Hauoli Maka Hiki Hou UFOhana!

Well, we just had our last Vanikapila of 2023 and now about to have our first Vanikapila of 2024.

But before that, we have our performance at the California Academy of Sciences on the 1.1.2024. For those of you attending please read the note from our host, Patrick Sysiong, below.

Hi Del,

I just wanted to give you a slight update prior to your performance on Monday.

-Hopefully we have enough parking space for your group, but there is always parking around the park if we run out of space. We have been seeing large attendance at the academy, and there can be a bit of delay getting into the park later in the morning. So please be prepared for park traffic.

-We have a slight update to our check-in process. Both performers/chaperones and guests are required to check in with our Envoy system, but only performers are required to sign the participant waiver.

If you have any questions, please let me know! Looking forward to seeing your group on Monday!

Best,

Patrick

So do please keep in mind that our first performance is at 12pm and the last at 2pm. Remember to bring a music stand and your CAS Flight Manual. I’ll bring a few copies for those who don’t have tablets or printers. Keep in mind that space is limited on stage so do consider sharing a music stand when/if possible. Wear colorful aloha attire and bring lots of extra Aloha so we can Strum In The New Year.

terra slowly tilts,
as we drift through space and time,
days growing longer.

Stay warm and dry out there, hope to see you folks next week!

Last Vanikapila of the year coming up folks! But before that . . .

From Nohea and Myself, a very fond and heartfelt Mele Kalikimaka the best UFOhana this side of the Universe!

Mahalo to those that attended last night, for making it so festive and filling that cold lanai with such warm Aloha. Mahalo to our Cyber O’hana for adding their positive likes to the online event and to Mary Tiger for her hulas and for sharing her Aloha with us, all the way from O’ahu and to Pauline for helping with the decorations and heavy lifting. And, of course, to my beloved Nohea for herding the cats, keeping me on track and all the wonderful photos.

Sorry, but registration for that event is closed.

night descends quickly,
flashing colors pierce the cold,
Ukulele Night.

Once again, mahalo nui loa to the best UFOhana for a year filled with joy and laughter. We hope start of the New Year with more of the same.
