Drove my '54 Ford up with my car club (The Road Zombies) on Saturday morning. Bands started around 1, but most people showed up near swine time (around 4:30). Dave, Marissa, and others worked their metaphorical tails off all night preparing the pig, which was cooked right outside in the parking lot all of Friday night! The food was delicious! Some of the best swine I've ever tasted. There were some great vendors, including TC's MP, Jungle Trader, Retro Diva Melissa, and Tobunga (Eric October). My wife and I bought a bunch of loot from Eric, including the hot-rodding Maori painting on page 1. Thanks again Eric! Your stuff rules! All the bands were great... DJs played an awesome mix of old timey Hawaiian, Rockabilly, Blues, and 50s R&B. The hotel was recently renovated, and was MUCH cleaner than our (my wife and I) last visit about 6 years ago. All in all, a great time. More people, especially TCers, need to show up next year because Marissa is planning to do it all over again! See ya next year.
