....and NorCal kicked ours right back !

I know it always sounds like an oscar speech, but I have to take this time to express gratitude for the people who made this show a smashing success and a good ole'time.

Mark Holt aka Tikitastic, Jim, aka Tai Won On and the Tiki Underground for booking, promoting, and organizing the whole thing.

The owner of Dinah's / Trader Vics (a very nice lady whose name escapes me right now) , Radim, and the entire staff of Trader Vics for bending over backwards for us, and keeping those drinks flowing all night.

Bill aka Mai Tai and Marie aka Coco Loco for working the door.

John Corbid aka dibroc for providing the luggage for the door prizes, and for always being there to help out. You rock brutha !

All the Vendors for bringing the "TIKI" to the event, and those who donated door prizes.

Kevn Bullat aka BONG who subbed for Gary Brandin on Steel guitar. You learned these songs like your life depended on it and did a fantastic job - Mahalo Braddah !

Peggy Williams for buying us drinks at the Cove ! (more on that visit in another thread)

Anyway, it was great to see some familiar faces and meet lots of new folks as well....I had a really great time, and hope we can do it again really soon. You Nor-Cal people are awesome ! WHOO !
