Thanx to the TC Ohana for always showing us a great time. Congratz to Squid for a SPEC-frikken-TACULAR showing of mugs and art. That showing of mugs actually needs a museum/gallery display that is available to see for more than one night, not only because of the amount of work put into to it, but for the sheer volume of mugs on display. Crazy ! To all the people on the Squid list who put this together...BRAVO ! Thanx to Hiphipahula for minding the store. You rule ! Mr and Mrs Mongoloid, Mahalo for the great gift. I Love it ! Kari - That's a scary story. Glad you made it safe and sound. Big Mahalos to the band, for, as usual, doing a tremendous job...are these guys the shizzle or what ? (kids, did I say that right?) On a different note : I'd like apologize for all the seating problems. Some things are just beyond our control, and no matter how much I try, at the end of the day, I'm just the guy in the band, and there's only so much I can do. I hope you all still had a good time. So, if you lost your seat, got seated in a bad spot (is there actually such a thing in Kona - especially in the Hidden Village ?) or made a reservation (and paid) only to be told that there were no tables left, I'm really sorry about that, it was beyond our control. We all Love Kona, but let's face it, they still have operational issues to work out. Once again, we hit Kona like a Tsunami and things got crazy. I thought the food was pretty darn good tho' Looks like we're going to have to re-evaluate the show situation there. As you have probably figured out by now, The T.O. likes to have more than just a "gig"...we like to have an "event" - a real party - something to remember. So we try to go the extra mile, and let's face it, the Tiki Artists need the support, and putting live Exotica together with Tiki art is a perfect match. Add in some Mai tais, and great tiki environment, and voila....it's a good time. So, thanx again, everyone. Hopefully we'll see you all on Oct 18th at the Crazy Al Tenth Anniversary Event at Bahooka. Crazy Al, Tikiyaki, and more Fishtanks than you'll ever see in one place !
