I have to tell my thoughts here. I was as blown away as everyone else. Please send me your pics everyone . I was so busy I didn't take enough and don't even recall what I did take.

Waynes stuff! Someone please post a pic here! They were about 10-15 feet tall, and 4 feet thick with fire in their eyes and mouth and smoke and bubbles. Tron and Garagantua were their names and that was their debut. Wayne was so great. He set a mood un equaled!

All that tiki! I have never seen so many tikis.

Trader Vic's had a line at both bars all night that was a good 20-30 deep. I think the complicated Vic's drinks make it slow going. But everyone was very patient and happy to wait.

Sven's presentation was a lot of fun. Really! A slideshow lecture that was fun!

So many people. So much stuff. I am still dazed. That could be from not having a chance to eat Friday and Saturday, or sleep more than 5 hours, and losing 3 pounds of water in the heat. Maybe.

But everyone had a great time and that was the point. We also had so many people eager to help in the future. Yeah!

I owe one huge apology though. We reached capacity at Trader Vic's and people were turned away and waiting in the lobby. Well, some of those people were the wonder folks from KeepyTiki! I was so upset that they didn't get to see the insides of Trader Vic's and hang out with everyone there. Really bums me out. But they were still happy and excited about the event and said they would be back next year.

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped. More specific thanks in the near future ont he site, etc. As I get pics, I'll post them too.
