That was a fun event! It was nice to see some of my oldest friends in Tikiland come together. I have been living a bi-continental Tiki life for so long, and rarely do American and European Tikilanders meet. And we had folks from Ireland and Austria make the trek. Kudos for all. Here are some pics:

The weather in Berlin: Cold, dark and rainy, perfect for a Tiki escape:
