Brian and I went to Kokua Festival 2006 on 4/22. The headliners were Ben Harper, Willie Nelson and Jack Johnson.
It was ok, but it rained several times and when the lawn at the Shell is 'sold out' there is not enough room for everyone.

Tea (for short) is hopping out of the bowl. I didn't catch the action well, but it was really cute and hilarious. She just kept jumping in and out and doing popcorn in between.

A little lap time for the piggies. Don't they look smart?

Here's Brian with our new guinea pig cage. It's great - storage underneath and lots of room (10.5 sf) for the piggies to do "laps". It takes a lot of aspen bedding, but it's worth it if Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (our new piggies' names) are happy.

Elina, Caty, Alison and I hung out at the Susan G. Komen Bachelor Auction at Ocean Club on Friday. No buyers in our group, but it was fun and the happy hour specials on food were great! ($26 for dinner for 3)
