Maui Film Festival Parties
The 2010 Maui Film Festival was incredible with big stars, great movies, and fun parties. This year’s Maui Film Festival had the regular parties with many new faces. The Starry Night Moondance party hosted by Tommy Bahama’s Wailea was a hit! The dance floor was moving like never before. Most of the photos on this page were taken at this event. Another great night event was the Taste of Chocolate at the Four Seasons next to Duo. Here guests enjoyed countless chocolate treats while sipping drinks and mingling. The Taste of Wailea was held again above the Celestial Cinema on the golf course. All of the best Maui restaurants showed up to make their signature dishes. Southern also provided excellent wines for pairing. A new... (more...)
Maui Fires
Maui’s south and west side are drier than the rest of the island, which will often be the catalyst for serious fires. In the recent past, we’ve seen quite a few brush fires flare up in the summer. Some of these are natural, and others are started by arsonists. As you can see in the photo, Maui fires can scorch huge areas in a short period of time. This one is in West Maui close to the Pali (the winding, coastal cliff road from Maalaea Harbor to Lahaina.) Personally, I’ve spent a long night in my car due to a similar fire a few years back. I was driving south from Lahaina, and the roads were completely stopped. The road closure lasted until the next morning around 8am. If you ever find yourself stuck in traffic... (more...)
On The Set with Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman
JUST GO WITH IT with Brooklyn Decker between Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler On the Set with Maui’s Own Megan Edgar: I started off a nervous wreck. I bought dresses. I bought make-up. I bought shoes. I curled my hair. I panicked. I felt sick. I wanted to back out. I couldn’t wait to start. All of a sudden it was 5 PM on March 23rd and everything was happening whether I was ready or not. Hair styled, make-up adjusted, wardrobe checked, and then I was whisked off to the set. What a set it was; the most beautiful luau I’ve ever seen. Smoking volcanoes, Chinese lanterns, Hawaiian gods carved into totem poles, fire dancers, hula, pulled pork and poi. Brilliant stadium lights dimmed by huge white cloths. Small, bright lights...

New Lanai Affordable Housing
The island of Lanai is likely moving into a new phase of housing development. The county has proposed a project for over 400 new homes in a $23 million affordable housing development to be completed over the next 17 years. The housing development would be built over 73 acres behind Lanai High School and the Elementary. Along with the housing, area would be set aside for more empty lots as well as 2 parks and a full community center. The county will be looking to process the project on a fast track set up to allow exemptions from community plan amendments and change-of-zoning processes. Being... (more...)
