Amazing time! Such a wonderful event. A buddy of mine was able to fly out here from North Carolina and was absolutely blown away. I knew some people last year, but that was an event I mostly spent alone. It was truly touching to notice how I couldn't walk 50 feet without saying hi or hugging a dear tiki friend this year. I was trying to tell my friend how crazy it is as we were walking, "Yeah, it's really weird, I... oh, hey buddy, great to see you... I take a few steps and next thing I know... hey, gorgeous, you look amazing... next thing I know there is someone I... hey, you made it, awesome..." I couldn't even finish my conversation with him! So heart warming to be a part of such an amazing group of people. True ohana!

To everyone I met that is a new friend, to all my old friends, and to everyone else who is a friend to be: Thank you for such a great weekend!
