OK, I'm back. Well I said this would be Stream of Consciousness stuff and here it is. This internet (Verizon 4G) screws up about 1 day out of 10 and this is it , I guess. I gotta hurry and get this done
So any how, I was starting to tell the story of my bicentennial project yesterday, then decided I didn't want to blow a diary size memory in one chintzy inconsequential little comment. So this was in---wait for it--- 1976 and your boy was living on the island of Oahu on S Beretania st, right across the street from where the new police station is today . I had a "local" girlfriend then who showed me all the good places, like Zippy's and The Colombian inn. Anyway a couple of my best pals and I decided to do a genuine authentic (as much as possible) Hawaiian luau for our bicentennial Project.
My girlfriends father was an almost pure Hawaiian and he knew a lot about the lore. So we laid gill net and dug the imu and kalua'd a pig and a turkey. This was at Mokulaiea Army beach. I'm a veteran and so were my friends so we figured the Army wouldn't mind. Plus we invited the lifeguards.
Now you Hawaiian folks know that right next to Mokeluleia ia a beach park with a lot of people living there. So we fed as many as we could. That was our bicentennial project. it went great, specially with all the locals telling us it wasn't authentic as they chugged the Primo and ate da kine. there was a bunch of other genuine Hawaiian stuff stuff, too, like macaroni salad
This is a picture of it below, I'm standing in the upper right, blue shirt, arms folded.
Haha No, I'm not, the picture completely cuts me off on the right side.
Anyway a good time was had by all.
I think this was the best Bicentennial project of anyone i knew
Anyway, so I'm putting this out and previewing it quickly before Mr verizon takes a powder again so you can start your jibber jabber right....about....NOW!!
