The wife, kid (one of five children i saw in the Tiki line), and i just got to Northern Japan from Cali a few hours ago - what a trip!

Thanks to all the really nice folks we met and chatted with in line. i actually had two seperate nightmares the night before that everything would be sold out.

We scored a print for ourselves (and a friend in Seattle too lazy to take a short trip to Anaheim), Jamie (my son) got a picture taken with Mr. Agle, and i ended up with food poisoning that night, puking my guts out in the 5-star commode of Disney's Grand Californian.

All in all, a fun time - my wife was continually asked while in line what we were waiting for (she makes eye contact with strangers too often), it was interesting seeing the shock on people's faces that so many people would wait hours in line for a chance to buy Tiki Room stuff.

Hey, we stand up when Jose tells us to in the show, why not toss away our son's college tuition funds if we have the chance, right?

i'll post my son with Shag sometime when the stomach finally settles...
