I would love to go but I have a thousand things to do today and have been working house construction until about 10PM everynight.
take picture especially closeups of good fabric prints and grab any kind of flyer or catalog they have

no one will GIVE one of these off their backs: but at the Hawaiian Shirt Show at Momo there were some for sale!
Danny Eskenazi famous Aloha Shirt Aficionado, exhibited 5 rare vintage Aloha Hawaiian Shirts. Textile artist Huei Huang was selling tiny Aloha Shirts for boys... super cute!
A special selection of Hawaiian shirts from Honolulu's Iolani Sport were part of the Trunk Sale, as well as shirts from Danny's personal collection. Nothing rare, mostly modern stuff.
Momo is a cute boutique store with an ecclectic mix of Japanese and Hawaiian doodads and clothing.
Danny, from our Seattle Hawaiiana Club
circa 1940 shirts for display only! similar shirts have sold for $1000 recently on ebay. and Danny isnt willing to part with his!
nifty cubbyholes full of stuff
Sox for special people with only 2 toes

Danny shows us the "rarest of the rare" Aloha Shirts from the book
The owner serves up drinks
