Aloha,

Hot Rod Hula Hop 5, originally scheduled for August 7th and 8th, is being postponed. New dates have not been set but "The Hop" will not be held in 2009.

Everyone here in the islands is disappointed about this turn of events but several factors beyond the control of the Moai made a postponement necessary.

Stay tuned here for updates on The Hop and other future events and be sure to save the dates for OHANA: Luau at the Lake which will be held September 18-20, 2009, in lovely Lake George, NY.

Keep the torches burning,

—Tagata Maori Rogorogo
