~~<p>MY 80TH-BIRTHDAY party Oct. 26 at <a span="" style="color: #0000FF;" target="_blank" href="http://bit.ly/snLEcC">Neiman Marcus’ Mariposa</a> was full of fun, warmth, dear friends, good food, wine, women, song and love. What more could a geezer ask for?</p>
<p>The versatile Kimo Kahoano, a triple threat who can sing, dance and act, was a champ as emcee. He introduced performers and talked about my years writing about Hawaii’s entertainers. He danced “Boy from Laupahoehoe,” too. Performers included Jimmy Borges, Kristian Lei (shown at right), Danny Kaleikini, Mihana Souza, Kanoe Cazimero, Cha Thompson and Leilani Kupahu-Marino.</p>
