Tonight it all happens just a short walk from the Shabu Shabu in Little Tokyo.

For those of you who were there the closing night of the Kahiki in Columbus Ohio you saw Don Tiki featuring a young drummer named Abe Lagrimas Jr. He will be playing ukulele tonight! He appeared at Bill Tapia's 100th birthday celebration on the vibraphones. DON'T MISS HIM TONIGHT! He also is a member of Waitiki and has performed with them at the Hukilau.

I'll be there with Malahini Marc and Riki Kon Tiki.
Hope you can make it!

King Kukulele
