We didn't make it to Cabo in time for New Year's this year got stuck in Maui - ha ha! Stayed for a fundraiser with Alice Cooper, his bass player Chuck Garric, Michael McDonald, Pat Simmons (Doobie Brothers), Hawaii's Willie K, Bob Rock and Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)!!! Quite the little jam for a few hundred special folks.

The cantinas were also all rocking! I can't believe the pictures from Vegas look like Woodstock revisited.

Emeril's Annual  Carnival Du Vin raised over $3 million last night. Our package went for 85K & at the last minute Jonathan Cain from Journey came onboard to add to the musician lineup.

Food was outstanding, the cocktails and wine were outstanding, and Jose Andres, the person to Kari's left when she has the hat on is a riot and he's one of my favorite chefs in the world.

Emeril was on fire with Chris Wilson and the staff from all the chefs' restaurants, it was amazing!! Hard to leave and come home, I love the big easy.
