Not that I had any doubt that the event would go off, I could just never have imagined how beautiful it would be. The first night was phenominal. As Kailuageoff said in one of the previous posts, the Wayne Coombs tikis blew me away and from that moment on I knew this event was going to knock my socks off. The bands were amazing, Torchy Taboo raised my pulse and the surroundings were unmatched. Fantastic. Day 2 at Trader Vic's was wonderful, with an extremely intimate feel. I thought it was well done and my only regret is that I wasn't able to meet as many people as I would have liked. I was able to meet some really great people, however the majority of them were not from Tiki Central, just wonderful Tiki enthusiasts. (For those of you reading this wondering who the heck I am, I am the guy in the green shirt who was sitting next to the guy King Kukulele was making fun of for either being really tired, or extremely perverted!) We had to leave early, and with the way the King was kicking out the jokes, I knew we would prime target! :lol: His act was extremely funny though and I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer. I had to stick around the house today to go to a meeting, so I couldn't make it to the drive in. Besides, with so many great activities rolled into 2 days, I was plum tuckered out! The bottom line is, everything was great! I can't say enought about it. I came home, lined up all of the memoriabilia I had bought and instantly craved more. I cannot wait until next year! Thanks again for such a great event and I feel wonderful knowing that there are so many people here in the south that appreciate our obsession. You west-coasters can't have all of the fun, you know! -Matt
