antiques roadshow
Apr 5 
one of my favorites antiques roadshow moments (from the san diego stop, no less) was about the koa bowl that queen lili'uokalani was purported to have given to a family friend when she was just a princess. well, it turns out that it wasn't really young lili'uokalani and the bowl wasn't really made of koa after all (check out the roadshow's follow the stories for more details) but it was still worth a pretty penny.
all you really need to know if you're a roadshow devotee (and daydream that something in your home is a hidden treasure) is that the show will be stopping in honolulu on saturday, august 26th! you do need to have a ticket to get in the door and your ticket request must be submitted no later than may 6th for a chance (it's a lottery so don't get your hopes up) to attend the summer tour in person.
