Re: Archi-medes!

speaking of the Hula....during the Innagural Hawaii regional this year we had an unbelievable free Luau Friday night with lomi lomi salmon, Kalua pig, and Poi. Many teams, including 25 from Jersey, were called up on stage to do the Hula. I'm sure there are blackmail photo's out there somewhere! Someone from team Pink won a poi chugging contest. It was an unreal regional even for the teams from here so if you guys can make it out here this far next year you'll get to do plenty of Hula! We've been asking if the Luau will be a regular part of the event, its worth the price over here alone.
Although we have several students with Hawaiian Ancestry I'm not sure if any of them will be doing the Hula in Atlanta?? We will have our Hula skirts on so we'll see.....
