Just got back in from the Waldorf (yeah, we 'old folks' made an early night of it, since we need to be up early tomarrow).

All I can say is Vancouver has outdone itself! This was worth every mile/km from MD, every bit of nonsense, and every bit of pushing onward instead of being 'responsible grown ups' and heading home.

Today was just fantastic, and it's all due to the Tikiphiles from far and near who put all the effort that went into making today so wonderful; from the early get together at our place (with rum), to Funhauser- with Rum and Tikis galore, (and all the AMAZING artists and their goodies! So great to meet those responsible for all that amazing work!), to Raglands, who bore up under the strain of MANY hungry and oh, so thirsty Tikiphiles, to the Waldorf- which defies all words!, and on to the bands themselves!

Yes, we got to explore the inner depths of the Waldorf's many rooms- including the downstairs. MANY pictures to follow from many different folks I hope!

I personally, think the Waldorf should be uttered among the great Tiki names- not only such an extensive layout, but the condition it's in- un-updated- truely a time capsule. The mural in the downstairs room alone is truely a treasure beyond compare!

I have two words for Vancouverites- annual event.

If you build it, they will come! The hospitality by local Tikiphiles and the venue are soooo worth the trip!

MAHALO!
