He awaits

Someone's always trying to steal my look

Sittin' around as usual... :wink:

I love carvers... they love me too. Mahalo Lake Surfer.

Bamboo Saxotica rocked and the dancers rolled. OK that was lame... but onward.

I think I asked Hinano Paul to marry me. Not sure.
Primo Kimo is the little brother I never met. Til now.
Let the earth tremble.

These sophisticates and their looks and charm... pshaw.

They endured a lot of some fat guy playing the uke for about 2 hours.
So why are they smiling?

Me and Squid. He's playing a serving tray on a small table.
I'm "playing" a uke. Yep, that's a barn door behind me. So I guess I haven't reached that mythic width as of yet.

It was an amazing time.
I met Rain and got to talk to him. I think I was blathering like a fanboy, but I am one... so...

Same with Waitiki. I'm pretty sure I scared them away with my gushing gibberish. Randy had no time for 4AM breakfast so I was discarded like yesterday's lime juice. Nah, I know they were whipped and on a schedule but they sure sounded awesome. The Mayor just plain fled.

Ahu's drinks were some of the tastiest and most unique I've ever had. As a temperate man, I was forced to taste only. But what tastes they were.

Lots of time with the Pugs. Lots of time with TNTiki and bride. Just a nice pace for the weekend, actually. Mornings were easy and forgiving. And it just ramped up as the night went on.

JPMArtdog has completely lost his mind. Those black and white burlesque films while Waitiki was playing were so right on, the hips were swaying in time with the music. Only a few of us were enraptured by that but it was something worth watching. If ikitnrev had been there, there would have been a better tome about the synchronicity but it was awesome.

The organizers deserve praise but Granite Tiki deserves roadies.
Dude was all over the place, all the time, and I got to watch the complete release of a musician no longer on the job. He sang "A Whole New World" just... like... the... movie. That's how far it went.

I really enjoyed watching my lovely and voluptuous wahine mingle and have fun and I enjoyed playing for those who listened. Sorry I had to do a few of the tunes twice, but 2 plus hours is about the limit of my Tiki Music catalog. I can't believe I didn't play the Don Ho set. I completely spaced and forgot I knew the stuff. A few others as well. Oh well, the show must go on.

I miss you all already. Hope to see some of you on the road this year and at events should I be blessed enough to attend them. Mahalo to the FOM and to Bargoyle and Pupule.
