Hauoli Maka Hiki Hou Ka Kou!

Hope you all had a great time greeting the New Year. Here’s hoping to a better one then last . . . yes, I know . . .  but, we can hope . . .

What better way to start off the New Year than a Kanikapila at the Campbell Hall in Sausalito? Mahalo Nui Loa to Rev. Chip and his congregation for opening their doors to the UFOhana once again. We will be meeting at our usual time of 6:30 pm running till 9ish. BYPotLuck, BYBeverage, BYOGear (music stands and book lights) and BYAloha.

Speaking of New Year, here are images of last Friday’s B & W Night Kanikapila. Click below for album access.

Mahalo to all that participated and “dressed up” for this fun event!

This Saturday’s Kanikapila will be held as the UFOHQ. Here are images from last week’s Kanikapila . . .

And as is if that wasn’t enough . . . here are images from our Gig at the California Academy of Sciences on January 1st.

Mahalo Nui to all that participated (especially to my volunteer stage hands, Melann, Ted, Tony, and Wikio) and to Nicolette, of the CAS, for inviting us and for making us feel so at home. Also, Mahalo to Lynnette for bringing her haumana (students), new and past, always a treat and joy having the Keiki playing with the UFOhana.

UKeKU

a circle of birds above,

Have a great week everyone! See you soon . . .

Aloha everyone,

Hang in there everyone, we’re almost through the Holidays. One more night and afternoon of festivities at the UFOHQ this Friday and Saturday and we’re good for the year!

Friday is our New Year’s Eve of the Eve of the Eve (?) party. So we’re thinking how about a Black and White “Hawaiian Style” Dress up Theme? Hmmm, I wonder if they make Tuxedo Aloha Shirts?

Friday is at the UFOHQ at our usual run time of 7p-10p. Fancy Kind Potluck (though it’s always been pretty fancy with this group), BYOMusicStands, and BMAloha (BringMoreAloha). Btw, if you want to reserve a chair just text me at 415-300-7804, please be sure to include your First and Last Name in the text, just so I don’t make a mistake with your Name Placard. Please gives is us time to setup, and avoid showing up earlier than 6:45 pm. It makes things a little more frantic with extra people around while I’m setting up. Mahalo.

We’ll have our usual Saturday Kanikapila, 2p -4p, BYOSnacks&Bev. Again RSVP if you want me to save a seat for you.

Click below for albums of last week’s events.

Here’s Friday’s Ugly Sweater and or Favorite PJs NIght. Mahalo to all that were such good sports and wore their fancy gear and setup(s). There were so many creative outfits that we may need to start a Contest!

Then there was Saturday’s Kanikapila, not as crazy but just as spirited.

Btw, for those of you interested in performing at the California Academy of Sciences, January 1st. We have two sets 12pm and 2pm. We’ll be performing from our GIG BOOK so please bring that, your music stands and Ukulele. Please email me ASAP at Kaleikoa@piko.ws or text me at 415-300-7804. I misplaced my list and they are asking for a roster this year. Space is limited and I need a list by Friday.  So first come first strum…

UkEkU
Heartbeats, songs, and strums,
Hula carving graceful lines,
Time marked in laughter.

Mahalo Nui Loa Ka Kou!
