Mahalo Leleliz!! Did you have a Blast??

Why yes, yes I did WooHoo :)

I think the only downfall was the overindulgence of mai tais on my end...helluva hangover today but it was worth it!

I really hope everyone involved thought it was worth it too. The band was fabulous, the TV staff was super nice and helpful, the venue made it intimate without being super crowded, all of the vendors seemed to be enjoying themselves so I hope they made some moola. Really happy to meet and see so many of the SoCal Ohana who made the trek up to our neck of the woods too.

Here's a few shots (please forgive my drunken pic taking skills!)
CoCo Loco checking everyone in :

The nicest couple in NorCal - CoCo Loco and Mai Tai:

The band:


The drum:

The Jim:

The crowd (things started to get kind of fuzzy right about here!):

The future Mr & Mrs Wickedly (so great to meet ya both!)

Joe Banks and I :

MP's set up -- his Square Bob velvet was already sold when I got there (no surprise-it was awesome!) but he was nice enough to hold onto one of his Square Bob mugs for me so I snapped that up. Thanks MP!

Tobunga/Eric October's set up. I got a few sets of his adorable Valentines and they are even better in person!(You all need to buy them...seriously!) One of my favorite things was this killer painting he did of the Islander. Really awesome in person and the frame is made out of the bamboo from there. He is so talented AND it is always great to see him and Manuel up here:

Pretty much the highlight of my night was when Vampiress and Marty met for the first time. Lets just say Vamp has dubbed him her future ex-husband :wink:

Some of Vic's (Jungle Trader) tikis making off with my mai tai :

Brenda's Tiki Hut and I ....please note that we are a little gone at this point!

Y'all come back now ya here!
