I think he's the one told me, "Okay, you g- you gonna arrive in Honolulu.

You go to the last floor, you take, uh, the bus, I think 32 to Ala Moana Center, and then we're gonna get to Central t- uh, Train sta- uh, Bus Station there.

And then we're gonna get the bus, I think 50-something, to go to the North Shore."

[laughs]

I did that.

I got out, went up to the top floor, got the bus.

I remember getting to Ala Moana Center.

Like I was just saying, that is some people point me out, "Okay, that's where you go, you know, to get the bus stops." That because I don't know if still today there, but it was a lot of bus stops on the, uh-

Kobayashi Group and Black Sand Capital still haven't said why they sought a 90-day delay in filing for zoning exemptions for a planned hotel on the Macy's side of Ala Moana Center.

The deadline was to have been this week.

The 90-day delay postpones the city council vote until after the election.

That's all I remember.

And then doing more research about her, I didn't realize that she has her large scale installation at the Ala Moana Center at the Ewa Wing called the pumpkin.

It's like this six foot tall sculpture, bronze sculpture of a pumpkin with polka dots.

And apparently that's her signature is not just the polka dots, but the pumpkin itself.

That's a very thoughtful description of her work.

I had no idea there was more significance behind her polka dot.

And for those who haven't seen her work quite yet, other than at Ala Moana Center, Yayoi's work is going to be exhibited at Homa's upcoming exhibit called Vital Connections, Art and the Brain.

And what people are going to see is a screen print, which is a composition of Kusama's trademark black dots in an orange background.
