We just received some bad news we wanted to share.

I'm sure those of you that attended Hukilau 2002 in Atlanta remember the amazing performance of the great surf band The Penetrators on Friday night and on Sunday at the Starlite Drive In. http://www.penetrators.com

We just found out yesterday that the lead guitarist, Scott Rogers, also known by his stage name Rip Thrillby, died on Sunday from injuries he suffered in a car accident early Sunday morning in Atlanta. Unfortunately he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. He was a huge support system for Hukilau 2002 and taught us how not to sweat the small stuff. He will be greatly missed.

Here are some photos from the great performance as the Penetrators played on the rooftop of the consession stand on the last night of the Hukilau at the Starlite Drive-In in Atlanta.


Yee-Haw & Aloha,

The World of Tiki Kiliki
