Hello from your neighbors on Oahu!

My name is Alicia, and I am an event organizer/producer and community builder here on Oahu. I’ve been working hard creating a community that supports conscious collaborative electronic music and multi-media events here on the island and, so far, have been having pretty good success.

I’m writing because I would like to generate some interest amongst people on the other islands who are also engaged in creating events and communities like what I’m trying to create.

I am currently working on a 3-day event called Future Primitive that will be held August 19-21 at a beautiful, private, and legal outdoor venue on the top of a mountain on the leeward side of Oahu. You can check out the details on the event as well as more about our community at: www.localundergroundvibe.com Most of this site is functional but the parts that are still being built should be complete by the beginning part of July. I also have a tribe on tribe.net which is: oahuluv.tribe.net

The event in August will focus primarily on all-night electronic music, mostly Progressive, Trance and House. During the day on Saturday there will be workshops offered, hiking trails, lounging at the pool and just hanging out and getting to know people better. We will also have a variety of installations and art built by the community. In addition to the electronic music at night, we want to incorporate live and acoustic music during the day and into the early evening. You can come for one night or both, and if you’re interested in really getting more involved by helping us to create the event, you can come from Thursday to Monday. The price for the event is the same regardless, the only difference in price being that the venue charges a small camping fee per night. Food is available on-site, you can camp or stay in a bunkhouse and there are plenty of indoor showers and bathrooms.

Much of our philosophy is based on the Burning Man spirit of No Spectators and community co-creation. Most of what is created at this event is a community effort and we stress that everyone can (and should!) get involved in making the event great. We encourage people to “bring it on” and share their creative energy with the community as a whole.

I would love to open up dialog with organizers/producers/community builders on the other islands. We especially have a need for visual artists of any and all kinds, workshop presenters and community facilitators (ie, people who can really ‘model’ the ‘bring it’ vibe). Let’s talk and collaborate, who knows where it could lead!

Again, my website (still partly under construction) is: www.localundergroundvibe.com
And my tribe is: oahuluv.tribe.net

Much respect and aloha,
Alicia
