        What a terrific time!
        I totally enjoyed myself and definitely won't be needing dinner either.
        Loved catching up with old friends, putting faces to screen names, being adopted by a bunch of kids, and...

        Thanks for a Great day!!!

          I am so glad you all had a great time! Thanks for the pictures! I was committed to going to the Tagami & Powell art show to support a friend
          who was exhibiting. It was a great time. Sometime I sure hope to meet
          you all! It was fun to read about the event yesterday in the paper.

            I went to the GeekMeet today. The weather was perfect - sunny, warm Hawaii. Amazingly this was the first time I'd been to Ala Moana Park or Magic Island. Super nice. Lots of families and picnics and parties. I met a lot of people. I'd name names, but I don't want to risk forgetting anyone. When I got there Menehune Man took several of us including Brian (LocalMotion) and his girlfriend Stacia on a geocaching demonstration. Then I met Ryan and he pointed out Aunty Lynn. Aunty Lynn took me around and introduced me to many HT'ers. Thanks Lynn. I much appreciated your friendliness. I sat down and ate while talking to Seeking Penance and met Aunty Lynn's daughter, Granddaughter and Husband PK. There was a ton of good food. Everyone was very friendly and the vibe was easy and relaxed. I was going to take a bunch of individual shots, but in the end I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable with the camera. So here are some quick snapshots I took on auto, with a little sharpening and cropping, just to give an idea of what was going on in general. Beautiful time. I'm glad I went.

            Aunty Lynn and Seeking Penance.

                  Two more. The last one is Aunty Lynn and PK. Aunty Lynn, I have some other ones for you and PK, but I haven't got them processed yet. I believe this one is with the flash.

                    Oh you're -that- Jim! Oh man, I'm horrible with names, if you'd been holding up a little picture of your avatar I totally would have remembered you. I wish I'd realized, I would have loved to talk photo.


                    Fun party. Good times. I'm sunburnt and sleepy. Big thanks to everyone who helped out.

                            Me too.

                            It was a joy to see everyone and to meet new Geeks! I also have some pics but I'll post it laterz. Am too tired to do it tonight. I delivered some food to Aala Park to my Homeless friends. They were very thankful.

                            Jim, the photo's are beautiful.

                            Love and ALOHA,

                              I wish I were more active here so I would have known to look for and meet you all. :-)

                                I dunno, maybe name tags are dorky but I think name tags with our avatars are a really good idea...even if only the HTers wore them.

                                Thanks for the photos to date. What a perfect day for a picnic and to be outside. Sorry to miss the festivities. I didn't see any tweets on FB announcing the arrival of MC Hammer so I assume he was a no show! His loss!
