041818: We’re at the UFOHQ this Friday & Saturday!

BOT:

Aloha Ahi Ahi Ka Kou,

Hope you’re all recovering the the dreaded Inkumus-Taxitis syndrome. Just barely made the deadline this year due to IRS server crashes, thankfully Nohea rescued me from another round of late fees. I was thinking the crashes were probably the Russki’s stealing our info . . . again! If only they would pay my bills too . . . oh well, one more year’s club membership paid to Trumpland.

So this Friday we get to cruise at the UFOHQ. Meeting at our usual time of 7pm-10pm, BYOPotLuck  for ʻAina ahiahi (Dinner), BYOMusicGear, and BYExtraAloha ‘cuz we can all use some right now!

Especially Kaua’i, yes that is Bison on the beach, a survivor of the big storm that blew through the islands, damaging homes, closing down roads, etc. Last time Iniki blew through it was Chickens that got set free! What’s next?

Home, Home on da beach, where the Bison and Chicken play?

After seeing all the destruction one has to ask, “Where is the Federal Government?” Oh yeah, Hawaii’s a Sanctuary State . . .  anyway, it seems the Aloha Spirit has kicked in and total strangers are lending their Kōkua, please send your good thoughts and mana out their way . . .

Saturday we are also gathering at the UFOHQ, 2p-4p. BYOB&S (Beverage & Snacks), BYOGear, etc.

Please text me at 4153007804 to RSVP or for directions to the UFOHQ.

Mahalo to all that made last week’s Saturday Kanikapila such a fun one. I believe it was the Bestest Mista Sancho Lee role playing yet. Melann played a VERY convincing Ms. Momi Lomi Lomi, definitely “Got Pleaty Experience!”

We even had Mista Elvis Kamakawiwo’ole Bailey pay us a visit . . . “ova da Rainbow, there’s fried peanut butta papaya sandwiches . . . Some wea!”

BOT:

Aloha Everyone,

Second Friday of the Month coming up this week, which means we’ll be meeting at the Elks this Friday. Start time 7:30pm (a little later because we’ll be on the heels of an Elks Event), End Time 9:30pm-ish. I understand that Joe and his Kaukau Krew will be providing a local ‘kine dinner that night as well. Mahalo to Joe and the Elks for once again, being such gracious hosts. Mahalo to Reverend Chip for hosting us last Friday.

This Saturday we’re gathering at the UFOHQ at our usually flight time of 2p-4p. BYOBS (beverages and snacks), BYOUkulele (yeah, it does happen sometimes) and BYAloha to share with your fellow Ukulele Pilots.

On a sad note, please send your heartfelt Aloha and healing Mana to Robin, Joe and their ‘Ohana. Frank Sembenini, Robin’s Father, passed on a couple weeks while ago. That’s Frank below with Robin at one of our Elks Kanikapila.

I’m told that Uncle Sembenini served in Hawaii during the war, fell in love with a local girl and never left until he passed on at 94 years old. Loved music and jamming with the Keiki at the Local Park. Mahalo Robin for sharing your father with us, we are so honored to have known him.

We’ll miss you Uncle Frank . . . Me Ke Aloha Pumehana, Aloha Oe.
