Had a great second trip to LA for a whole mess o' goodies last week. Came down on Tuesday and met with the good men of mighty Munktiki, as well as another surprise stop. The mug for Oasis VI is a real beauty- you'll want to get your hands on those.

Big mahalos to the fabulous Tiki Bird & Utopian Dream for showing me some wonderful hospitality in the southland. The beer, food and futon were all superb!

Wednesday I got to live the dream and spend four hours at OA shopping til I dropped. Bob, Leroy, and Susan took such good care of me and made the trip a real pleasure that I'll never forget. Then some more shopping and great to see The Velours for dinner as well. Got a treat from Johhny V for ol' FI as well! And where has Old Tony's on the pier been all my life?

Thursday was an adventure into the nether regions of San Pedro and Wilmington with my own Tenzing Norgay, Polynesiac. Thanks a million to him for leading me into some of the spookiest warehouses full of nautical bric a brac I've ever seen. Crazy stuff! Much of which will make it to the walls of Forbidden Island.

Anyway, it was a great trip and FI is really shaping up to blow some minds.

Mahalo everyone!
