ABOUT THE TEAM
ORGANIZERS / HOSTS / NEIGHBORHOOD:
"HHL" is the brainchild of Jason Miller from 808shows / Hawaiian Express Records / Sailor Jerry Festival, and was launched after a chat online with friends.
Jason's grandfather, Jim Farish (R.I.P.) was also an inspiration... since some of Jim's fondest memories came from his 6 months stationed on Oahu... during his return from a stint in China with the United States Marine Corps. The man was also a race car driver, had a successful rodeo career, got kicked out of the famed Mustang Ranch in Nevada, shot at his own foot to kill a rattle snake, and was both a joker and a notorious flirt... all with a heart of gold. There is little doubt that he was down in Chinatown getting his four shots of booze (and more) on many occasions. That was the thing to do back in the day and while the activities have changed, many of the buildings remain, and we can still capture the spirit of gathering together and having a good time like those before us.
