And of course, stop by Tonga Hut while yer in town!

I'll be rehearsing for the big show, but I'm usually there before until About 6. Contact Kirby on here.

I'm getting ready to head to the airport for that long, crappy flight home. Once again, the California Ohana treated me like a king. I can't thank you all enough for your hospitality. I'll post more by weeks end, hopefully. I can't wait to come back. Thank you all so much! Mahalo, Rick

BK Big Kahuna Member SoMass Joined: Apr 11, 2007 Posts: 2486	BK Big Kahuna Posted posted on Sun, Jan 8, 2012 9:30 PM Finally, some pics. First stop, Frankie's: More exciting details to follow. I got a new laptop for my birthday, January 9. Damn! I missed being born on Elvis' birthday by 1:17! Anyway, the new computer allows me to download pics from my new camera, so look out, I've been hoarding pics!
BK Big Kahuna Member SoMass Joined: Apr 11, 2007 Posts: 2486	BK Big Kahuna Posted posted on Sun, Jan 15, 2012 8:20 AM Per JOHN-O's recommendation, we had dinner at The Golden Steer. Great Rat-Pack atmosphere, killer steaks & a smokon'-hot hostess. A bit pricey, but worth it. Taco-Bell, In-n-Out & the buffet at The Orleans were getting old. I'll definitely go back. Wednesday morning, we tried to find the Aku Aku moai in Sunset Park, but they were digging the place up & we couldn't seem to locate it. Besides, I had to get to the airport for my flight to L.A. Rumpus Room, here I come!
