Since we posted the information below, FOS Paul Ogata sent along the following: “I’m determined to salvage my trip by finding a way to make a show happen. Hopefully I can include as many other stranded performers as possible. No promises, but if you’ve already bought tickets, and your flights are nonrefundable, send me a message to www.myspace.com/paulogata and I’ll see what we can muster.”
There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether The Hawaii International Comedy Festival, scheduled for October 1-7, 2006, will eventually happen. We have an email into the organizer inquiring about it. (We’ve heard from more than one source that he’s not answering phone calls. We’ll let you know if/when we get a response.)
We don’t want to panic anyone, but we figured that it would be nice if folks knew one way or the other before pulling the trigger on one of those expensive tickets to the islands. The website still lists workshops, showcases, travel and lodging deals, etc.
If anyone has any information, feel free to put up a comment on the end of this posting.
