Had a great time yesterday for the timexpo trip. Was nice to meet Tiki Mortis & his wahine Nicole, and good to see Pappy & johnman again.

As far as the exhibit is concerned, I think we were all a little disappointed with the content (or lack thereof). It was interesting, and we got see most fo the KonTiki movie in the video kiosk, but I just wish there had been more stuff!! Also, they no longer sell the kon tiki or moai watches (which was another reason I had for the trip)

On the plus side, we had a great time pre-museum, snacking & having cocktails. Maybe even a little too good of a time, as we got there 5 minutes after the museum closed and I had to sweet talk our way in!

Pappy brought a nice bottle of Meyers, Johnman's dip was excellent (and thanks for the appleton) and Mortis brought some pimento liquor! I'm already scouring the Grog log & Intoxica for more recipies that call for it. Had a few Ancient Mariners last night (pg 16 of your grog log)...pretty tasty drink! Thanks again to all!

Got a few pics of the gang, and the 7 or 8 pics of the museum pretty much show the whole thing. If you're in the area, its worth stopping by, but I cant reccomend going out of your way for it.

The only pic I didn't get that I wish I did, was of Johnman & Pappy rocking out on the plastic guitars!! Next time. anyway, on with the pics....

Pappy caught off guard & johnman chillin in the bar

The Moai outside the Timexpo museum

Entrance to the Kon Tiki part of the museum

A few inside the Museum...

And that pretty much summed it up.

I think we're gonna make it to the HuKeLau on Valentine's Day after all, so hopefully we'll see everyone there!
