January 10, 2008 S.O.J.A
Saturday (Jan. 12) 4 p.m., Lahaina Civic Center
[CONCERT] Soldiers of Jah Army... Oh man, that's a cool name. I mean, the acronym is pretty frickin' clever, too (S.O.J.A… sojah, get it?). Do you think they planned it that way? And they have dreads! I wish I had dreads. S.O.J.A. is rooted in reggae, but not limited to it. They hail from the same music scene as Minor Threat, Trouble Funk and Bad Brains; that's Washington D.C., ya'll. S.O.J.A will be sharing the stage with Inna Vision, Mama Roots Run Deep featuring Sister Ash (who recently opened for Ooklah the Moc), Versatile and DJ Addamon. And Spence Jah from 103.3 will emcee the whole thing. It's an all-ages event, but there will be a beer garden for those lucky to be 21 and over. If you're still in rager mode, after the concert Hard Rock in Lahaina will host an after party. Tickets: $25 in advance, $35 at the door. For ticket sale locations visit www.naturalmysticproductions.com. Tickets are also sold online at www.inhousetickets.com. [YNEZ TONGSON]
Ready for Landing
Thursday (Jan 10) 7:30 p.m., Castle Theater, MACC
[MUSIC] Look out laid-back Maui, the rockabilly blues sounds of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen are crash landing onto the local music scene, complete with cowboy hats and big belt buckles. George "The Commander" Frayne heads up this country rock band, who grazed the music charts with the 1971 album Lost in the Ozone and their hit song "Hot Rod Lincoln," but I think the song "I'm Down to Stems and Seeds Again" will hit the mark with Maui audiences. Dust off those spurs and boots for a taste of history and the essence of American roots music. Seriously, when was the last time you rockabillied on this rock? Tickets: $45, $40, $35.

Finger Licken' Good
Saturday (Jan. 12) 7:30 p.m. at Castle Theater, MACC
Speaking as a female, it's really easy to fall in love with someone's hands. There are so many things that hands can do, especially if they're strong, swift and talented. And trust me, Jake Shimabukuro's hands are plenty talented. The way he handles his 'uke is sure to have some of the girls in the audience swooning—and hey, probably some of the guys, too. And here, Shimabukuro will be accompanied by the Maui Pops Orchestra. If I mention that I play the flute, will it get me closer to those hands? Tickets: $45, $35, $10.

Masochistic Tendencies?
Sunday (Jan. 13) 15 k at 6:50 a.m. at Napili Park, 5k at 7:50 a.m. at Hanakao'o Beach Park, West Maui
One of my New Year Resolutions is to be able to run a five-minute mile. This means that a 15-kilometer run should take about 47 minutes. And a five-kilometer run should take about 16 minutes. Do you know what else I could do in about 47 minutes? Watch two episodes of anime on You Tube. I could probably even eat a sandwich while concentrating on the subtitles. I hear that another popular option, at 6:50 a.m. on a Sunday, is to sleep. Huh. All of a sudden, 2008 is starting to look a lot like 2007. Kids, don't let this happen to you. Get out your running shoes and get out there. Free. For more info call 344-3651. [YT]
Skinny New Year
Tuesday (Jan. 15) 7 p.m. at the Cameron Center Auditorium, Wailuku
Did you promise yourself that you would lose weight in 2008? Well, Dr. Terry Shintani can show you how. He's authored books such as Hawai`i Diet, Dr. Shintani's Eat More, Weigh Less and Foods That Cause Weight Loss. But, if you're reading Maui Time, you're probably a very healthy, ridiculously good-looking individual. You should attend this workshop as an example to the rest of us. Seriously. Free. For more info call 298-8544. [YT]
