[SK8PARK FUNDRAISER] You know, kids are funny people. They look so much like us—only, you know, younger—and they act so much like… well… like we did before we finally got things like “freedom” and “independence” and “6.65 percent mortgage rates.” Anyway, the local artists-run Mana Collective—in collaboration with Lahaina Skate Co. and hosted by Paia Youth & Cultural Center—thinks the kids oughta skate. And dammit if they don’t deserve a place to do it! So they’re organizing this here event in order to raise funds for the construction of a West Maui skate park, as well as celebrate Cinco de Mayo and Kodomo No Hi, the Japanese Children’s Day. There’ll be a SK8 competition, interactive graffiti wall, break dancing, firedancing, ono grinds provided by chef Chris L, live music, video and film shorts, a fashion show, and more DJ’s than you can shake a baseplate at, including Max, Sal, Toben, Durty, Nutmeg, Mike Rozak and John Carmichael. Cover: $10 at door, or $5 w/flyer. Stonewave SK8 Park at Paia Youth & Cultural Center is located at 28 Hana Hwy. For more info call 298-TARD. [SAMANTHA CAMPOS]
