oh man... when they used to have the holiday mart theater in kailua, they would have the surfing w/hang gliding w/skateboarding films... the smell of burning rope would permeate the air, once my friend dropped a beer bottle and you could hear it roll all the way down to the front (it went between the seats perfectly), another time my OTHER friend dropped the bottle of 151 and i busted open, man those were the days.

Let's not forget the Civic Auditorium where Handsome Johnny Barran, Ripper Collins, The Missing Link....Ohhhhhh...Yeeeaaaaahh and Mr. Francis used to hang out...as well as being the Roller Dome too.
I remember attending the Battle of the Bands there hosted by KPOI. This was where all the High School Rock Groups would challenge each other. Of course I was just a kid then.

I was googling Chief Billy Whitewolf, he was my favorite wrestler. I just found out recently, he was the Shiek Adnan Al-Kaissie. And let's not forget the Wizard, Curtis "the bull" Iaukea.

I remember one of the skating rinks had a huge spaceship hanging from the ceiling and a Starwars mural painted on the wall.
Ah the Islanders. I remember those days.
Remember those mudbogs and tractor pulls at the stadium.

This is a cool find Todd!
I wish I was that savvy to find such a source.
My older brothers were in a group that played there. The second guy in that picture Randy Ahlo, he & his family has been Porsche owners from way back then. That's a nice pic I need to forward that to my brother, as Randy got my brother into Porsches.
I think that's the first picture I've seen of "Handsome Johnny Barran" without sun glasses. As for the Bull....most people only saw his back...LOL
Thanks for the link!
