ARTY! ARTY! ARTY! I am so glad that you found your way over here. "Twist and Shout" was captured on tape, by the way. Now hopefully your buddy with the big hat (whose lovely wife was in a motherly way) will register too. You are somethin else and I hope to see you guys again soon.

I think it might have been King Curtis who first discovered the ice-bucket-as-rasp technique. They were these nice, lucitesque buckets with ridges from top to bottom in our rooms. It was demonstrated that a stick (or backscratcher) dragged along the length of it in a certain rhythm would make people want to sing "Quiet Village". Or mumble it at least, because who knows the friggin lyrics?

When the CC Riders came into the party, they were bombarded with the "If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake" song shtick that Kukulele introduced. Little Catalina had this look on her face like, "What the f***?!" It was priceless. What an adorable little girl.

AlnShely are to be admired for the completeness of their bar. They even had little mermaids and monkeys to go along with the umbrella garnishes - cocktail peanuts, too. Al is quite the talented mixologist.

I was happy to meet Trader Pup at last, and it was fun to see Miehana Tiki again. I got a neato set of tiki hair ornaments from Robin Velour that I am thrilled about.

Lemme add thanks to Otto, Casey, Charlie, Sven and Kevin and Jody!
