Thank you Mizz for the great coverage of the event. I watched quite a bit of the beforehand – listened to the ocean and loved the red carpet.
I’m avoiding as much of the rest of it as I can because I want to watch it on the 19th. I’m avoiding Twitter as much as possible.
One week from tonight!!
I can hardly wait!
Thanks Mizz for posting all of the cool stuff going on:) I hope to meet all of you attending SOTB at one of the events. Please come and say hi if you see me:) Wish you were coming Mizz! Hope to see you soon, Aloha, Wendie
I would love to meet up with you when I do make it over, Wendie. Have a great time – I look forward to your (spoiler-free
) blog post!
Thank you Mizz. This year’s SOTB is more popular than last. There will be tons of people there! It’s so exciting. Best wishes and good luck to the cast and crew for another very successful season!
This is terrific information; Mahalo Nui Loa, Mizz
Are you attending SOTB?
Is the live stream from Hawaii News Now going to include the actual episode?
No Zoe, I’m not. Are you heading back home for it or are you still in Florida?
Good question about the screening – although HNN writes “we will live stream the whole event right here at HawaiiNewsNow.com,” I doubt that they would include the actual episode. For licensing reasons they wouldn’t be able to do that as the live stream is viewable worldwide. Most likely their coverage will end when the screening starts and perhaps they’ll pick it up again afterwards.
That’s what I figured; read the article where Peter was quoted about leaking plots, agree w/him about owing this to the people of Hawaii. His biggest concern is leaking the last part; maybe they should have written the ending differently if it was such a concern, it will get leaked.
Will know Wednesday if I can fly; would go either Friday or Saturday. Saturday would have to go straight to event. As this is #1 on my bucket list; may have to wait till next month to go back. If I stay in FL will stream for sure; watched the entire blessing that way. Thanks again Mizz.
