WikiWiki on Alki: The weather is changing for the good... so it's time to look forward to our usual ukulele fun on Alki Beach (our imaginary bit of Wikiki Northwest). We'll plan for our first Jam on June 3rd, the first Sunday of June. But, only if Mr. Sun joins us. As the date gets close, look to the skies for a bright glow and a bit of warmth, or keep your eyes on this page. ...KEEP CHECKING BACK.
		We're almost on the beach. More like Anchor Park on the way to the beach on Alki. For you history buffs, Anchor Park is located at the beginning of the old Luna Park site at the most northern point of Alki. As long as the summer sun stays out and warms our almost golden sands, we''ll gather the first Sunday of each summer month, weather permitting. Remember to bring your music stands and if the wind picks up bring a few of those trusty clothes pins to hold your music in place. There are stationary benches available, but some might want to bring a camping chair or cushion for comfort. The park does have a drinking fountain... but, we're about a half-mile to a mile and a half away from any food or other beverage source, so if you want something to eat or drink - bring it in a tote. (Sorry to say, the bathrooms are about the same distance). I'll be working up a special WikiWiki beach song book for our gatherings and I'll bring a several copies to pass around. In the near future you'll be able to download a copy like all of the other WikiWiki song books. This Jam is open to everyone, even if you're a beginner... come on down. It's always fun to play with a crowd and it will be good practice. I'll have plenty of ukuleles to borrow if anyone needs one. So no excuses. When: Always the first Sunday of each month. Our first gathering is planned for June 3rd, weather permitting. Where: Anchor Park on the way to Alki Beach. There should be plenty of parking on the street. For an adventure take the Water Taxi from Pier 50 in Seattle. After it docks, it's a short half-mile walk to Anchor Park or you can catch the Water Taxi bus #775 for free. After a 15-minute senic ride through the Admiral district it stops at the bus stop in front of Anchor Park. See this handy map or look for the rusted Anchor. How much: It's FREE! You can't beat that.
