One of our UFOhana Pilots, Pauline, is current on an Away Mission to her hometown of Liverpool. I asked her to send us photos of her and her Ukulele at various locations while back home. Click below to access the album which I’ll be be updating as her photo reports arrive. She’s beaming us Tricorder Scans (photos) with GPS Coordinates (imbedded in the photos) which Picasa will display in a map (right side) while viewing the online images (provided you’ve logged into your own Google Account). There’s also an option to view the Album in Google Earth which will allow you to tour (virtually) where she’s been . . . Beam Me Up Scotty! Have a great time Pauline but don’t forget to come back now!

Aloha UFOhana,

We’re back at the UFO HQ this Friday, 7p-10p, BYPotluck (ponoʻai), BYOGear (music stands, maybe a folding chair) and always, BYAloha (to share with your ‘Ohana). Mahalo to the  Pilots from last Friday and Saturday for making the Kanikapila so much Leʻaleʻa (fun) and ʻono loa (very delicious)!

Saturday Kanikapila will be at the Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club, 2p-4p, BYOGear (Music Stands), BYD (Bring Your Donation of $5 for the Woman’s Club to help keep the doors open), and of course, BYAloha, you all know what that’s for. Mahalo once again to Betty Ann Bruno, her Halau, Hula Mai and the SVWC for hosting us at their wonderful venue. and for making Sonoma second home for the UFOhana Ukulele Pilots.

Btw, I found out last night that we have a slot, July 3rd, 2p-2:45p, at the County Fair!!!!!!! Yikes! Mahalo to Gabriella, Marion and Charlie for inviting us back! The Fair Theme this year is “What A Ride”, celebrating 75 Years of innovative County Fairs. Hmmm, I think we have a few “Riding” Songs we can feature at this event, Mustang Sally, Holo Holo Ka’a (say isn’t this a Kane Hula?), just to name a few . . .  stay tuned for more!
