The Haole Kats are scheduled to perform two sets both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday the times will be 6pm & 8pm, Sunday will be 4pm & 7pm. Susan has told us that, hopefully, Paul is going to make an appearance sometime over the weekend as well. For those who don't know, he had some major surgery sometime back and it has been a long road to recovery, Susan has had her hands full running back and forth between work and keeping and eye on Paul too. She is very much looking forward to this 30th anniversary and says she is ready to try for 30 more! TTFN

Here are a couple website links, in case you're not familiar with it. It not very far from Chef Shangri-la, either! http://www.restaurant.com/microsite.asp?rid=319949&nv=1&nsa=1 http://www.myspace.com/sandbargrill Can't wait to see you all. Oh yeah, Pablus said he might just have to get up there for it, too. Don't want to promise anything, but it would sure be great if he could make it, and then we'd get to play a few Crazed Mugs tunes with him. Aloha...

Awesome-mega-thanks to the Haole Kats who played a great show and made us feel special. If you guys are up for it, stop over on Tuesday before your show and I'll serve you some Wisconsin brats and Mai Tais in the Leeward Lounge. Or if you'd rather come over on Wednesday, that would be cool too. Then maybe we could jam for a while. Mahalo! My daughter, Josephine, outside of the Chef Shangri-La. Her first Planter's Punch. The Haole Kats!

M MisterMagoo Member My little oasis in the Big City Joined: Sep 11, 2004 Posts: 12	M MisterMagoo Posted posted on Tue, Aug 15, 2006 3:24 PM I have been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post. Just got back home from the road trip I was on, which included a stop at the party on Sunday night. I have never been to Chef Shangrila before, but it was amazing, and I will go back next time I am in Illinois. The food and drinks were good, and the Haole Kats were just as good as I had been told they were. Very nice guys too. It was nice to meet some of the TC-ers and FOM members there. The funniest part of the night was when this guy left his camera and cellphone in the bathroom (I was in there too). Right after he walked out, the phone rang. He came back in, answered the phone with: "can't talk, just dropped off a mai tai, and now I have to get another one", and then walked back (into the bar I guess). Well, maybe you had to be there. Anyway, hope to meet some more of you at other events.

I almost plowed into a bunch of people coming out of the bar when I dashed into - and then out of - and then back into there. Like I always say about drinks: you don't buy them, you rent them. Next time you're in town, say hi.
