"Dammit, Jim, I'm a comper, not a clarinetist! Oh, wait; I'm both. Well, I'm not a flutist, then! Oops. I'm one of those, too. Then I'm definitely not a yoga instructor! Hold it. I've got that going on, as well. There's no way I'm all of those things and a former pong champion, too!

Um, well, nevermind."

Still No Pong, But Check This Out!

This weekend in San Francisco, the 11th Annual Aloha Festival! Holy cats!

The Pacific Islanders of the San Francisco Bay Area offer their talents in music and dance during this free two-day festival of arts. Entertainment highlights include Pacific Islander music as well as Polynesian dance. The festival will also feature arts & crafts vendors, island cuisine, educational exhibits and workshops, and an "Ohana Korner" with simple games for the kids!

Closing performance on Sunday at 4:30 by Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu and Academy of Hawaiian Arts.

Great fun for the whole family, even the surly teens. Who doesn't love Hawaiian culture? Only idiots.
