Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival
"shakuhachi-N-SURF" TAKE 2
HAWAII SHAKUHACHI FESTIVAL 09 - 12 NOV 2006
The second Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival - "shakuhachi-n-Surf" TAKE 2 will be held 9-12 November 2006.
Location: Once again HSF06 will be held in The Music Departmentof the University of Hawaii, in Honolulu. The event will be run along the lines of the first Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival, held in 2004, with a few changes and improvements. It will follow the basic structure of ASF06(Australian Shakuhachi Festival 2006) (see www.shakuhachi.org.au).
Accommodation has been secured at East-West Center, located a short walk from the Music Department on the beautiful UH campus. As a result, accommodation costs will be much cheaper than a typical Waikiki hotel. Book early as this accommodation is limited.
More information about costs, schedule, etc. will be posted soon; registration should be around US$250. Tentative bookings can be made through Patricia: <patricia@rileylee.net>
Surfing can be arranged, waves permitting, at nearby Waikiki beach.
Best regards, Riley Lee

Re: Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival
Riley Lee,
I am really looking forward to this. Due to my new found interest in the Shakuhachi and have been doing a lot of research lately to familiarize myself with this instrument. I am definitely an "Absolute Beginner" and can't wait to get the ball rolling. I live in Waikiki, so this won't be a big commute for me. My friend, a local Jr High School teacher, is also very interested in attending. I will keep bugging him to sign up.
Thanks for putting this together,
Sam

Wow! this sounds exciting. I would really like to attend, though I will have to see if finances will permit.

Re: Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival
This is an opportunity NOT to be missed:
It's very inexpensive, AND you get to work with Riley, who is a fine teacher...
...and pretty good company to boot. 
Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?

Re: Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival
Is there a deadline for registration? I would dearly love to attend, but it may be mid October before I can have the money to commit to registration, room and airfare. I have wanted to attend a shakuhachi festival for years now, but have never been able to afford either the money nor the time, this year I want to make it happen.

Re: Hawaii Shakuhachi Festival
Damon,
First: Did you go to the link to the announcement of the festival at Riley's website?
Here's the link again:
www.rileylee.net/hsf06.htm
Second: Here is a direct link to download a PDF file which has more info, as well a being a registration form:
http://www.rileylee.net/hawaii/HSF6_rego.pdf
I didn't see anything regarding a deadline; you should be able to find out about that by sending an email
to Riley's wife Patricia at patricia@rileylee.net. [If you wish, you can say Ed sent you.]
Some of the very best players/teachers in the world will be there: Riley Lee, Teruo Furuya, Kaoru Kakizakai,
Kazushi Matama, and Chris Blasdel.
