WB blog party for Ronnie and Rich

David and I had a good time tonight at the Warrior Beat party for Ronnie and Rich at Club Genji on South King Street.  This is the entrance from the parking lot.  Food was good; singing (especially by Liz) was fantastic; and the fellowship was warm.  In fact, we had such a wonderful time, we forgot to pick up my car at David’s office parking lot.  We drove all the way home in David’s car only to discover that my car was not in our garage.  So back we went to retrieve my car.  Grrr.  David was pissed.  Oh well, another sign of old age.  haha.

Around 50 people signed up for the event.  Here we all are in the main room of the club.

Rob25, Ronnie (guest of honor visiting from California), and WassupDoc.

On the left is Rich2176, who was the other guest of honor from California, and on the right is Stephen Tsai, our blog guru.  Rich does the auditing for American Idol, among other FOX shows.

Stephen Tsai and his beautiful wife, Wena, who recently opened a preschool on the Windward side.

This is Stretch, who was crazy enough to bet with me that the Lakers would beat the Celtics.  Well, he lost and, therefore, had to buy me dinner at Genji’s.  Never doubt the great Celtics!  They will be champs again next year.

Peaches and SteveM, who organized this party.  Peaches is part Korean.

LizKauai and Ralph.  Liz sang in a recent production of Man of LaMancha on Kauai. 

Al, LongTimeUHFan, and James.  Al’s dog recently gave birth to 7 puppies, depriving him of sleep.  LTUHF bought my three memoirs and said he enjoyed them.  James is a graduate of Damien High School, where my mother was the registrar.

Barry, BigHiloFan2, and Hiflyer — all regular bloggers.

And here is some of the fantastic food at the buffet:

Tempura

Spencer steak, ahi poke, and kulolo

Chicken udon and pork tofu

The party was still in full swing when David and I left at 8:15 pm.  David was tired and wanted to take a 2 hour nap before hitting the gym.  It was very nice meeting fellow bloggers, some of whom I met for the first time.  Hard to believe but it has been almost two years since the Warrior Beat blog started.  And on July 10 at 6 pm, we shall all celebrate the 2nd anniversary of its inception at the Stan Sheriff Center.  All are invited to attend.  Cost is $20 in advance and $25 at the door.  Woo-hoo!
