I meant to post this last weekend, but I actually went to Iona’s “Paint by Numbers” performance that Ryan posted about. I took the first photo before anyone said photography wasn’t allowed. I took the second one because the first one would have been lonely.

I have so much to say about the performance, except I can’t. It’s like…it was so cool, but you had to have been there. The Quadraphonix are always interesting. They play with a chello, guitar, drums and a set of congas. (Actually, I’ve seen them use an electric chello – WTF? Didn’t know they had those…)

The dancers were great. Let’s just say I have never wanted to play with paint so bad in my life. I mean serious, wreck-my-house kind of playing with paint. I’m so glad my son wasn’t around to see this or Something Bad Would Have Happened When We Got Home.

I don’t think young people patronize the arts enough in Hawaii. I wish they did. Next weekend is KTUH’s banquet (Mitchell…). Maybe I can convince some of the active deejays to hook it up more with their listeners.
