Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana! Yes, we’ve returned from our vacation and looking forward to a great Kanikapila this Friday. Hope to reconnect with you all this week!

After some consideration, I’ve decided to modify the FTL (Follow The Leader) format a little bit. I’m asking that if anyone has a song they’d like to introduce to the group that they:

1. Sign Up as a Leader on the "Leader Board”, first come first lead basis.

2. Make copies of your song for the group.

3. Solo the song through once and then  lead the UFOhana on a Hana Hou.

“Dinner Music” slots will be open as usual for those wishing to perform during our meal break.

Speaking of “Dinner Music”, click the following link to view a video (menu listed alphabetically) of Pu’uanahuluby Aaron, George and Martin. Recorded during our trip on 07.21.11.
