Last night was the second-ever Blog Party in honor of resident blogger Stephen Tsai.
Organized by the blog regulars, the party started at 6 p.m. at Ryan's Grill at Ward Center. More than two dozen people showed up — nearly triple the number that came last time to Murphy's Bar & Grill.

About 30 people showed up last night at Ryan's Grill.

The man of honor — Tsai — sandwiched between Al and Dave.
The special guest start last night? UH assistant coach Jeff Reinebold,

Reinebold talked about UH's defensive line, among other things.

Blog regulars got to ask Reinebold anything they wanted — and they did!
Dave, who monitors SportsHawaii.com, was there to present Tsai with the award of 2007 Sports Writer of the Year, as voted by fans online.

Dave even gave diehard UH fan and team volunteer Brian Kajiyama an award, too. Just for being so inspirational.

Also making her debut was Da Punchbowl Kid's new bride, Sweety.

These guys are full-on Tsai fans. Not only do they conduct extensive conversations on his blog, but they genuinely dig each other. And they love Tsai.
