Na Hoku Hanohano

Na Hoku Hanohano

Heres your dude! On the plane again with some Na Hoku recap photos....Man I swear..... The hokus are just one big party! The awards ceremony was pretty satisfying, I was kinda hoping that lopaka/kaumakaiwa would win one more award... But thanks for the blessings that have been given this far. And of course the graphics division running had my attention! MAHALO to all the people that felt I should have been in the running and voiced it that lastnight(especially Scott johnson of dogtowne)! I give total props dogtowne for dominating and taking the crown for the graphic design division. Okay now on to the music..... The music was on some nostalgic shit! Aunty pua and kaumakaiwa took the stage about mid hokus and earned everyones applause by doing a traditional chant number. As every person would think, the hokus is a whoswho in the hawaiian music scene. Jack Johnson was laid back as usual, Ekolu had some custom k-swiss, had some conversation with Paula Fuga, Manu B. was in the scene, Oshen was chillin around, Na Palapalai was up to no good, Uncle George was pimpin as usual, Kekai boys were @ the table, kwai chang was sporting my first designed SZ aloha shirt.

Over all it was a beautiful thing to share a few drinks(lemonade and ice tea) with crazy talented musicians. A enjoyable event that will inspire me forever! Till the next one Shoooooots!
