Thanks Slacks & Tiki A. Moaikingbird for putting me up (putting up with me?) Exoticat, I loved your account of events. I didn't know I could sing opera, but apparently I can – the photographic evidence proves it. Great pictures everyone. I'm still learning my digital camera & I haven't mastered the art of low light and flash photography with it yet, so many of my pictures from the Waldorf turned out crappy. I'm going to post some galleries later, but in the meantime, here's a few snaps i like. Leaving Calgary Friday evening. My shirt was a gift from Slacks (there are Tikis around the bottom). Somehow Mrs. Ferret managed to take a flattering picture of me (less chins than usual). Ever on the lookout for tropical plants that will survive a brutal Calgary winter, Slacks "examines" a Cana Tropicana (as identified by Tikiwahine) at the Travelodge in Kamloops. What a great thrifting town. We hit up about 8 thrift stores on Saturday morning. Slacks was pumped to find an Outrigger pineapple mug for 2 bucks. I bought a few things including a paint-by-number and some china from a defunct airline (I'll be posting in Tiki Finds and Beyond Tiki Finds in the next few days). We arrived in Vancouver too late to partake in the reception at Funhauser. Bummed to miss an opportunity for free rum! Down the hatch! Glad I got liquored up on Mojitos and Blue Hawaiians at Raglan's because the bar service at the Waldorf wasn't all it could be. Blah blah blah... Waldorf. Scary doorpulls. Lushy. This one turned out not bad. Menehune Room. Tribute to the late owner. The "Up the Skirt" shot on the staircase to the lower rooms. Don't even ask. Casa Gelato. 208 flavors including lavender, basil and Pernod, and garlic. Somehow Tikiwahine manages to choose a flavor they're out of. Made it to Funhauser on Sunday. Trippy! The Commie Chinese Corner. More pics later. It was great to meet you all. I had the bestest time ever & I'm sure going to try to get back next year if there's another event. -Sweet Daddy T. Because crap doesn't buy itself. [ Edited by: Sweet Daddy Tiki 2008-09-18 01:38 ]
