Everybody's gonna do this, so I'll keep it REALLY short.

I'd like to thank the following for a terrific Hukilau 2008:

Tiki Kiliki for discovering me hocking my paintings on the internet, believing in me enough to invite me to the show, and for helping me survive the resulting nervous breakdown while fending off one of her own. She is spectacularly beautiful in every way a person can be... and also for introducing my wife and I to these guys:

Russell (left) and Michael (Dr. Scopitone) - these two characters saved our entire trip - repeatedly - with their friendship, support, personalities, and patience. Having to leave them honestly feels like a disaster.

Harold Golen for hosting the Fine Art Tiki show, for giving selflessly of his time when I desperately needed professional advice, and for having a gentle, quiet nature that I found disarming.

Also the many other thugs, mugs, oddballs, beauties, and cool people we encountered.
