Big Mahalo

oahufish · Post by **oahufish** » October 7, 2007 4:49 pm

I would just like to thank everyone for attending our 5 O'clock on the Beach party, and helping make it such a big success. It went far beyond anything we had envisioned several months ago when we started putting everything together. We were initially wondering if we would be able to get 75 people, I think we had around 350! Would like to apologize for the long bar lines, and thank you all for being patient. I don't think the Elks is used to serving that many drinks. We told them it was a Parrothead Party, but I don't really think they knew what that meant! Also would like to give a special Mahalo to Bill Ansel for helping organizing activities and promoting our event on BuffettNews. Really wish he could have been here to enjoy it all.
It was great meeting everyone in person. If any of you are back in the islands again, make sure and look us up.
Hope everyone has a safe trip back home.
Aloha,
Lee

A big MAHALO right back at you...a perfect setting for a perfect day! Loved seeing the working doggies there. And loved meeting and greeting with the other BN'rs. Thanks to both you and Bill for all of your good work.

I found a drink ticket in my pocket. Can I get another mai tai?

A huge Mahalo to all the Pau Hana Parrotheads!! It was a great party and we had absolutely no complaints. Beautiful setting and a wonderful charity. I bought the "Got Woof" tee shirt. Hope to see you again!!

We just need to go back to Hawaii and get all the Mai Tai's we want!
That Tropical Itch at Duke's was pretty good too!!

I need to say a Big Mahalo back to everyone in the Pau Hauna Parrothead Club, and to Bill for the stuff he organized. We had to stay on the fringe a bit, but had a blast at the Elk's Lodge. It was great meeting Dave and Tammy from MD (though we never did see you at Waikoloa... we really thought we would!). Mahalo also to whoever was in our seats at the concert

. I'm glad you wanted to sit with your friends... your seats were WAY better than our original ones, and you truly made my birthday. Cowboyjunkie and geekiegecko, thanks for your recommendations and help on both islands. You made our trip quite a bit more enjoyable. It just sucks being back on the mainland. Real life and (non-tropical) rain are such a drag. I really wish I could hang out with Manta Rays and sea turtles all the time... Someday I will...
You all have a very special place to live. Thanks for sharing!

Thanx to all the Pua Hana's for a great time, filled with great music, fun, food,and phriends! Good luck to those four legged canine friends and the great service they provide.
It was alot of fun and look forward to doing it again,!!!

I still have 4 drink tickets leftover, can you ship me a supersized maitai?

Yes, Yes, forgot about the Tropical Itch at Duke's! (Needed that back scratcher when I burned a tad after too long on Wai-Kee-Kee!) And a few drink tickets came home in our suitcase too. Oh well, we just consider it a contribution to the Hawaii Parrotheads for delivering such a wonderful pre-concert celebration.
Thanks to all for their wonderful photos--
And a big shout out to (hopefully) new BNewsers, Warren and Brendan!

I think but am not sure that someone from San Diego won it. Don't think they were a BNer.
Enjoyed meeting all of you, and I will see a couple of you in Vegas. Phins UP
