Thanks again to everyone who showed the aloha spirit and who helped make this weekend a ton-o-fun. I am now totally homesick for So Cal and all my friends down there. Here are a few of my highlights of this weekend (in no particular order): Surfin' San Onofre for the first time and having a blast. A perfect start to a completly memorable weekend. Stoppin' in at Ona Tiki and Moki's amazing home and being greeted by some of the coolest and nicest people you will ever meet. Spermy showing up at the Cult of the Eye party in his jammies. Whaleriders awesome sense of humor. Talkin' story with King Kukulele in the "ancient chinese secret room." Officially getting introduced by Nick to Eileen from Tiki Magazine after unofficially meeting her in a long line for drinks at the Bali Hai. Dr. Z carryin' a water cooler full of Lapu Lapus around from place to place because the hotel didn't know what to do with a small crowd of tiki freaks. Walkin' into the Hotel on Thursday night and the first person I see is Otto who asks me "What's with the flannel?" I then see Big Tiki Dude walk in a few minutes later sportin' the old school flannel look as well. We then commence to havin' a deep discussion about wearing flannels long before grunge made them popular. The plastic pirate sword fight on the balcony with Doctor Z after both of us being "Keel Hauled" that lead to a sword in his eye, two pirates that fell to thier death and a conversation about the need for a Blunderbuss when engaging in battle with plastic buccaneers. Sabu coming in late and leaving the room early and me sleeping though it all. ( I usually wake up to a bug walkin' on the wall.) Watching TikiBird and Utopian Dream try to throw plastic pirates up to the the third balcony. Digital picture taking goofiness with Jon Paul, Marie, Adam, Erica, Jamie, Big Tiki Dude, Tena, Rudy and Dave at the Bali Hai. Meeting so many new friends I couldnt possibly list them all here and now. Havin' a drink with Conga Mike and Denise at the Bar on Saturday night. (See you at the Forbidden Island soon!) Getting a drink mixed by Shag and getting to keep the mug. (sorry Jeff, I can't let it go Bro. I will pay you for the shirt.) All the music, drinks and laughter that was shared. The Sand Devils, Mai Kai Gents Martini Kings and Ape were all Awesome, The Monkeypod and Keel Hauled were intoxicatingly delicious. All of you folks crack me up to no end, even if y'all give me mounds of grief for drinkin' crappy beer. The Eye of the Cult partys were over the top. Once again my apologize to Dr. Shocker for putting my dirty drunken paws on his new laptop. The security guards trying to ground me and send me to my room as if I was in first grade. (They really were good sports in retrospect.) Jamie's humourous and well though out multimedia shows during the bands on Friday and Saturday night The fun loving and beautiful ladies who know better than too try and take advantage of a drunk monkey. Getting some neato freebie buttons from Dogbytes and Todd. Talkin' with Tony from the Martini Kings and finding out he is also in the mysterious band known as The California Del Reys. BUY THE MARTINI KINGS CD TIKIS & BIKINIS IT IS AWESOME!!! Hangin' out with Kirby, Polly, Polynesiac and Barbara at their booth on Sunday. My sunburned face that is going to be creased with smile line for days to come. Thanks again everybody for contributing to an amazing weekend.
