Today started out at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet. This is a must visit for us every time we come out here. We were there super early because we had early afternoon plans. A lot of the vendors weren’t set up yet and the swap meet staff were still setting up some of the stalls. It’s crazy how fast they set these up. It’s mostly gazebos and tables. They have a group that drives around in a utility van and drop off whatever the vendor requests and another group that follows and sets up almost as fast as the drop off happens. I hear the Stadium is going to be demolished and the swap meet is moving somewhere else. I have no idea when this is going to happen or where it's going to relocate to but I did get this information from TikTok and everone knows that everything on TikTok is true.
After the swap meet we were supposed to meet up for a memorial for a very close friend of the Halau but there was a little bit of trouble trying to establish a place and time to make it happen. While the parties involved were organizing we grabbed a quick lunch at ABC and met up with the rest of the group.
This was the first time I’ve attended a memorial like this and it was beautiful.
After the memorial we went to the beach so the haumana could make lei for the festival that they’re performing at later this trip. I was able to play in the water and relax for a bit.
We did a quick dinner before picking up one of the last members to arrive and headed back to the hotel so everyone could finish their lei.
Today was a very long day. Tomorrow is a workshop day for the the group. Workshop days are intense.
