 the group?  no, i&#8217;m not with the group (thinking that he was asking me if i was in the band).  as soon as i said &#8220;no&#8221;, he said &#8220;get out now!!!&#8221;  what??? he said again &#8220;get out now&#8221; and pointed to the exit.  i said, &#8220;hey, i was invited here dude.  i ain&#8217;t leaving.  our seats are right there!!&#8221;  he looked pretty pissed off at me and walked away.  i was going to chase him down and say &#8220;hey, 2 of the guys in the group are my surfer friends so you better watch who your talking too.  just because i&#8217;m in shorts, tshirt, and slippers, you don&#8217;t have to treat me that way.&#8221;  haha&#8230;  just joking&#8230;  but when the guy tried to throw me out of the concert, i was laughing inside because there was no way i was going to leave&#8230;..<br \/>\nanyway, i had a great time last night.  sitting under the stars fronting the lagoon at the hilton hawaiian village was really nice.  i got to listen to cool japanese pop music and as i was walking back to my car, i passed by the pool and guess who was singing live there?  henry kapono!!  wow, what an entertaining night!!!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100531025451.jpeg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nthen i stopped by my friends graduation party after at &#8220;Kochi.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100531025539.jpeg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\ni want to congratulate Kristy for graduating from the University of Hawaii.  she&#8217;s going to be a dentist!!!  can you clean my teeth?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/20100530190815.jpeg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\nand last, i love hawaii!!!!  seeing the amazing sunrises and sunsets blows me away!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good morning. hey, waves all over the island!! the south swell is here. not that big but i see some really nice overhead waves breaking at bowls. north shore is good too!!! 20 guys out at pipeline getting barreled. pipeline in may?
