WHY I LIKED THE SAN FRANCISCO TIKI CRAWL V
by Chongolio.

I liked the SFTC-V because it was fun and i got to see lots of old friends and meet some new ones for the first time. Some people I got to meet for the first time more than once. It was also a pleasure to meet Virani and Tikifish and hear thier accents in person rather than in a post.
There was plenty of good music, dancing and drinks. Some people made fun of me because I was drinking beer but it was OK, because the next morning when they had their head in their hands I still had a beer in mine (and some money in my wallet.)
I also got to go on the most wildest cab rides I have ever been on. I have never seen pedestrians run for there lives before nor have I passed stopped traffic in a parking lane doing 40 mph so we could run the red light. whew!
It was also funny watching the Drunken Hat chase after the bus. He can run a long way but he is not very fast. I think the reason he wanted back on the bus so badly was because Tikicleen was on the bus with an empty seat next to her. He also knew Hula Hula was on the bus!
Other things I liked were Sabu's stories and his Monkey skull necklace. Bill and Maria's fezzes, Seamus's new tikis sculptures, Unga Bunga's Heroic portions of word salad. Monkeyman's monkey bus replete with Monkeyman graphics. Talkin' story by the pool, Shelly's Tiki jammies, Thejabs surf guitar records, Poly Pop and Jungle Traders good natured one upping of one another and Hula Hula undying enthusiasm for all things woman. Even getting stuck in the bathroom on the bus was kinda fun.
Special thanks to everyone who granted me name amnesty and to all who took the time to check out and give feedback on the Kamapua'a book.
One more giant MAHALO to Hanford, Martiki, Mig and Rebecca for all they did to make this a fun and memorable event!
