This weeks MVOW snuck in at the last minute. Jimi Hendrix has been the flavor of the month amongst the UU staff and when facemeltingukulele (Jason Arimoto) posted his cover of Little Wing, he grabbed, nay, snatched the V.O.W. honors away from another forum member. “Give me that!” *snatch*
Once again, keep posting your videos in the forum. It doesn’t have to be in the VOW thread, it can be in the videos and links board too. We love seeing the submissions from all over the world.

There are so many things that have happened/ are happening I thought I’d just post a quick update.
NukeDOC (a.k.a. Arvin) organized the first ever Ukulele Underground Meet up and it took place this past weekend in San Diego. There was a great turn out and it looks like everyone there had a good time. Thanks Nuke for setting it up! Hope to see UU meetups all over the world!
To See the rest of the pictures from the night, check out the A.A.R. (After Action Report) Thread in our forums.
There is also a video of the night on youtube provided by mcarreon89.
Forum member menehunenyc has claimed his prize and will be receiving a brand new Kala KA-S ukulele in the mail shortly. bjunkins and aceman09 our runners up will be receiving t-shirts as prizes for being runner-ups.
Don’t get too down on yourself if you didn’t win this uke, we have more contests coming up in the very near future. Or, you could always enter the ‘Pay it Forward Contest’ on Julie’s ukulelereview.com site. She is our first sponsor by the way so please show her some love.
The T-shirts have been ordered and should be here in Hawaii in a couple of weeks. We’ll start sending them out as soon as we get them.
We ordered some stickers last night to give away. We’ll probably post something in the forums later to announce how you can get one.
Super Excited about this. I don’t know if it’s ever been done before but the UU forum is attempting the first ever LIVE internet open mic. So far we got a great line up of participants including,
puremarkska
Ukulele_Junkie
strongergodzilla
nukeDOC
BUGOY
davoomac
dafamcallsmebj
tsud123
seeso
Dominator
We’re still setting the date and time, but it should be a lot of fun when it happens! Be sure to check out the thread for more details.
That’s about it for now! Thank you everyone for your support for the Ukulele Underground. We are making big things happen together!

Alright all you crazy children, here it is! This month’s UU Lesson is one to make all you 80’s and 90’s kids squeal with delight - TETRIS!
Ok, actually there is really no song named ‘Tetris’ but you know the one we’re talking about …
So fire up the old-skool-gameboy-light-up-magnifying-attachment-thingy on the ukulele portion of your brain, ’cause we’re about to get bizzay.
For those of you who, for reasons unbeknownst to us, prefer to read the tabs, our very own UU Forum members davoomac, Ikaru, and Woodshed have tabbed out their versions of this song in a nice neat post for all to enjoy. (You’ll have to log in to view the Tabs section).
Have fun having this one stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
