I've had a few days back home and finally feeling normal again. When I got here I really thought I couldn't hear the "H" song for a long, long time.

I would like to say despite all, everyone obviously had a great time, including myself. I was able to reflect on the event so much more with the assistance of James Teitelbaum last night at Trader Vic's. We started with everyone on Thursday night, a smaller crowd on Friday and then the core crowd on Saturday. If more of those that went to shelters were able to come, they would've been there as we saw them on Sunday and Monday night.

I appreciate everyone pulling together and supporting us. I want to thank everyone for their comments and offerrings of donations as I moved through the crowd on Friday night. Everyone really got into the spirit that always surrounds Hukilau and made that night very special. I cried several times of all the love in the room.

Our performers stuck it out and gave such a great show! Our vendors went through so much and really brought out their treasures!

Thanks to everyone for the calls and emails since my return. It's great to hear from all of you.

Personally, I can't wait until next year!!!!
