Aloha UFOhana,

Can you believe that come this Friday the the UFOhana we would have been strumming together now for 19 years? No wonder my fingers are tired / sore / callused / throbbing / cracked / oh, did I say tired?  But seriously, we sure have created a lot of good memories playing together and hopefully, with help from our higher powers, will continue to generate more as we strum along this journey we’re all on.

We’ll be at the Elks this Friday and Joe is preparing a special meal for us of Pork Adobo, Fish and stir fry. Sounds ono-licious, Mahalo Joe!

Being that this is a special night for the UFOhana, we are asking that you dress in your finest “Hawaiian Bling Bling” aka HBB, we’ll leave the interpretation of that up to you. If you’re in need of HBB inspiration give Nohea a call at 415-572-1175 to schedule a private viewing of her Hawaiian goods.

I’ve posted event details for this week, you can view them here.

Speaking of special, check out some of Lynnette’s amazing Keiki below!

I’m sure many of you remember Bogie’s Cafe, one of the few UFOhana friendly establishments that recently closed. Well, Leslie says they are reopening as “Bogie’s Too” beginning this Thursday. Click below to view their Facebook for details and location . . .

If you’re not busy Friday morning consider dropping in for an early breakfast or maybe later for lunch? Nohea and I will be there with friends for breakfast.

Take care all! Stay dry and stay safe . . .

Aloha UFOhana,

The Rains have returned, it’s wet and windy once again. I hope you’re all fairing well through this latest storm. Let’s hope all this water means we won’t have a drought this year . . . but then again . . .

I just posted this weeks Kanikapila(s) to our events calendar. You can view it HERE. Mahalo nui loa to all of you that participate and make our Kanikapila such a warm and welcoming event.

Speaking of events, we’re scheduling a “road” trip out to Kaua’i, August 1st to the 12th, and inviting all ‘Ohana members to come along. We will be Kanikapila-ing with Reverend Chip’s ‘Ohana for the first part of the trip and spending time up North in Waipa for the second part. There, we will learn about one of the most important food staples of the Hawaiian Culture, Poi, and experience the making of it and the community surrounding this important food. In between all of this we hope to continue Kanikapila in the evenings after returning from our adventures around the Garden Island. Email me at Kaleikoa@piko.ws if you’re interested and want join in on the UFOhana Kaua’i Away Mission. We hope, with the help of Melann and Carolyn, to have enough ‘Ohana interested to secure lodgings at a discount.

Last week Friday we were given a break from the ka ua (rain) and partied more than you shake a, or maybe 4 bamboo, sticks at. Click below to view the images from that night.

Saturday we visited our ‘Ohana at the Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club. What great turn out that was. Mahalo Nui Loa to the SV Wahine for hosting us and to Betty Ann and Hula Mai ‘Ohana for being so welcoming, sharing their Aloha and Hula with us. Click below for the photos. Mahalo to Craig and Nohea for all the fabulous photos.

streams rush to the underground,
winds howl in disdain.
