Weird happenings at Lulu’s … we found out late Thursday that Lulu’s would be closed to the public last night because someone had booked the entire club/restaurant for a last-minute private party!  Although Lulu’s management was extremely apologetic, it couldn’t have happened at a worse time since a lot of our fans were in town for the annual Na Hoku Hanohano festivities.  And since many of our fans did come down to listen to us, we tried to go outside and meet with as many of them as we could before starting our live show.  I sincerely apologize to all of you for this terrible inconvenience …

And to make matters worse, we won’t be performing at the Kani Ka Pila Grille this evening due to a scheduling conflict.  That means that our fans who came specifically to see us perform during the Na Hoku Festival weekend won’t get to see us at all!  Man, that really sucks!!  Once again, I sincerely apologize to all of you and we promise to somehow make it up to you in the future!

We’ve been having quite a bit of construction going on lately .. our two neighbors are having renovation work done on their homes and we just had one of our avocado trees cut down.  Don’t worry, it wasn’t the one that always gives us great pears … it was the one behind the garage that never fruited and only made lots of leaf rubbish for us and our neighbors.  Still, it was sad to see it go …

Photo corner:  Here’s a pic of the avocado tree which was just cut down … but our other avocado tree is bearing fruit again!

Our avocados are looking real good and should be ready to pick next month.  Interesting note – it’s the avocados who now have the size advantage over our puppies.  When the avocados were small our dogs would pick up them up off the ground, carry them into our house, and then rip ‘em apart.  Now the avocados are big and our little ones better be careful that they don’t get hit on the head by the falling fruit!  What a great plot for a movie .. “The Revenge of the Avocado Tree – Part I”!
