What a day! The weather gods weren't in our favor but ultimately come Tikiyaki time, it got pretty nice out! And today it's like 75 degrees outside... missed it by that much!

Giant Mahaloz to Dibroc, Paula, Jorge & Sharon (my Ohana), Lupe, Michelle & Stacy Iniguez, Gary (DJ Lava Flow), Kate for arriving early & helping out, the many awesome vendors and all who attended this great event! Also a special surprise mahalo to a guy who I see a lot but forget his name... the red-haired kilt wearing fellow w/Ho-Dad Hank. I caught him out of the corner of my eye a couple of times picking up trash & then folding up chairs... very appreciated & a nice guy!

Okay, the Tikiyaki Orchestra...

I'm going to be honest in that generally, I can only take about 3-4 tracks of "Exotica" before I have (need) to mix it up a bit... that's just my personal taste in terms of my music listening pleasures. Having said that... THESE GUYS KICKED ASS!! There is something about their sound that is unlike any other bands playing this same vein of music. I am no musician but as best as I can tell is that the combination of their phenomenal, mutual skills and just the way they attack this style of music & how clean & layered it was... trust me that when the occassion arises and schedules permitting, Tiki Farm will gladly host an event that is 100% centered around the Tikiyaki Orchestra!! My most sincere gratitude is due these awesome cats! If Otto has for any reason some last minute cancellations, he'd be smart to bring in the T.O. to the T.O.! See, now they even have their own new abbreviation - THEY'RE THAT GOOD!

T.O.... are you guys gonna get together for a studio cd anytime in the future? I sure hope so!

Who was that guy that showed up with the Tikis mid-day? Did he really take out his tailgate with one that fell out of the back of his truck?
