Legendary Sexy Liberal Willie Nelson was going to be in the audience for Stephanie Millers Sexy Liberal Comedy Tour at the Pantages on July 28th, but, his son, Lukas Nelson and his band ‘Promise of the Real’ are performing that night at the Roxy, so, sadly he wont be able to make it (it’s probably the only reason to miss a Sexy Liberal show!)

While Willie won’t be there, you can be there and in his seats! We are auctioning off his two pairs of prime orchestra seats to the hottest comedy show of the year, with the proceeds going to a great charity, The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance. These seats include VIP access to the meet and greet with Stephanie, John and Hal post show!

Opening bid is $200, and the two highest bids will win this very special package (each winner will received 2 tickets) Help a great charity and be part of the Sexy Liberal movement!

Going for $200.00

KAHULUI – The fuel at Pacific Biodiesel’s retail pump in Kahului is now sold as BioWillie Biodiesel, in honor of Maui resident and seven-time Grammy award winner Willie Nelson.

The branding is the brainchild of Nelson, a world-known county music superstar and founding member of the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance.

Nelson and wife, Annie, bought their first diesel car in 2003 and filled up at Pacific Biodiesel. The pump is at 40 Hobron Ave. in Kahului and is open 24 hours a day.

The BioWillie brand specifies that the fuel must meet or exceed standards for biodiesel established by the American Society of Testing and Materials and feedstock sources are known and can be confirmed as meeting the best practices described by the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance. The brand also must be produced in America, from American feedstock, and used in America.

Beginning on April 30, Willie Nelson’s birthday, the fuel at Pacific Biodiesel’s retail pump on Maui is being sold as the brand named BioWillie Biodiesel.

The branding is the brainchild of superstar Willie Nelson, a Maui resident whose involvement in, and support of, community-based biodiesel production began in the islands when his wife Annie bought their first diesel car in 2003 and filled up at Pacific Biodiesel. The Maui biodiesel fuel pump, located at 40 Hobron Avenue in Kahului, is open 24 hours a day.

Yesterday, biodiesel customers received a free BioWillie bumper sticker and were entered in a drawing to win a Pacific Biodiesel cap autographed by Willie Nelson himself. Also, Willie’s Maui fans were encouraged to stop by and record a birthday wish to the superstar that will be compiled and posted on YouTube.

Although there had been a previous attempt to use the brand several years ago, a new agreement with Pacific Biodiesel focuses on the fuel quality as well as sustainability aspects. The BioWillie brand specifies that the fuel must meet or exceed standards for biodiesel established by the American Society of Testing and Materials, and feedstock sources are known and can be confirmed as meeting the best practices described by the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance.

In addition, BioWillie Biodiesel must be produced in America, from American feedstock, and used in America within a reasonable region.

Willie Nelson is a founding member of the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance (SBA) and his advocacy for locally produced biodiesel is documented in the film Revolution Green, narrated by actor Woody Harrelson, another Maui resident who drives on biodiesel.

Willie’s mainland tour buses run on biodiesel whenever possible, sourced by the SBA to make sure their feedstock origins are sustainable.

Pacific Biodiesel to sell “BioWillie Biodiesel” in Hawaii

Friday, April 27th, 2012

Here’s another way to keep Willie Nelson on your mind in Hawaii especially when you’re on the road again.

Starting Monday, which happens to be Nelson’s birthday, Maui-based Pacific Biodiesel will sell “BioWillie Biodiesel” at its retail pump at 40 Hobron Ave. in Kahului. It will be open to the public 24 hours a day.

It’s not a huge surprise, considering that Nelson lives on Maui and a big proponent of biodiesel since 2003, when his wife, Annie, purchased a diesel car and filled it up at Pacific Biodiesel.

Although this branding strategy was attempted several years ago, a new agreement with Pacific Biodiesel will focus on the quality of the fuel as well as sustainability.

The BioWillie brand requires fuel meeting or exceeding standards for biodiesel that are established by the American Society of Testing and Materials.

Additionally, feedstock sources must be confirmed as meeting the best practices described by the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance, of which Nelson is a founding member.

BioWillie also must be produced in the United States, from American feedstock and used in America within a reasonable region.
