What did everybody else get???

I got Sunburned!

Annnnnnnd...
i got a King Okole "watering can" (my life is complete...)
A Squid pendant
a "Ruzic Mug" drawing by GROG,complete with all the of motifs I've been working with(including the infamous squirrels!)
a pdrake pendant
some fun conversation and a giant joke with the impeccable Mr. Horne
some THOR coffee(thanks THOR! Glad i finally got to meet you!)
5 items from Ben's $5 Bin! (thanks Ben!)
the new Tiki Magazine
2 Hotdogs (plain)
hawaiian shave ice
a sucker from Chongolio(cause the pseudophed gave me total drymouth!)
the chills (from my sunburn)
a headache (either from only having 1 coffee or else not drinking enough water)
insightful and wonderful dialogues with so many cool folks
a tiki Bumper Sticker from WOOHOO!
lotsa smiles,hugs,and giggles
but the bestest thing I "got" was how much of a family this TC Ohana is!
Just the friendliness and warmth everyone generated was really special!
Setup was great,everyone was hustling and bustling,helping each other out,and bro-ing down,and seeing such an amazing collection of talent and passion was really really outstanding! It's weird that Don Ho died that day...I would hope that on the way to Heaven, that he was able to fly thru our humble parking lot Sale and see the love and Aloha that he himself helped to spread.I think that would have gave him a final smile before the start of his final vacation...
Thanks everyone! Especially Squid for playing Tag Team smoker's lung with me! He wore a hat! he was the smart one!And thank you to all the people who took a painting,book,or print home! It was a blast signing the backs of the Mug prints with stuff like "See you next Summer!" "TLA""UR 2 Good 2B Forgotten" "Go Vikings" (as in Danville Vikings-my High School team!) and "Seniors Rock!" Total Yearbook Action!
Dave also started a "trend" by signing mugs backwards....that way you can look at yourself in the mirror with your prized mug and still be able to read the signature!
Genius! Pure Genius!
Speaking of Genius......
Thank you a million times Holden! You really know how to strengthen the bonds of this crazy Tiki family! It's fun to watch you in "Action-Mode"! You would've made a Great World War 2 General! Awe-inspiring!
Can we do this twice a year? :wink:
