ROOOOOZZZIIIKKKKK. That's what I was yelling at the Cabana to get LLT back to the party. All I did was wake up people. Ummm sorry. I hear Ben went into the Mai Kai fountain after the crazy impromptu jam session this early AM. Kern ended the night with Aloha Oe. It was... well... fun. Dave L. sang every other song ever written. It was his birthday after all. Kukulele doing Rock a Hula with the band made up of people from 5 bands was a serious moment. M-Mafia - that's all I can say about that. Couldn't do the beach at 3AM thing this year. In-laws this mid day and then back to the Mai Kai. Gotta sleep sometime, I'm old and I'm not from California. Every vendor I spoke with was pretty stoked about the response this year. I'm glad to hear that. The ladies were resplendent as usual. Many flowered and dainty heads perched on flowing flowery gowns... until Crazy Al grabbed them and pulled them out to dance. Stumpgrinder kept losing the carefully placed pieces of her hair assembly while dancing with Chip. The Intoxicators and the Haole Kats work work work at the Hukilau. That gear doesn't just show up and turn itself on. Those guys work incredible hours to help make the scene and I want them to know how much I appreciate it. Shell in the Pacific finally got to take it easy last night in the Molokai and do a few dances to the ukulele laced tunes. Very sublime. She and the rest of the volunteers also do a thousand thankless tasks. But I will say "thank you" for at least 174 of them. The rest others will have to take care of. Loads of fun and although I wish there was more time to really converse with folks and get to know them better - at least a connection is made for some future time. Thinking back, I got to know many of the people here by going to see them or having them come to my lounge after having met them at Hukilau and a few other events. flounder and maikainagirl - always a true pleasure to spend a little time with the both of you. Looking forward to a gathering of the Orlando tribe with the Bay tribe sometime soon. ECTR!! [ Edited by: pablus 2008-06-15 09:08 ]
