Thanks everyone for the amazing weekend at Hukilau...
I have to say that it's the first time that I've ever had an event dedicated to me... (Thanks Christie)

I also would like to say thanks to all of the performers/lecturers, volunteers, and attendees... Oh also the maintenance guys at The Mai Kai...

I was constantly blown away by almost everyone this year...
From The Martian Denny Orchestra playing a show without a PA or sound guy (and kicking ass doing it), to Angie Pontani bringing on the rain showers with her Blaze Starr bongo routine, to Exotik a-go-go holding court at The Mai Kai for two sets (great musicians... as well as great guys...), King Kukulele for keeping us grounded... and for keeping the natives un-restless... Pablus for the Rum Barrel song and general all around awesome mahalo-ness (Let's do this again in St Petersburg on June 10th)... and Dan Cunningham for waiting in the wings to perform when the rains came in... (One of the best Elvis shows that I have seen... this guy has a great voice :) )
Sven, Jeff, Swanky, and Paul for top notch lectures...
Kern at The Mai Kai for all of the help... and rum...
Woody Compton and Kim Harris for all of their help... (In case you didn't know, Woody built the drum kit that we used this year... Absolutely amazing!!)

OK... I'm sure that I am forgetting something...
Here's a few of the pictures that I took over the weekend...

Cheers!
