We'll be the opening act, starting at 9am (whew, kinda EARLY) and doing just 20 minutes. Catch it if you can; this'll probably be our sig-gig.
Best regards.

It might be useful to post the date... Or perhaps the date for the day before, so people can sleep over and catch you at sunrise... 8)

Man I hate being up this early (5:30 now, got up at 5) on a Saturday morning! Gotta do whatcha gotta do though. 50 mile drive, 20 minute gig, have some nice Hawaiian food, then drive back.
Should be fun though.
ttyl!

Hey, I get up that early every weekday morning to get ready for work. Good thing it's only 7:30am in Wisconsin right now. :wink: Hope you have a blast, and incase you've never seen this, here's some uke to get you goin for the day!

Yup, Jake's hot!
Just got back; the traffic (Los Angeles!) wasn't all that bad. We normally get up at 5am M-F as well, but it's nice sometimes to not set the alarm ;)
Gig went good. It was indoors, where I thought it would be outdoors, and I finally got a chance to try a SansAmp Bass preamp. Our TechRider specifies a small bass combo, and I brought mine along, but by the time we setup, it was a straight DI into the PA.
Which was cool, except we have "No Bass in Monitors" in the rider and well...no sound check time (for anyone) and I could hardly hear myself except a little bit through the house. It went really well though - lots of fun, a really appreciative audience, nicer than nice people.
And...lots of great food!
The Spam musubis looked great, but I opted for Portuguese sausage and scrambled eggs - AFTER the set. Lots of beautiful ukes to be bought, lots of uke enthusiasts grinning and walking around. Real different from a regular hoolaulea. There were uke classes and workshops and the same for hula. We just strolled around a bit, got a bag of manapua (pork dimsum), and had a blast. Even got to be in the audience for a few friends we know on the circuit.
Great farewell gig actually. Now, on to some other stuff :)
Take care, and thanks for the encouragement and link
PS: Oh, also got to see a 'bass stick' which is basically...a stick of wood with three strings; like an upright with no body. $550 for a stick though...I don't know. If I get an upright, it's gonna be a real upright.
Take care!
