Hauoli Maka Hiki Hou pau āpau!

Happy New Year Everyone! Our first Kanikapila of the year will be held at the beautiful Campbell Hall this Friday. Mahalo Nui to Reverend Chip for opening the doors to us once again. What a great way to start the New Year. Run time is 6:30p to 9:30p. BYPotluck (a main dish or side is appreciated), BYOGear, and always, BYAloha.

This Saturday, we’ll be meeting at the Elks Lodge in San Rafael, dining room area for our Kanikapila. 2p – 4p. A plate lunch will be available for $10 for those that want to participate in the lunch hour. Oh, and BYOGear. Mahalo to the Elks for hosting us!

I want to send a major Mahalo Nui to those that helped make the Saturday gig at the California Academy of Sciences such a success. Click below for images, please feel free to upload to the online album if you have photos to contribute. Lily, our wrangler at the CAS, was quite impressed and hoped to see us again this year . . .

Btw, Tom Barr is missing a table top music stand from the CAS gig. Did anybody find one?

A measure of life,
Another boundary is crossed,
And we move through time.

Take care everyone, we’ll see you soon!

Aloha All,

Sorry if you received a partial post the first time around, clicked on the wrong button.

We’re meeting at the UFOHQ this Friday. Regular runtime of 7p – 10p. BYPotLuck (please bring something other than desserts this time around, we’re really putting on the lbs.) Of course, BYAloha. I’m flying solo this time as Nohea has come down with the dreaded Hula Girl Flu (seems to be mainly UFO Hula Maidens coming down with the malady), so I can sure us the help with Galley Duties and such, Mahalo in advance.

Saturday, the 31st, Kanikapila will be moved to the California Academy of Sciences. Yes, you heard right, we’ve been invited to play there. I have a limited number of seats available so please let me know if you’ll be attending.

We’re slated to play two 20 minute sessions. One at 12p and the other at 2pm. Admission is free, enter on the Nancy Pelosi Street side of the building, sign in at the desk. There will be designated parking reserved for those attending, parking is limited so please do car pool. I will provide a Flight Manual and they will provide lunch. Be there by 11am, bring a music stand, or share with someone attending. Please do wear Aloha attire, we want to brighten up the place. Click here to view the first CAS Away Team from 12/26/16. Mahalo to the Hula Mai and our own UFOhana Hula Hui girls for sharing their hula with us that day.

Mahalo to all that participated in our PJ Friday and Saturday events. It surely gave us the warm and fuzzies see all the colorful PJs. Congratulations to Will Chang for his Award Winning PJ of the Year! Click here to view the album. Mahalo, Joe Tate, for bring Jack Schuster (our Guatemalan Entomology Professor) by again. Always such a treat to have him share his Fiddle and Mandolin with us!

Ok, I think that’s all I have for now.

A storm of colors,
Whirling reds, yellows and blues,
Dancers take the stage.

Aloha A Hui Hou!
