2000 people in Edmonton... THANK YOU!: Thanks so much to all who came to see SOLO IN SOUTH AMERICA at the wonderful Edmonton Teacher's Conference - A 2000 seat room and 100 reputedly turned away.
Thanks to EVERYONE who came to ANY of the recent shows... 9 shows in 4 cities in 7 weeks. Holy Cow!
Thanks to all sponsors and supporters too!

*Newly added photos from Edmonton as well as VICTORIA, NANAIMO and VANCOUVER SHOWS!
TAKING THE PLUNGE:
A jaunt to the Big Island of Hawaii at Easter put me in the Southern Most point of the USA... aptly called "South Point"....
It is a bit more daunting than it might look to willingly toss yourself off that edge. To make it worse, this was low tide too - making the drop more like 45 to 50 foot.

Yes there also could possibly be sharks in those waters!

CRAZY HAWAIIAN FACTS: Did you know...
1)
Hawaii consumes more SPAMmeat products than any other place in the world!
2) macadamia nutS are imported INTO Hawaii from Australia to sell to tourists... OZ does it cheaper so most are imported. Pineapple gets imported too I hear.
3) The Hula Competition in Hilo on April 15 has people lining up 12 hours early to get a good seat. They scream like its a rock show! It's the "Superbowl of Luaus!"
DISTRACTING STREET NAME?: Two car accidents happened right in front of my eyes... One on "NAPOOPOO Drive" (pronounced Napo'opo'O).
I got to direct traffic around the mess by being first on scene. It was great that cars passed saying thanks and giving the famous "Hang Loose" gesture.
The second accident near "Puu Nani Drive" tore two cars apart. Luckily no one was injured.
BLOG: Some goofy stories and VERY cool found videos. From Base Jumpers to Graham Chapman's Eulogy.
also blurbs about:
- machine guns on Hastings street...
- Marilyn Manson gig after a wee mountain "rescue"
- best comb-over ever!
- A really "manly bike" that was for sale on Craigslist.
-
