hey there, just noticed this event. if anyone is passing through amsterdam, ny to get there, might be fun to go on a little "archeological" mission at the old tepee lounge if time affords. not sure there's much to see, but like i said, if you're passing through it might be worth snapping some pics.
more info on my posts in here:

No pressure! 
I can't wait to hear you play it, man.

When the dinner show is done Saturday night, I'm marching up to the Paradise Lounge, ordering a Mai Tai, and commandeering the stage in the name of ukulele!!!
( well, being as robust a gentleman as I am, it'll be a little more like squatting than commandeering, but it will be spirited squatting I can assure you that! Of course squatting sounds ugly and almost graphic so let us just say I'll be lounging with purpose)

I'd like to get my request in early. I'm hoping that Bamboo Saxotica does a reprise of their Exotica arrangement of "Moby Dick". That was awesome last year.

LOL!!! So glad you liked that!
We have a lot of exciting surprises this year!
That could definitely happen since it was actually a request by OHANA creator Sully in honor of our local Queequeg Chapter here in New England.

From Thursday/Friday's email. Sorry folks. I'm still having some email issues. Trying to get my inbox "unstuck", but right now I'm not getting of the emails you send. Feel free to PM me here, on the FOM, or over on facebook in the meantime.
Now on to the good stuff
OHANA Email: S4:E9 The one about the mug...

AloooooooooooooooooooooooooHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No big ramble today folks, just a quick note to let you know that as an attendee, you can get your Ohana mug RIGHT NOW!!!
Ok, not physically get it, but pre-order it, and pick it up at the event.
We only make 100 of these, and they are ONLY available to attendees, one per person.
Pre-order now to make sure you don’t get left out in the cold when they sell out!!
You can snag ‘em here: http://fraternalorderofmoai.org/ohana/ohana_mug.php
Once again, Squid nailed a great old school look and feel on a classic 3-panel bucket mug featuring two of the most iconic tikis from the Tiki Resort.
Check it out:
Pretty sick huh?
And it holds a NICE amount of Mai Tai, Navy Grog, or whatever your favorite beverage is. It also makes a great pencil/pen holder on your desk at work!!
So, whatcha waiting for? Go get yours now! http://fraternalorderofmoai.org/ohana/ohana_mug.php
And then you can see more of Squid’s work (AFTER you order your mug) at his site:
http://www.squidart.com
And be sure to bug him to come to Ohana this year. He’s “on the fence”… lets push him over!
Also I can’t forget our buddy Max over at Taboo Island, who is physically making and firing all of these mugs (and doing a kick ass job!!) He’ll be at Ohana too, with all sorts of killer stuff for sale, but if you can’t wait, check out Taboo Island here:
http://www.tabooisland.com
If you havent bought your Ohana tickets yet (why u wait so long?), go get em on the website: http://www.LuauAtTheLake.com
... And once you buy a ticket, you can buy a mug!! That’s a win-win!
Thanks for all your continued support, and as always, we’ll see ya at the lake!!!

Glad you're coming to join us kitty!!
If you see me running by, give me a yell. I love meeting new folks and always like the feedback from first timers. I'm easy to spot... I'll be the overweight guy in the Aloha shirt. 
For real though, cant wait to meet ya, and I'm sure you're gonna have a blast!
Keep your eyes out here (or for emails and facebook posts) for some more big news really soon!

Hi Bargoyle!
Thanks for the warm welcome! I will certainly keep my eyes open for you! I have boy & girl tiki-kitties tattooed just under my collar bone (makes me a weee bit easier to find in a crowd- that and I am 6' tall). My husband and I are counting down the days! Everyone ALREADY seems so nice and we haven't even met any of you yet!
Mahalo!!!
Tiki Kitty!
