Great seeing and meeting (and re-meeting!) everyone!

A big thanks to the Mr. B Ben's for their hospitality and warmth! And for the constant running around, making sure everyone was hydrated, fed and had a car to drive home! (thanks for the heads up on the immanent towing) Big mana from the whole Fam... The Aunties told me they love how this group always has such fun and how nice they all are. I told them this group could make a party out of a glass of water and a cracker! Laughing pretty good, they said that pretty much summed us up.

The warmth of the sun was nothing compared to the warmth of the awesome TC kin(ny) and tribe! Great to meet (or re-meet-sorry for the swiss cheese memory!) Mrs. BB, BB, Kiki (and your daughter, is it Little Blue Tiki she’s going by?) and Rav, LLT, Grog, and great to see the everyone else I DO remember Soccer (No Woo Hoo…boo-hoo!) and Squid and Mieko and Stacey and Gene (been a bit since I last saw you!)

And what a trip you made, Mai Tai!! I forgot to ask if Coco was with you?! Awesome to see you again! If your still in town tonight, let’s (all-anyone-everyone) meet up at Don’s!

MAN. I GOTTA come to more of these things so I don’t feel like I’m playing catch up each and every time. It’s like seeing Aunt Gladys at the family reunion every 10 years or something.

The Mr. says he had a swell time and thanks to all who encouraged The Boy and young daughter. And he was laughing so much at LLT and Squid and yous guys!

The Boy (aka Pro Loafer) loved watching Billy carve-got him motivated. By the way: Who’s the genius that told him he should make tiki crack pipes?! How am I going to explain THAT one to my parents?

The music was, obviously, awesome. Not just the live guys, but Ben’s son’s mix! My 14 year old daughter was pleased.

I wanted to buy everything I saw! Talent in spades, all.

Sorry I took so long in the facilities…I was mesmerized by the Buzzy pics. Like a train wreck, I couldn’t look away!

All in all, such a lovely time! Thanks to ALL who work so damn hard to put something like this together!
