Smokin Menehunes at KONA (formerly SAM'S) 6-15-2008

This just in! Hot off the Bong Press! The Smokin Menehunes will be performing at KONA in Huntington Beach, CA on Sunday, June 15. KONA is the new name for the Tiki Temple formerly known as SAM's or SAM'S Seafood. The new owners are very interested in keeping the "Tiki" theme alive. Let's show them our TC support and stop by for some good music and atmosphere and of course, grog and pupus!

Kona (Sam's Seafood)
16278 South Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA, 92649
(562) 592-1321

"If you're looking for a South Pacific island escape, KONA is your place. Formerly, Sam's Seafood had been a landmark of Sunset Beach with its swordfish sign and large A-frame entryway. Under new ownership, KONA provides a fun Polynesian atmosphere. Parking isn't a problem in their very large lot. They also have two large themed multipurpose rooms for any occasion or luau."

Here Hear !!! I agree on all counts, except for the Dancing with Doug Horne part...I've yet to try that....

Break a leg guys, I'll still be in Florida

Everyone else who isn't going to Hukilau, Go to this !

Sounds like a great time. Are they playing during the "Brunch" or later in the afternoon/evening. I'd ask Bong, but he's banned. Of course, the Menehunes have never been so popular so it is probably a good thing.

Just a little update:

I just spoke to Bong, he said that they are playing in the evening, starting at 7pm.

Sorry, didn't mean to crash the Menehunes Thread....Everyone needs to check them out on the 15th for sure.

Is it this Sunday yet?
I'm really looking forward to seeing the Menehunes again at Sa----, I mean Kona. I guess I need to say, I'm looking forward to seeing the Menehunes again for the first time at Kona. I hope this is the start of a new tradition.

Looks like I'll be flying solo since the wife will be out of town AGAIN. See ya Sunday.

I'm so there,
See all of you then.

How many sets are you guys planning on doing?

We usually play about two sets.
I realize this is Father's day, but it might be (like BTD said) an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone God.
Bring your parents! As has often been said about our band, "this is your grandfather's music", a sentiment I agree with! The older folks might really like it!
We intend to play here often, and in fact, are doing a private party there the night before...if you happen to wander in on Saturday.....

Looking forward to a nice, relaxing end to my Father's Day.

Hope to see a lot of the TCers there in the bar @ 7pm.

well was that a nice intimate setting or what?

I guess all of so cal is at Hukilau.

great gig guys, good to see Riptide and
Betty Bleu, and Polynesian Pam there too.

Next Sun. at Busters in LB right?
4 pm?
