With all the superior brain power out here in TIKI land. HOW, can we start to make International TIKI Day truley on the books and calendars of the entire World? Does anyone know where to get started? Who do we contact? United Nations? And maybe if that is to big we can just start with (no offense to anyone outside our open borders) United States Tiki Day or Orange County Tiki Day? Then we could build from there. I really would love it if I went to the book store and bought my 2006 calendar and on the 2nd Sat. in August it said something about TIKI !!!!! And as far as the founder of ITD, when we find the person truley responsible for this glorious day we will embrace them and hold them in the highest regard ! (no way it's Bong) To end your pain, I say Thank you to our hosts Al and Shelly! This year I was truley blessed with enjoying the best possible group of friends a person could ask for. From 3 pm until 2 am it was conversation with long time friends and Tiki peeps I had just met for the first time. It was entertainment like nowhere else in the world. I laughed until I cried and I marveled at the improvement and confidence that the The Smokin' Menehunes have gained. (they are truley world class now) I was WOWed by swaying hips young and old. Food and drink found nowhere else in the world (there are some very talented chefs in our group) And drinks (since I myself do not drink I can only go by what I saw)they were making everyone so "happy" they must have been great !! Tent city was another smash operation (thank God there are some Scouts in the crowd). The Uke Bongo mouth buzzer jambs were the best I have ever witnessed. But one thing that still brings a tear to my eye is watching my dear friend Al k. as happy as I have ever seen him. The huge smile that was on his face as he turned to flip me off(in a good way)is what I will always remember about this International Tiki Day. Thanks again Al and Shelly and all those that helped out. And thank you, you bunch of outa-whack wierdos that make up Tiki Central. You are FAMILY !!
