The Hula Honeys whirlwind tour of Hilo should begin with a shot of us poised and clean at the airport. But the first photo is of Shave Ice. It should be at the end but I am an awkward blogger. Once in Hilo we were picked up by good friend Jesse and transported straight to the Hilo Farmers Market, where we lusted after everything. I ended up buying a loaf of bread and a bag of purple potatoes (remember I'm traveling), a hand full of gardenias, a bag of cookies and an arm full of Antherium. Which we later wrapped in newspaper and lugged along with us. After this gastronomic taunting we were compelled to get Ahi burgers, (see forth photo) I can't remember the name of the place but it's behind the fish market and the lady that served us was originally from Kuao on Maui and very nice. Lots more happened but food was a constant theme. Pats Pancakes presented us with a menu that had to be revered, remember this is only one page, there was nothing that was not there at Pats, including us. Thanks for checking in, Ginger and the Honeys

Its been a grand month. A lot of folks have given up time to help us out and it shows. The "Hula Maidens" came across Big Time.
They danced their hearts out at the big CD release party in Haiku on May 28th, for the Hula Honeys release of "Girl Talk", on Ululoa . Thanks to everyone who came by, and for all the dancers and the lei, and for the wonderful support. We were dwarfed by loving supporters and humbled by friends bearing flowers and more. Both Robyn and I need to stop for a moment to thank the people that did more than their share. THANKS GUYS! It was one of those nights when you wonder if it was real and you hope you thanked everybody and you were sure that you had not. People mopped the floors so we could get our deposit back; stuff like that. It makes you humble when people are so nice . And people are that nice and more. Come to our corner of the Pacific to find a wonderful collection of women dancers, and a community of caring and soulful support and a trio of outlandish creative optimism, that's The Hula Honeys, and their support team, which should not be overlooked. Mahalo from the Honeys!
