Cabo Wabo Xmas IV

It's another Cabo Wabo Xmas for the Cayco family! This year, the de Joyas & Chuidians were joined by Miko, Bea, and Monica. Yep, it was a full(er) house this year!

As usual, everyone gathered on Christmas Eve for a Filipino dinner at Tita Yeyet & Tito Pepeng's house.


Save some for the rest of us, Isa!

Christmas Dinner was held at Chris and Erica's place. Keeping our tradition from last year, the "kids" made the Christmas dinner. Everyone was in charge of their own dishes, but we all chipped in to help each other with the prep work in the morning.

On the Road in October

Russell, Corser, and I took a roadtrip from October 27 through November 2 up the Pacific Northwest to visit his parents in Walla Walla, Washington. The route took us through Bend, Oregon, then Walla Walla, WA, then off to Portland, OR for a few days, then back down through Ashland, OR to California.

Ramping it up

Russell's birthday brunch at The Ramp

Birthday show in Berkeley

Our friends from Ukulele Underground Aldrine Guerrero, Ryan Esaki, and Aaron Nakamura were in the Bay Area to play a show on September 24th, the day before Russell's birthday. Russell was also one of the opening acts, and he recruited his pal Grumpy Coyote to join him onstage for a few songs. What a great birthday gift!




Aldrine puts on an amazing show. Thanks for the opportunity, Aldy!
