More pictures, but I've already thrown out half of mine because Zaya's were better. I took some fisheye photos, but still need to top off the roll so they's ain't coming soon.

The first one is of everyone's favorite TCer, Billy the Crud. Here he is flying through a log, I think there's gonna be a Tiki on both sides of this one;

And explaining the fine points to a slightly disbelieving Babalu:

The booth, and Clyde answering questions by telling everyone that we carve Queen Palm with regular kitchen knives:

The pensive artiste:

Da boys, you'll have to ask HIM what he's doing with that stick:

They're trying to make a point to the local news team, but, but...

From one mad hatter to another, nice hats!

My favorite exhibit, the extremely little grass shack:

Miss Seashell by the Seashore:

I Miss these Misses Seashell by the Seashores:

Up on stage - these guys are a High School Uke group! Yay!

Now you have to realize the whole PIFA event is all based around electing a Miss PIFA of 2007. She gets a scholarship, lots of prizes, a free trip to Hawaii, a new car, a washing machine, you name it. And they base the judging on one single thing: how well she can HULA. That's it. I thought it was sort of funny as well, until I saw these women hula. And I'm here to testify that there ain't no better way of handing out scholarships than simply picking the best hula dancer.

This girl was the queen from last year, and man could she dance. Most of it was in the hands, and she painted pictures with those hands.

And this is the new queen, of 2007; she's got a whole different style,

Second to watching Buzzy sharpen chisels, the most popular booth by far was the SPAM VAN. The Van O' SPAM. If you were camping out in this, it would be the SPAM Van de Camp.

They were giving out free Spamburger samples and Spam Beach Balls!!!! I didn't get one!!!!

This guy was real interested, and now we all know what it feels like to have tourists looking at us like we're in a zoo. It was kind of like a Lost In Space episode. That's FlyBoy limbering up to the left, and my Danger Mask below to the right.

Hey, anyway, that was my favorite Chop! Thanks, Buzz Tiki Guy Lord Master of All He Chops! Long may you Scare Trees!

Anyway, are there more pictures?! There was so much stuff going on. I'll post the whole story of the Kava Score of the Century later. It was a well oiled team effort. Billy provided the oil, shall we say. Everybody else provided the effort. (Kidding!)...
