[Please email your snailmail so I can send you a "thank you" all proper-like, will ya?] In no particular order, Mahalo Nui to: Martiki RikiTikiTavi Paul C. (I've forgotten your TC name - You need to post more!) The Jab midnite_tiki JenTiki DangerGirl BoraBoris Tikitastic Grog Ojaitimo Chongolio Hanford Lamoore CheekyGirl Hiphipahula Tiki-Kate BettyBleu Tai Won On Otto and last, but not least, Princess_P If I've somehow missed you, my apologies. PM me and I'll revise. :) Also, I would like to thank dibroc, JenTiki (again!) and weirduncletiki for supplying goodies for The Winner's Circle. Mahalo!! So, my Photoshop still is sick, but I went and spent time to get a couple of photos together: This one is the FRESH, ready-to-roll Thayer. It was taken at 9:45am on Saturday morning; I'm putting on my dance shoes for the first time that weekend. We had several costume changes throughout the event. When we were brainstorming about themes, I insisted we have Aloha Wear (Wasn't a hard sell with fellow culties). Here's TofuJoe and I in matching Ui-Maikai, brown with orange hibiscus. It was taken about 9 hours into the event. This one is of TofuJoe and I holding "the check" that Dance-a-thon reps gave to The City of Hope at the end of the event. It reads $170,000.00, but as the totals are finishing up, it looks like the actual total is closer to $183k. You can kinda see I'm wearing the cocktail dress we made from event shirts (it won the t-shirt cutting contest). More photos are on the CotE Dance-a-thon web page. All in all, we had a super time and I think I'd like to do it again next year. I hope y'all won't mind if I call on ya again when the time rolls around. :) Much Love, ~T p.s. Oh, and here's a photo of the booth of one of the other teams with their cancer info-board (every team had to choose a cancer and give information about it). Funny, MrSmiley wasn't anywhere in sight. Or was he?..... [ Edited by: Haole'akamai 2008-03-13 17:55 ]
