I've been afraid to say anything for fear of being declared a fire hazard and being pointed to the exit. But I now realize I am safely out of Newport Beach and no longer repressed by the Orange Curtain! So, here is my rambling thoughts & thanks:

Mahalo to Bamboo Ben & the Mrs. for being great hosts to the pre and post crawl gathering, and for making me a bamboo dickhead!

Mahalo to Bong for setting it up and securing us the bus!

Mahalo to PolyPop for his cruise director efforts, keeping us well herded and on schedule!

Mahalo to the Smoking Menehunes for some awesome entertainment! (Where'd you find Shirley? She is great!)

Mahalo to Chongolio for the cool commemorative T-shirts offered!

Mahalo to Alnshely for all their support efforts!

Mahalo to Wierduncletiki for entertaining us throughout the crawl! (and Shirley too!)

Mahalo to all who contributed to the potluck feast and cocktails!

Mahalo to Andy the bus driver for putting up with us for the night!

Mahalo to everyone for making the whole evening awesome!

Bong, when is the official TC lynching of the guy who recommended Billy's as a crawl stop?

It was nice meeting you, Laney! It was great having a face to face chat with the feisty fox herself!

As small and noisy as the Royal Hawaiian bar is, they were very accommodating. And it was amazing seeing the bartender making over a dozen lapu lapus at once! (anyone get a pic of those lined up on the bar?)

I won't go into the whole Billy's thing, 'cause I just know one of those little blonde bitches is hiding out in the bushes waiting to attack!

And what can I say about Sam's? The place is just great! They always welcome our group with smiles!

I'll stop rambling now, as my mind is occupied with trying to figure out why my aloha shirt pocket was filled with leaves...
