues with the power of classic rock and roll, the trio recorded much of the album live, giving songs like“Off the Ground,” “Rita Mae Young,” and “On the Move” a raw, immediate feel. They also incorporated slideguitar, pedal steel, piano, and harmonica, showcasing both their range and reverence for tradition while infusing it with modern energy.

Bridge tournament play with Hawaiian hospitality! This three day event offers residents and visitors a chance to compete in an American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) sanctioned event on the island of Kauai. This is an annual competition and all ACBL members or guest members are welcome.

This exhibition takes the viewer on a journey through the diverse regions of the Philippines featuring centerpieces of Filipino attire, from the southern Muslim and Indigenous communities in Mindanao, to the Indigenous communities in the northern Luzon region, to the predominantly Roman Catholic central Visayan Islands, to the national dress associated with Manila.

Honoring the deep connection between Hawai'i and the Philippines, a display of historical photographs shares the story of the Sakada, the first 15 Filipinos who immigrated to Hilo, Hawai'i, as labor workers in 1906.

January 15 Free Brown Bag Talk on “Robert Rules! Your Procedural Pathway to Better Board Meetings”

The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center will host a free talk on January 15th as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom.

This month’s speaker is Jon Henricks on the topic “Robert Rules! Your Procedural Pathway to Better Board Meetings.”

“It’s not good enough to just survive board meetings. We can do better,” says Henricks. “Let’s explore how the basic fundamentals of Robert’s Rules of Order will simplify and streamline your board meetings, rather than bog them down in arcane and stuffy procedure.”

Join us for a lively and interactive discussion that will demonstrate how time-tested procedures will foster structure, efficiency, and dignity in meetings that matter.

Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.

Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
