120124: No Vanikapila this Saturday

BOT:

Aloha UFOhana,

I forgot that I have a gig this Saturday so I won’t be holding a Kani/Vani-kapila this week, December 7. December 14 we’ll be performing at the Fairfax Holiday Craft Fair. So no Vanikapila that week either.

By the way, for those of you who may have already downloaded our 2024 Winter Flight Manual, I created bookmarks and re-uploaded it. You can download it here.

So, our next Vanikapila will be on Dec. 21. Which is our Annual Christmas Ugly Sweater/PJ/Potluck Night. Click here to register for the event.

We may have an Elks Dinner on the 20th but I’ll need to confirm for that one.

We had a great turn out this past Saturday. Check it out below.

Don’t forget to check our UFOhana Events page for up and coming . . . you know . . . events.

Ok, I’m a little tired from rebuilding our latest rescue Christmas Topiary (see below) so I’m keeping this one short.

Newest member of our front yard Christmas Stable. Rescued from the streets of North San Pedro. Four hours of restringing with 100 feet of LED lights, 100 zip ties, cleaning and polishing. I think we’ll call him Rudy.

glowing silently,
from junk to regal brightness,
ready to give joy.

See you folks on the 14th!

Stay warm, dry and safe out there.

Aloha a hui hou,

112924: Vanikapila 36.34 Update

Aloha All,

I completed our Winter 2024 V1.0 Flight manual. You can download it here.

Also, for those of you looking for some place to be Dec. 31st, Ken Emerson will be playing with the Rowan Brothers at the Trident on New Years Eve.

Sounds like it’ll be a cool party, definitely worth the view!

Join us next year on January 4th for another cool night of Jazzy Rock and Rockin’ Jazz with the Jai Josefs Quartet.

Quartet?

That’s right they were a trio when they were last at Vendola Cafe! Check out the details and register here .

Aloha awakea UFOhana Pilots,

I hope you’ve all been keeping dry and enjoying the breaks between the rains. Thankfully, it’s giving time for those of us with below sea level homes (aka Vendola Cafe) a chance to dry out a little.

Mahalo Nui Loa to those who attended the Marin County Craft Fair event this past Wednesday. Schlepping gear, braving the rain, strong winds, losing your car, barefooted, up a hill, like the guy down below . . . anyway . . . I know we all had a great time and I think they even liked us. You guys are the bestest!

. . . must . . . find . . . car . . .

Here’s an animated drone fly by of the participants. Click here to view the stills.

Great turn out, Mahalo.

a cold empty space,
echoes of warm melodies,
another day gone.

Take care everyone, see you Saturday, stay healthy and warm.

Woa! Popsicle toes!
