David,
When are the materials due? Also Where can I find the rep? There was no link on the website.

Assuming food stamps, a bicycle, and no air conditioning, is that enough to pay the rent for a room with a bed and a sink in Honolulu?

bloke " ' not really asking in a particularly sarcastic manner..."

I'm answering the non-sarcastic question. It looks like Hawaii is a very expensive place to live. I am not applying for this job so I've only spent a minute or two researching this on the web. It seems to me that you can afford to live there on $43,000/year (that's what I calculated the salary at - correct me if I'm wrong). You could even have air conditioning. You're not going to live the high life, but you wouldn't starve and you could probably even afford cable. This is all assuming that the salary is supporting ONE person. Anyone interested in this job should do their own financial research and keep in mind the costs of visiting the mainland (ie auditions).

I hear it's a nice place to be homeless. One can just sleep on the beach and watch the welfare checks come in.

You don't need air conditioning in Hawaii, for the most part.

Living in Hawaii on $43k would call for a change of lifestyle for most mainland residents. Housing would be the biggest shock, it would be a significant downgrade. Cars are expensive, food is expensive, going to visit relatives is really expensive.

Almost everything is more expensive in Hawaii, it all has to be cargoed in.

why do you do that?
If this were a Morse code board I could see why you would, but it's a tuba board?

ANYHOW, here is the translation:

ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THEY HAVE A REASONABLE CHANCE OF BEING OFFERED THIS JOB HAD BETTER FIRST LEARN WHAT "HAOLE" MEANS.

Haole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haole, in the Hawaiian language, means "foreign" or "foreigner"; it can be used in reference to people, plants, and animals. It is also used in Hawaiian Pidgin as a term meaning "white" or "Caucasian." Haole is a highly charged word and can be used descriptively or derisively.
In Hawaiian Pidgin, local is usually considered the opposite of haole. Local is an omnibus term for any non-white raised in Hawaiʻi, encompassing Hawaiians, part-Hawaiians, Japanese, Japanese-Hawaiians, Chinese, Chinese-Hawaiians, etc. The antonymy reflects a long history of race and class conflict in the Hawaiian islands, in which the upper class (plantation and business owners, professionals) tended to be haole and the working class comprised Hawaiians and primarily non-white immigrants. Hence the descendants of Portuguese imported for plantation work are usually considered local, even though in other parts of the United States they would be considered "white".
Some people say that it makes sense to speak of local haoles -- haoles who have grown up in HawaiÊ»i and speak Pidgin. Others would say that the term 'local haole' is nonsense. Another term used is kamaÊ»Ä
