Aloha everyone! Kimo has sent

Aloha everyone!
Like the other parade spectators, we sat patiently for OHNOZONE'S favorite son. Well, I guess it was around 8:45 pm when we spotted Apolo & Yuki approaching us. Jan and I immediately held our sign out and called to Apolo and Yuki. They both spotted us and Yuki yelled "Kimo-San"!!! Apolo noticed Jan and I holding up the sign and preceded to snap a picture of us. Whoever snapped that picture of him taking a picture, I'm sure that he was taking a picture of our sign. The background looked very familiar. Oh yea, by the way, we had the lei sent from Hawaii to Yuki's Salon on Friday. For those of you who are part of the Hawaiian Connection, the lei was made up of Pakalana entwined with Mock Orange leaves and Kukui Nuts. When I spoke to Yuki on Saturday morning, he expressed his appreciation and thought the lei was just beautiful....If you guys can only smell that Pakalana flower...what fragrance!!! Of course, the lei was for Apolo but Jan and I think that since Yuki really loved the lei, Apolo, being the caring person that he is for his father, gave it to Yuki to wear.

Once they came to the end of the parade, I decided to give them our gifts (sushi & manju)....you know, being the GRAND MARSHALS of a parade can really work up an appetite! Well, as I was walking to their car, the driver decides to turn around and zoom down the side of 2nd Avenue toward the rest of the oncoming parade. No gifts for the Ohnos.... Where are they going???? Well, Jan and I decided to pack it up and head back to our car on Jackson St. (we just came to see the Ohno's) Well wouldn't you know it...but as soon as we turned the corner onto Jackson St., we spotted the red convertible and another red truck. We scurry up to their position and I asked some bystanders if they know where Apolo is and one of the girls tell me that he is in the red truck. Of course we cannot see them behind the tinted windows but I know they can see both Jan and I. At this point, I reach for the sushi and manju again and the truck begins to roll away. I raise my arms up in a "presentation" gesture bearing our gifts and all of a sudden, the truck comes to a complete stop, the back window is coming down and Apolo appears!!!! I walk towards Apolo, gave him our gifts and I hear Yuki again yell out.. Kimo-San!!! We exchange pleasantries and Jan snapped a picture of Apolo and I shaking hands. He thanked us for coming out and I told him that we will see him at the Teen Choice Awards this Sunday at the Universal Amphitheater. I can only think that Apolo and Yuki told the driver to stop for us...What an AWESOME feeling...There was definitely a lot of LOVE in the air!!!

As we proceeded towards our car, I make an attempt to call our friends who live in Woodenville to "hook up". Well, I inadvertently called Yuki instead and I apologize to him for the error and he tells me to call him later in the evening to discuss a possible "hook up" on Sunday. I tell Yuki that Jan and I were catching a 6:25 am flight back to Los Angeles on Sunday because Jan had to work. He was a bit surprised that we would just come only for the parade. I thanked him and that we would speak again.

Well, Jan left for Las Vegas (World Hair Show) Monday morning and she said that she was going to call Yuki. At the dinner in Chicago, both Jan and Yuki were talking "shop" and I think Jan had mentioned to Yuki that she would search for a salon product that Yuki was looking for. Brace yourself......this part is very disappointing...Well tonight, Jan calls me and mentioned that she spoke to Yuki and that he and Apolo wanted us to be their guest at one of the suites at the Seattle Mariner game on Sunday night. Well you can imagine how bummed I was to say the least. What a generous thought for them to invite us. Maybe next time.

Sorry we were not able to "hook up" with the fellow OHNOZONERS at lunch. I will close for now. Pictures to follow.
I will submit my perspective on the Chicago dinner soon.
