Wow, what a weekend! Hooptylau is like one of the best Tiki Central events ever! Fo shizzle!!! Much thanks to Scott and Colleen, for all of their efforts and generosity! And to think, they couldn't even drink since they were haulin' our sorry drunk mugs all over the place! Hats off also to Vic and his wife, and to the amazing generosity of Mike and Alia - man, I am still in disbelief of all the wonderful prizes that they donated!

And of course I'm now paying my pennance - I now officially have a full blown cold. Had to call in sick to work today! Hope I didn't spread it around to anyone. Hoopt-Hoopt!!!

I really had a blast hangin' with my homies and gettin' to know some more T.C.'ers as well, like Ookoo Lady and Krustiki (who kept callin' me "Smoky Tiki" due to the Hoopty paraphenelia I was sportin'). Always great hangin' with Dr. Z, Chongolian Beef, Limpy the French Roast Tiki (sacre bleu!!!), Hanford & Humu, Mike & Alia, TikiVixen & Bill, Conga Mike & Denise, Smiley, and everyone else that I can't remember right now. And of course a big Hoopty Doo to Cousin Clem. (Except for that damn Jab. Try as hard as we could to ditch him, and he still turns up for breakfast!)

Geesh, I brought Cuban cigars to smoke, and they went untouched. I wasn't up for smokin' them as I was a little under the weather, but hey guys, next time just dig in! I'll save them for the next event. I'll upload pictures tonight and post them tomorrow. In the immortal words of Hoodsy Owl, I Don't Give A Hoot!!!
