“The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and the Honolulu Memorial, covering approximately 116 acres, are located in Puowaina Crater, an extinct volcano referred to in Hawaii as "Punchbowl" because of its shape. Although there are various translations of the Punchbowl’s Hawaiian name, “Puowaina,” the most common is “Hill of Sacrifice.” This translation closely relates to the history of the crater. The first known use was as an altar where Hawaiians offered human sacrifices to pagan gods and killed violators of the many taboos.”

Elk's Party:
Pau Hana Parrotthead's Party Page (Scroll down for the ticket purchasing):
http://www.pauhanaparrotheads.org/5_Oclock.htm

Jake's Party:
I talked to Mitch (He's with Jake's Fan Club) and the party is full, for now. They are starting a waiting list for Friday's party.

From Mitch:
"And for the fan club party, admittance is all pre-paid and we cannot accept money at the door. Currently we started a waiting list for reservations as we hit the capacity already."

Jake is also playing a show on Sunday night at Jimmy Buffett's at the Beachcomber. No tickets needed for the Sunday show. Check Jakes website for details. http://www.jakeshimabukuro.com You can get Mitch's e-mail from the website and see if he can put you on the list. Members of his fan club are allowed to bring four guests, so you either have to know a member or just joing the club.

We are staying at the Beachcomber. We made our reservations before all of the parties started getting announced, so we are very happy. Where are you guys staying?

I think I'm going to wait until I get there to purchase a ticket... but this'll be a nice way to party before the concert....
I was thinking about a luau on Thursday but knowing that I'm flying out of O'Hare and they're expecting snow/rain mix on Thursday I'm also expecting a delay, Therefore I'll have to hold off on this until I get to my hotel (here's hoping )

Greg, I'm really sorry you cannot go, I was really looking forward to meeting you.... (I'm hoping I don't have to cancel because I have a client that has had a few major issues in the past couple of days that have circumvented what I was brought there to do )

Maybe you can try to catch Alpine or Toyota Park this year???
