I might know a couple of places in SF more specifically the Mission District/Daly City and Inner Richmond areas. I'll talk to the owners to see if we can use those venues and if those dates will work.
Looking forward to your visit :rock:

Hey Alden, maybe the Mission cultural center? I'm checking on one other spot. I'll chime back in when I learn more.

We'll probably only be in the bay area for the weekend and flying out to San Diego maybe Monday morning.

Hey guys
I definitely think you'd be at a miss to not come to Orange County. Island Bazaar is probably THE place for anything and everything Ukulele (as close as we can get for being on the mainland) in orange county. It's a big store, but they hold clinics and huge group lessons on certain tuesdays and thursdays every month. I'm sure you guys could be the surprise guest there and wow everyone...since you guys play some mean ukulele. It'd be a nice treat from the "ok tonight we're learning mary had a little lamb" (just kidding, the place is awesome)
it's not like a club gig or a music "venue" perse, but it's where you'd find the biggest gathering of Ukulele players.
there's a few other places in orange county that are quite easy to book a gig at (Hogue Barmichaels by the orange county airport being one of them) that is a club/venue type of feel and you could promote that show while playing at Island Bazaar. It's not a huge venue so you shouldn't have a problem filling it. I'll get as many mainland based Hawaiians I know to roll out and show some support.
if you guys don't feel like driving from San Fran, there's quite a few flights to Orange County (SNA-santa ana airport) from San fran or Oakland (Alaska air has cheap flights). the drive from Orange County to San Diego is an easy one, and I'm sure one of us from orange county could take you guys down.
PM me if you guys need anything

OKay, the next step is for us to increase the number of guamies on UU and then have you guys come out to GUAM. Maybe we can get some Aldrine songs on the radio!

If you guys need a ride to/from Orange County, I'd be happy to play chauffeur for you guys. I know a few places here in Laguna Beach that might be very interested in a performance (The Royal Hawaiian and The Sandpiper). I'll look into it. But regardless, I'll be there in Huntington!

Im not sure what your Orange County schedule will be, but I found a great place for you guys to play here in Laguna: http://www.mozambiqueoc.com/entertainment.html
Read the column on the right hand side of the link (it's a little long, but describes their sound setup). They will also record the entire performance on a CD, as well as a one-song DVD, free of charge. It's a really great set-up that gets good weekday crowds. It's right on PCH here in Laguna and one block from Pearl Street beach.
If you guys are interested, here is the booking contact: booking@mozambiqueoc.com
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Gigs in LA
I might be able to hook you up with gigs in LA. Also, have you considered playing on 3rd st. in Santa Monica? Garans you'll sell some CDs. Each band member needs to get a 37 dollar license though, but its good all year round. Allow 3days for processing, and you need 2 pasport size photos. Plus I'll let you use my PA system and battery set up and I can give you a ride (if I can borrow my girlfriends car). PM me if you're interested. I'll have to talk it over with my girlfriend, but I've got a spare room and couch you guys could crash on while in LA.
