Saturday report, daytime events:

First things first. Thanks Shell in the Pacific for hooking me up with the room crawl list and laminated badge!

Next things next: First symposium, 12:30...Go Go dancing lessons. Excuse me madame, could you point me to the dance lesson room?

Woohoo gets the go go mojo geared up with a good luck go go squeeze.

Baby Doe demonstrated the backstroke move, among many other not-as-complicated-as-you-would-think moves. When she asked us to make up names for "ocean themed" improv dances, she willingly tried out my suggestion for one called "The Barnacle". Man, she can make anything shimmy!

Another ocean themed move is demonstrated: the surfboard...check out Mr. Suave in the background pretending not to look up the Devilette's skirt .

Did you know the "American Ska" move came from Jamaica? I have no idea what I am talking about.

Sometimes Devilettes are so naughty they have to spank themselves while dancing:

We were allowed to take a break and drink water. Coco Loco and Atomikitty fuel up on the H2O. This is when we all realized how hung over we still were and that we were go go dancing in the middle of the million degree heat of a San Diego August.

I think Suzy held up in the sweaty aerobicizing pretty well for a while, but then she turned rabid and tried to attack me with her dance moves

So I recoiled and pulled out my best Drunken-Fisted Monkey-go go technique. This picture even scares ME:

I decided I better eat, and met this fellow, George, who was seated with Tiffany Tigerlily at the sushi bar.

Then I had enough fuel in my tank for shopping! Here is Suzanne just about to sing us her operatic aria "Buy My Flower Barettes to Pay for my College". I did buy one. I hope that helps with tuition!

I met Heather Watts and bought a print! It was her artwork that inspired me to do tiki paintings and sell them out here in California. Thanks, Heather for being one of the few Wahines of Tiki Art!

Thor demonstrated to me how he made his shrunken heads

Look at this thing, it's amazing!

Mark and his fine cut glass mosaics was vending too

Derek and Grog bid a friendly hello

I think Bamboo Ben was trying to tell me I had a phone call

Then I came across Tiki Tony and he was telling me I also had a call on the Hang-Ten phone.

And DJ Lee and his lovely Jamie were there, shoppin'

And then they were spinnin' vinyl in the shade

Not everyone was maxing out their credit cards, some soaked up rays and tunes like Liz here

Trey greets us all from the planet of The Surfside Four...asking "take me to your leader....surf DJ BigTikiDude Jeff"

And Ken was there

and Jeremy

And the kind Gentleman Les, who knocked over my drink last night and immediately bought me another one (thanks again), and then another one the next night. Nice tiki necklace!

Let's have a closeup of that

There was a quiet village of tiki carving going on in the parking lot

There were people out there chippin', and choppin' and burnin' and sandin'

Mieko was carving her little necklaces

I got a group hug from Lisa Lisa and the Krust Jamm...they had just shown up at 4:30 on Saturday.

Ok, enough for now, I'm going back to the madness for the evening, and another room crawl!

I put the "fun" in confusion!
