has it actually been a week?

well, first of all, thank you to all the ohana that showed up in suport of the event!!! you WERE there at the #1 mondo event.

and thanks especially to those who helped make it work behind the scenes:

  • tiki hai for decor (with some help by our infamous chikitiki)
  • matteo for general everything
  • humuhumu and naomi for bag stuffing and much more...
  • tiki todd hackett
  • la webchick for promo
  • smogbreather, baby doe, otto, and swanky for mucho mentoring
  • dave and rebecca and the purple orchid crew for pouring da booze (including our own lady velour behind the bar)
  • dr. z and dolphin girl for correcting the rally - i never did thank them publically - so thank you guys (my prize capitan went and got himself nicely toasted - so the giveaways went a little differently than expected.)
  • sam gambino for the swell invites
  • shag for the swell glasses
  • the tiki central vendor contingent: frank and tiki farm, tiki madness, falling cocos, sneaky tiki
  • the tiki central entertainment contingent: king kukulele and c.b. howlie, gorilla x, lee joseph, senor amor, winky tiki and his gurls, cherry capri
  • casey at the Caliente Tropics for being so generous with their prizes.
  • and many many other folks who i am sure i have forgotton to include... thank you to all...

NOW here are my official "campaign promises" for next year (yes, there might indeed be a next year).

MONDO 2005:
(i don't want to turn this thread into a critique thread - so if you have feedback or suggestions - please email me or PM me...)

  • shorter rally route.
  • reward the top five rally winners.
  • nicer official hotel with friendlier service (find the Casey Jones of L.A.!)
  • 2nd stage with better view lines to the adoring public
  • keep the early bird discount for smart advanced buyers!
  • consider breaking up the event into a daytime and nighttime ticket to make it more selectively affordable OR make it a multi-day event for the price.
  • try to find a 'name' performer for the event.
  • try to find a way to add more performers to the bill.
  • add cool ephemeral gilms to the event

MONDO! MONDO! MONDO!
