Actually, Mick, the passports didn't even place! We thought they were our main competition.... Nope... Anyway, second went to an all Asian rock band that showed up at the last minute. They were really good...and really commercial. Anyway, good times...
Thanks for the encouragement, Jim and everyone!

We just got word... Even though The Hula Girls got third this weekend in the KEarth 101 'show us your Kahuna' contest at Knott's, they still want us to play their festival at Irvine Meadows. So we're playing Irvine THIS Saturday!!
Fans of Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire, prepare to meet The Hula Girls.

Consider this: the band that won will get to play about 6 songs on the main stage. And that's an audience waiting for either EWF or Chicago. (we know how that well that worked out for Journey when they opened for Emerson, Lake and Palmer in '77-they were booed off the stage)so who knows how well it will go over?
......Meanwhile, WE get to play our whole set, to every single person walking into the venue through the main concourse. When you add those people heading out to drain the main vein or take a dump in the porta potties, you can add another 1000.....
If there are 10,000 people there, then 10,000 people will be walkin by us, (eventually).
Never underestimate your Goombahs, Jeff!

Man, it was a BLAST! VIP parking right up front, VIP food and premium seats right in the middle by the mixing board! Earth Wind and Fire with Phillip Bailey at the helm were amazing! These guys have not rested on thier laurels...they sounded totally tight and very contemporary. Alex Nester, the gal who won the contest was really good! Chicago, not so much. I think they need Peter Cetera back, in my opinion.
