Whew! Anybody get the number of that truck that barreled through here this past Saturday Night?

What a great EOMOK that was! Mahalo Nui Loa to all of you that made it such a Fun, Delicious, Joyous, Magical and SAFE night for all involved.

One Beeeg Tanx Eh! To Brudda Ken for sharing his Aloha and talent with us and to Carolyn for wrangling him to our Kani! I have never heard us sound so good in Teach Your Children, with Ken’s steel backing us up it sounded like the real deal!

Mahalo to the team of people that help with Food and Beverage Service, KP Duty, and shutting down the Vendola Café, in fact here’s two of our Senior FA Team members below . . .

A Special Mahalo Nui Loa to Pauline for all her assistance with setting up, take down and for taking one for the team on her beautiful proboscis! Hope you’re feeling better Pauline, e mālama pono.

Don, hope you got some rest in from your Arizona flight. We were amazed you made if from the Airport so quickly! Mahalo to you and Steve for KP duty. I don’t think I would have survived the night doing dishes . . .

Finally, Mahalo to Marion for talking to The Boss about giving us some good evening weather.
