Carole, will you please tell me what a Haka is? Or should I wait until my crew get back and find out from them?

Carole, will you please tell me what a Haka is? Or should I wait until my crew get back and find out from them?
It is a tribal dance, by our indigenous people here in NZ, the Maoris, used as a greeting or challenge, our famous rugby all black team perform one before they play, although it has caused some controversy to say the least, i really cannot understand why?
So the girls went to classes to learn and do it for you as a greeting of course.
If you go to www.youtube.com you can see one performed.,type in Maori Haka and then you will see the link and you can see it.
Aye, 'twill be a bittersweet New Year's Eve in some ways! We kitties had a very special dinner reservation this evening...we just left the Tavern on the Green-a wonderful restaurant-on it's last night of business. It's been a NYC institution for a very long time I hear. We felt very honored....
Now on to New Year's Rockin' Eve, which starts at 10pm, for the rest of the festivities! We have a very special place there as well, as special guests of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony.
Happy New Year to all our purrents - be safe - we love you!

WOW!!!!! Carole, I watched a couple of the YouTubes, one being done by the rugby team..
I would LOVE to see the kitty-girls doing that!
Carole, I watched the Haka and the one by the rugby team. Very impressive and I'm sure your girls did very well. Thanks for sharing!
Got a message from Groucho. The Catmobile crew is having a great time at the hockey game in Boston. Bob, Elmer, and the Catada kitties were thrilled when both teams invited them to join in on the warm-up practice before the game started. Cassie and Sparkler joined Samantha, Daisy and Lexie in cheerleading and they were a huge hit. They're really enjoying the game while filling their tummys with cheesesteaks and New England chowder. After the game they'll meet with the teams then head back to New York City to see a few more sights. The dinner cruise on the Hudson River Line is scheduled for tomorrow. Everyone is having a wonderful time and they'll be heading home in a few more days.
Damn, I’m just now out of my box - are there any shrimps left?
I think I missed something important. :( I so would have preferred to spend New Years Eve with you all, but I can do without the fireworks, thank you!

Oh, Fister, I wondered where you were!! I missed you and your little backpack! You would have had a great time in Boston - we all loved it! New Year's Eve, though - WOW!! It was CRAZY!! We met up with some of our horsie friends - they helped us get through the maze - and were delivered safely to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's private space. It was so nice of them to invite us! We watched all the performances, the craziness of the crowd, and the fireworks! Then we were delivered safely back to the Catmobile for the trip to Boston. Now we're back in NYC and getting ready for the Hudson River trip! It's cold, we really have to bundle up, but it'll be great fun!
We'll be coming home tomorrow, purrents, see you soon!
Purrs,
Pinot

Hi fellow kitties,
Did we have a blast or what?!? I'm so happy that all of you were able to make the trip. The Catmobile is back at the Jaguar dealer and the service manager said his crew will start checking it out so it will be ready when we plan our next trip.
Meowmie was so jealous when I told her we were with Marc Anthony, she likes how he sings. I reminded her that we get VIP treatment every place we go.
When I arrived home there was a surprise waiting for me. Soncat completely rearranged his room and a few of my best hidey spots are gone. That's okay though, he gave me a brand new bed in there. It's ultra comfortable but it's so cold in Trenton that I still go under the comforter with him.
Nikkita and Lexie, thank you for teaching us the Haka dance! Please be sure to join us on future Catmobile trips. Fister, we missed you! Don't worry, you're definitely in on the next one.
Well, I have an early day in Cat Court tomorrow and must get into my new bed. Thanks to all of you for coming and making our trip so much fun. Also a very special thank you to all the Meowmies that made sure we had all that wonderful food.
If any of you get any ideas for another Catmobile adventure, be sure to post in and let us know. Looking forward to seeing all of you again.
Your friend,
Groucho
Would you like to come to Chicago in February, kitties? The new 101 Dalmatians Musical will be here, or we could take in the Joffrey Ballet "Cinderella". Maybe you want to plan your return to the Windy City when the weather is more reliable, though.
P.S., Sophie, my meowmie got Chapstick on the monitor trying to give you a kissie (post #49)! She hopes you felt it all the way in Guatemala.
Cassie (and Mom), I think you're forgetting something! The Catmobile has some plans in February...Quote:

Pinot, thank you so much for reminding my human where I will be this February! Chicago isn't very nice that time of year anyway. Better to be in beautiful Catada.
