Magic Mushroom Reunion Party VII at the Dole Cannery's Pomaika'i Ballroom (11-28-2015)

Another successful Magic Mushroom Reunion Party despite the last minute change from Manoa Grand Ballroom to the Pomaika'i Ballroom in Iwilei.  Thanks goodness for social media, all ticket holders showed up at the right place!  Kudos to Dennis & Joy Matsukawa, their family, and the many hands for making this reunion party possible.  Tonights line up:  Tymeless, Audissey & Friends, Powerpoint II, and WhiteLight; hosted by Radio Celebrity Dave Lancaster of Hawaiian 105 KINE. Many family and friends kicking off the holiday season enjoying live music from the past.  Ballroom and line dancers took advantage of the extra large dance floor area.  Perhaps to dance off recent Thanksgiving Day calories.

JonT Media Hawaii was happy to capture many Golden Moments (as shown below), including the surprise Mob Dancers whom adorned feather masks during the 'Cocobana' song.  We even caught a bunch Higas in the house.

Like the old adage, '#7 is heaven', but we're sure '#8 will be just as great!'
Stay tuned for the next MMRP on May 21, 2016, and  Don't Stop The Music!

This is Sandy's Band, Tapestry.  They play at The Lounge at The Honolulu Club every first Thursday of the month from 6:30 pm.  The Lounge is a clean relaxing enviroment, with a full bar and delicious tapas menu.

On this night Gerry Cabral from the band Kona Winds, and Deja Blu joined them on keys and vocals.  Their next show will be on January 7, 2016.
