Duke's on Sunday- it's for real.

If you haven't been to Duke's... on Sunday (in Waikiki), and wondered what that was all about, this might be of interest. My wife & I happened upon it by chance last month while visiting family in the Islands. It was absolutely incredible. I took video, edited it and put it to Jimmy's/ Kapono's ...

Re: Duke's on Sunday- it's for real.

My late (and very wise) grandparents bought property in Waikiki back in the early 1950s (a cluster of 3 bungalow cottages that later became an apartment building). My grandfather loved the Waikiki lifestyle- especially in those early years- and spent most of his waking hours (when he wasn't working)...

Re: Duke's on Sunday- it's for real.

Trader, you coming to Vegas in May? Sounds like you got away to the islands from the snow up north (in laws live in Sandpoint) for at least a little while. Hey FinsUp We'll be doing the usual October in Vegas. If I had my way we'd be doing both May & Oct in Vegas-as well as Seattle. But the eco...

Re: Duke's on Sunday- a must for PHs going to Waikiki concert

Another great place we frequent when go back is the Hau Tree Lanai Restaurant . This place is one of the best kept secrets in Waikiki. It's located somewhat near the Waikiki Shell on Sans Souci Beach across Kapilolani Park (next to the Old Natatorium). It's in the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel. It's...

Duke's on Sunday- it's for real.

We were visiting family in Hawaii last week- and as chance would have it, stopped in at Duke's in Waikiki...on Sunday. It was unbelievable! The mood, the atmosphere and of course, the people were incredible. The song is for real! I did some taping, edited it and put it to Jimmy's song- take a look i...

Hey Dave- bring the Phinmobile... Park it in the middle of the Street party (or maybe just backstage)- and with the limbo pit right in middle. But then with gas prices :o ...and from Detroit :o:o ...maybe not. :(

We'll be there! Along with at least six other PH pirates from way up north. Been doing Jimmy in Vegas for seven years... and it keeps getting better- though I do miss the MGM theme park party days. Those were some wild times. Look forward to meeting all of you there! PHins uP! :pirate: :wench: :pira...

Where is LMS going to be this year? Is anyone planning to stay at Flamingo or MGM? I am looking at airfare and hotels and these two are pretty close in price. Flamingo is where we always stay...after doing this for a few years we've decided it holds the best of all worlds- Margaritaville, the Stree...

Room prices at the Flamingo are starting go up in and around the 10/25. All serious Vegas participants might want to score those rooms soon. :pirate:

With a california date already released for 10/21, I vote for 10/18 and 10/25. He often jogs back and forth between CA and LV. Usually So Cal tho. :D Come on Vegas Dates!! :wench: I agree. I'm going with 10/18 and 10/25. This is Jimmy's sign to all the Vegas Parrotheads and MOTM people... so they c...

Re: This is getting real old...

Waiting for frigging West coast dates... Ahhh, yes...a Parrothead's life for me!!! The hard part, though, is always waiting for the damn dates. It's like we forget we go thru this same drill EVERY year. We have to remember....They WILL come- not as many-but they will come... Breathe in, breathe out...

Maybe this will get me a huge "DUH!", I don't know. But I was thinking about why they wait to announce the Las Vegas dates and thinking about how Jimmy said at last year's show that LV shows are mostly out-of-towners. Is it possible the LV dates are at the end of the tour and not announce...
