Wowsers.
What a great time!
Pulled in kinda late, threw on some old jacket that I had :wink: and ran on in.

Thanks to all for putting on such a soireé, Geoff and Marian, and thanks to the bunch for the faboo party room. Must have been kinda odd for people with adjoining walls to hear the sweet strains of ukeleles (and an odd beeping Casio noise) coming through till the wee hours. Betcha they didn't know the room came with a free concert...

• Flounder, hope you had a nice nap on the beach. Good thing fiddler crabs don't like rum or else you might never have made it back alive.
• Thanks to the Kats, Pablus and Scott for the great tunes.
• Pablus (King of the Barrel Drinks), you are my own personal, but smaller, Iz. You look great man, and sound wonderful, so sublime! Thanks for the "rabbit ears" in the group pic. Brought me back to my years as a Playboy bunny. If you made it all the way back to Tampa that night without a nap, you are my hero. Either that or I have narcolepsy and I like the ambiance of rest stops...
• Bree, Trader Trick and Martini are forever a welcome combo to be around!
• Tiki Kiliki, the CD made the drive quite bearable on the way home. Thank you! (PM me the playlist, will ya?)
• Seeing Karbora ooze jealousy at the mere mention of Neptune's Witco was a sight to see, but we are all friends here, and envy isn't one of the worst deadly sins, is it? Wonderful to meet you, Kim, and I'm sure we will run into each other while thriftin'. Maybe between the two of us, we can tap into the undeniable power of Kono in making some great finds in our own backyard...
• Chip and Andy, nice to meet you, wished I had been in on the thrifting excursions everyone was talking about, but maybe next year...
• Always good to see Ali'i again, you seemed to be having a huggable good time!
• Ah, I Dream of Tiki, always scrumdelicious... Wow, that sounded kinda creepy, sorry about that. I was talking about the rum cake.
• The Neptunes were great to see again, sorry I didn't have any Witco for ya this time. I'm always looking, but I may have to fight Kim for it now.
• Tikilicious and Steve, it was great to see you both, just wish we could have chatted some. The Casio was like a warning beacon though, keeping me on the periphery.
•Humuhumu, missed ya this year. PLEASE try and make the next one!

Next year, I have to eat at Julians!
AND
I am buying a black light to see exactly which ensemble will glow the best in the warm glow of Wayne and Teauila's stage. I'm thinking of making a small trophy we can give out to whomever puts off the most god-awful glow.

Thanks to all!
Jon
