Aloha,
Thanks to all the Pau Hana Parrot Heads who were able to make it out to our annual Christmas event this past Saturday night at Cha Cha Cha’s in Hawaii Kai. We had a turn out with a total of 27 members showing up at some point throughout the night. Mahalo to board member Jeff Eck for carrying out the MC duties and keeping the gift exchange interesting. There was quite a variety to choose from this year, ranging from a quite exquisite wine holder complete with bottles of wine, 12 pack of Landshark’s, a flamingo yard piece and maybe the most passed around item of the night a “Chairman Mao” watch!!!
Those who were able to stick around until later in the evening were treated to one of the best Boat Christmas Light Parade’s on Oahu. Seem’s like the number of entries were down this year, but those who participated whet all out and put on a really fantastic show. The “Rocket Pack” guy’s were very entertaining and probably the highlight of the event…can’t wait to try one out!!!
Musical entertainment for the night was the duo “Mango Season”, they put on a really nice show and even did a few “Buffett” numbers and other request’s just for our group. I’ll have to admit it’s the first time I’ve ever heard the song “Mr San Cho Lee”, pretty funny local song…check it out on Youtube if you like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS2YLvGGtwY&feature=related
Finally a big Mahlao to Angie, Jeff and the crew out at Cha Cha Cha’s for their service and providing one of the most fantastic waterfront venue’s on Oahu to our club. Please stop by and check them out anytime time you’re in the Hawaii Kai area…live music throughout the week and great Happy Hour drink and dining special’s every day.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s…and look forward to seeing all back in 2012. Our next club social will be at Dixie Grill in January. Also please keep Friday Feb 17th open on your calendar’s for a big night at Jimmy Buffett’s. It’s a joint venture with over 70 folks from the Tampa Bay Parrot Head Club who are in town for the Norwegian Hawaiian Island Cruise. Lot’s of great live Trop Rock music with the group’s “Latitude”, “Sunny Jim” and one of our local favorites.
Phinz Up,
Pau Hana Parrot Heads

Aloha,
Great time for all those who came out this past Saturday night for Rob Mehl’s House Concert at the Waikiki Yacht Club. Rob put on a fantastic show for our small group, it was a really magical night. He incorporates many of the sights and sounds of old Waikiki into his Trop Rock song lyrics and stories. Most likely one of the best performances to ever hit the Yacht Club. Hoping to catch his act again sometime in the future when he comes back to the Islands to produce his upcoming CD.
A big Mahalo also to club member and sponsor Lyle Holden for reserving the venue for our group, and our VP Deane Leidholt for use of his sound equipment. Check out our website and facebook page Pau Hana ParrotHeads for more pictures.
Please join us in October at Jimmy Buffett’s for the “Mac Attack”, San Diego entertainer Mac MacDonald will be putting on a show for our group. It’s always a wild time with Mac…please check out his website at http://www.macmacdonald.com/fr_homepage.cf

Phinz Up to all those who were able to attend our annual “Late Summer Memership Bash” at Jimmy Buffett’s this past Saturday Aug 20th. We kicked off the event at 3:00pm with Domonique and Bronson, the guys from Borderline who put on a fantastic set. The duo covered many Island favorites as well as some Buffett, Zac Brown and Kenny Cheney hits. Bronson ripped it up with his Ukulele, probably one of the best solo’s ever performed on the “Porch of Indecision”.
At around 4:45pm Trop Rock entertainer Scotty Bryan took the stage and did not disappoint. He covered many Buffett tunes old and new along with other Trop Rock favorites and some originals, putting on another unforgettable performance that lasted until Buffett’s shut the place down at around 9:00pm.
MC Jeff Eck, kept the show moving smoothly during the breaks with plenty of great door and raffle prizes. So many way’s to win and so little time!!!
Club Vice Pres. Deane Leidholt kicked off the final round of bidding on the auction at 8:00pm. Some of the most desired item’s were a LandShark Bar Light, several decorative full size Pacifico and Corona Surfeboards, a framed Wyland Print and a limited edition Kona Longboard sign.
We would like to give special thanks to David Erp, Randy Calinski and Jason the sound guy from Jimmy Buffett’s for allowing us to hold this great event on the “Porch of Indecision” also to Margaritaville store manager Colleen Benevedes for all the great donations used as door prizes. Many thanks to the entire list of Restaurants, Bars and Businesses Island wide who generously contributed over $1300 in gift certificates and the many auction items. Finally, a big Mahalo to our entertainer’s and the entire group of Pau Hana Parrot Head Officers and Board Members who put in many hours of hard work and helped make this event possible.
Management at Jimmy Buffett’s stated that they’ve heard lot’s of great feedback about our event and would love to have us back again next year. The final tally raised from the raffle and auction for USO Hawaii was $2450.00. A pretty good showing for our small Phlock!!!
Mahalo and Phinz Up
