Rice Festival - 9/11/2011

Between the two Fashion shows at Ala Moana, I had almost 2 hours to kill so I decided it was a good chance to walk to Magic Island to check out the 2nd Annual Rice Festival and the record breaking Giant Musubi.
When I got there, they were starting to wrap up the musubi, which was shaped like a twin size matress.

upon closer inspection, it was covered w/ a layer of Spam.
I checked out the taiko group performance.  The sun was super strong.
I also happen to also catch Bruce Shimabukuro's (Jake's brother) performance.
I was planning to leave and then I saw people start to measure the musubi.
It looks like it's almost 69 inches long.
I even saw Mr. Gohan who was 'hamming' it up for the camera....or maybe 'spam'?
On my way back to the mall, I wanted to take some shots for 'things are looking up' theme.
It was hot!!
By the way, my 50D was in for repairs because I was getting the Canon version of BSOD ('Blue Screen of Death'..hmm, I wonder why the screen of death is always blue anyways?).  It cost me $188 to repair and I got it back within 2 weeks.

Man, that is one Big musubi. Wonder what they did with it afterwards. That ukulele guy looks like Bruce, Jake's brother.
