Reunion, Jamba, & More!
Gordon Biersch, Feb. 6-Brother To Brother reunion (Rod Esteban, Johnny Kamai, Blaise Sison, Ben Vegas)
It was a very busy weekend starting with the Brother to Brother Reunion at Gordon Biersch on Friday night. It was so nice having Blaise in town from Las Vegas. He plays bass at Caesar's Palace and used to play with Ben and me. The place was jam packed because of the Pro Bowl block party. More pictures are posted...
The crowd had fun!!
Saturday, Kanoe, Ben, and I headed to Kauai for the Jamba Juice/Starbucks grand opening. We loooove both of those places and I'm so happy they're finally on the island! We took a picture with Roxy Girl-Carissa Moore. What a sweet girl!

That night, Kanoe emceed the Halau Hula 'O Leilani Ho'ike and Ben and I performed. It was a busy day, but such a blessing. Hula was once a big part of my life and I'm always thankful for opportunities to connect with it again.

The next day, we flew home for the Pro Bowl where Kanoe presented leis for the Hall of Fame players. One of them was John Elway. Barry Sanders was supposed to be here, but didn't make it (shucks!). We had great seats, but only stayed for the first quarter. We both got harrassed so much that day by a bunch of crazy, drunk guys. Then, Kanoe got mobbed for photos and we were like, "Okay, time to go!" I probably would've stayed under other circumstances. We were both so tired and fell asleep as soon as we got home. Sorry I don't have any pics of Kanoe on the field. I took some, but it's kind of hard to see the details. Anyway, that was my weekend! Hope everyone had a great one too!
