San Dimas Ho'olaule'a Day 2 Tomorrow

It was beautiful day filled with Hawaiian music, food, and vendors and especially meeting so many people today who stopped by the booth for the Aloha Falsetto Festival. Lots of new faces will be there at the show next month, that's for sure. Entertainment was wonderful today and food was good, too. Actually, I ordered the beef stew from Rutt's TWICE today, it was that ono (delicious)! Hung out for most of the day with slack key guitar player Jim "Kimo" West, jammin' on some Hawaiian music tunes

Here's the entertainment for tomorrow - not familiar with all of them but the 11:00 group's kumu is Keoni Chang and "A Hawaiian Experience" is led by Aurora Kaawa, sister of Mike Kaawa who plays and sings with Ledward Kaapana, just won a Hoku award for Favorite Entertainers. Both Mike and Led are cool dudes and I'm hoping to get Led on board for the 2010 Southern California Slack Key Festival!
