Well, first of all, I am very grateful to Rory for including me in this wonderful weekend. It reminded me so much of Oasis 2 and 3 and the good ole days, and then some... With that heatwave that hit, tempers and aggitation really could have risen, but the whole thing was so well organized overall, it went off without a hitch. All I saw were smiling happy faces. And Wildsville man's energy was non-stop and positive. THAT is what really put the whole thing over the edge. I know that before the event, Big Tiki Dude was saying he wasn't sure if he had enough of this or that music? But from what I heard, he was spinning the very best surf, exotica, lounge and hawaiiana all weekend. Sometimes you know the DJ is great when you don't notice him at all. BTD was playing the perfect blended soundtrack that set the background tone for fun. And thank you for spinning behind the fashion show dude! Cindra and Tracy supplied all of the excellent outfits from the 40s through the 60s for the vintage Tiki Fahsion Show and somehow it all came together. (I think Tracy changed about 10 times for the show!) Let's do that again! Much thanks has to go to the bevy of beautiful and handsome models that shined on Saturday afternoon: AJ and the Wildsville kids Marisa and Brent and dog Martina decked out in a lei, Jetson, Dave and Tracy, Rod and Cindra, Cindi, Tawny, Susan, Jeannie, C.B. Howlie, Tiki Ray, and our host with the 'full moon' aloha shirt, Rory. I really enjoyed seeing all the talented vendors and hearing all the other bands play. Thank you to the Martini Kings for their swanky set - and the over the top pool percussion jam. I hope that everyone enjoyed their 'whipped cream' shots. Props also need to go out to Holden and Tiki Farm and Appleton's Rum for sponsoring the event. The rum was especially fine... I know this because after a few mai tais the pool felt especially fine, even though I was STILL in my dress and gogo boots! Hakalugi - hope you don't mind, but I viraled your video on my channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/CherryCapri#p/a/u/0/td-OrtldYWs Thank you Crazy Al for catching me in the pool :wink: Lastly, I do hope that everyone enjoyed their cherry flavored "party favors." Tonga Tom - thanks for posting the Tie another Mai Tai On sing-along.
