Jake is playing in San Diego Feb. 7th at Anthology. Should be fun....dinner and a show. Not sure if anyone in UU forum is from SD, but I thought I would get it out there. He seems to play a lot of gigs in Hawaii....so I don't want to miss this one here in SD.. Hey Aldrine...you ever play any shows here in SD?

Google (anthology sd) for tickets. I have never been there, but looks nice. The tickets are not cheap. I think they are about $24 ea. for a dinner table on the floor area. Apparently all floor dining seats are great seats?? You can also sit up above for a bit cheaper. I would much rather pay a bit more to actually "see" him play. I went to Belly Up last time he was in town and the show was incredible, but standing room only....so I could not see what he was doing on the fretboard and strumming which is so cool to see...
 
Looks like Jake is playing in the LA area on February 8th. It's in Palos Verdes, so if you're in the south bay, it's real close. No info yet on the ticket prices. If anyone wants to meet up and check it out, hit me up, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go.
 
How much does it cost and what time is the show? I'm off class at 3 pm and I'll be going for sure from Irvine if it's doable. Anybody want to set up a meet up if any of us go?
 
If you get a chance to talk to Jake, be sure to let him know that you're part of Ukulele Underground. We're (Aldrine, Aaron and I) friends with him so he'll know what you're talking about. I think he's going to help us out with some stuff later on the site too.

will do. hopefully that will be a chance to get an even more personalized autograph on my uke.

uh oh. dilemma time...

"thefamcallsmebj" here on UU has a uke that is signed by Ekolu. thats just awesome. but thats his only uke. so he actually has to play it. thats not awesome. its already starting to fade away.

i have three main ukes that i actually use pretty much equally. not a day goes by that i play a uke, that i dont at least strum all three of them at least once. so... one side of me says that it would suck to have to actually play the uke that i get signed by people. on the other hand, i wouldnt mind getting some sort of cheapy, to be the designated autograph uke... but then again, that would be a little embarrassing IMO, knowing that i have better ukes more worthy of a great autograph.

im sure jake wouldnt even notice that he's signing a junk uke. but my own conscience would be bothering me... "you shoulda let him sign the leolani at least!!!"

crap. what do i do???

... if i even go.
 
there are a few here from SD...

bugoy
ibcruzn
mcarreon

not sure of how many more. but i would love to check it out. where is anthology??? and how much are the tickets?

i didn't know that there was that many people from SD. i thought i was the only one.. well you can add me to that list haha
 
Tough call on that one.... I would say have him sign the uke that you play least. The last thing you want to be thinking about while you are playing is whether or not the sig. is wearing off because of wear and tear... I have an Oscar Schmitt (spelling?) concert that I am considering having him sign that I don't use too much...
