Darn! I don't get home to Honolulu till late on the 19th. Can you make me a doggy bag, Melissa?

To any others who may be in Honolulu on these dates- these are the best of the best Hawaii musicians and chefs. It would be a great way to contribute and experience a wonderful local event at the same time.

Hi OSB! Actually, in recent months PPC has gotten a lot of press and I think the popularity of his tours skyrocketed. He's added another day on to his tours, plus has private tours on the side.
