Makua birthday Campout 2013~

We went camping for the yearly Erika and Cynthia's birthday Makua. Got there and managed to get the spot closest to the parking lot, saw anamazing rainbow in the valley that stayed for an hour! Rainy but Cynthia had a tarp and we were right next to a big tree. Then our tent poles broke, oops! We watched a fantastic sunset, played lots of great music and it suddenly got calm and clear, so much so that Joe broke out his cello, everyone jammed and the stars were so bright they looked fake and huge. A very dark night when you can see not only every star in the sky, but satellites, too! Chris and Gary made a great fire and there was enough firewood to last til morning and while Joe and I slept in the car, they jammed all night long~ Beautiful Makua, such blessings, same as it ever was~

Spring is here and luck and change are in the air. My "Female Comics of Hawaii" was honored to be the cover story in the Midweek on 4-17-13, the paper that's delivered for free to the whole island. We got an amazing response to it and our Dinner Comedy Show sold out! We started an email list for people who want more info. on our shows, please comment if you want to be on it. The Female Comics killed it at our Adega show and everyone had a great time, what a fantastic audience! I started a new job at UH Manoa and now have a great supervisor and my Joe turned 50 so we had a BBQ jam party for him at the house. Next up, the Female Comics of Hawaii will perform with the band, Hammajang at Hawaiian Brian's on Friday, June 28th, 7 pm $10 cover, no reservations needed. See you there! Also, don't forget about my birthday Makua May 11th this year, hopefully the dolphins will greet us there~
