Well, I finally made it to Tiki Central after what I have to say was one of the best times I've had in recent memory ... umm ... make that haze of drunken forgetfullness! I enjoyed meeting all of you, even the ones who weren't expecting a "random with abandon" to elbow his way into the sanctum sanctorum of all that is tiki, shirtless (and sometimes pantsless), carrying a flaming monkey bowl as communion chalice and a pineapple wafer, a dirty vicar at that, full of booze drenched confidence and ... oh, whatever! You get the drift!

I just want to say thank you to absolutely everyone I met last weekend. I think you're probably the most enjoyable group to be around that I've met in a long time and I'm hoping I'll see you again soon -- maybe even at Oasis if Otto gives me a volunteer spot and I can afford a place to stay. Any offers? I promise to keep my pants on unless asked to remove them...

Thanks Mai Tai for all the pics. You seem to have captured the essence of my time spent with you all, though in my memory I don't remember looking so drunk, sweaty and bloated. Oh, and the demonic red-eye was a good one too. Thanks for that close up! It was well worth wading through those pics, though, to get to the gem -- HumuHumu riding that giant schlong. It's on my hard drive right now and will forever be part of my system backups.

I wish I could ramble on here and thank everyone individually, cuz lord knows I love to talk ... (well, just one -- Seamus, thanks again for not getting upset that I kept hitting on your wife, but as you know she does have cute toes!) ... Anyway, I've got to get to work for da man so I can afford the next flaming monkey bowl.

Peace out to all the tiki peeps!
