ALOHA!

Summer is beginning to wind down, but we still have time for a weekend luau celebration. Are you ready to hula? Good! Cause from August 24 until the 26th, you can hula non-stop. :D

Here is what you can look forward to this weekend...

Gifting Stump - Send gifts to friends and new friends too!

Profile Game - Dance the hula with your fellow members. Lots of awesome prizes-- can you find them all? Be sure to click every hour to maximize your chances.

Whole Coconuts - MMmmmm, can't have a luau without coconuts! There just might be some new items hiding inside of them too...

Everybody-- Shops, Shops, Shops, Shops, Shops, Shops, Shops - Have you checked out the Site Shops yet?? Lots of luau-themed items and some returning from last year too. :)


The corner icon on an item will let you know if it is 2012 only ("12" in the corner), returning Luau items (just an icon), or here to stay (no icon)! You can also check out the item description for information. :)


We hope you all have fun! Thanks for partying with us!

As I stated last week, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time.
If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :) If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music". It would help me a GREAT deal if you would also include the name of the band and the song with your video clip. I am running into removed videos and I have no way to search w/o information included. Also, If you discover I did NOT use your particular clip It's usually because it isn't available, isn't playing properly or has a long commercial in front of it. I will try to search out a good version when this happens.



Theme for next week is "One Hit Wonders"What does that mean? There once was a great song! The band seemed promising..... WHERE did they go? Oh well.. we have this one song to remember them by! :)
