Thanks Spike! As soon as you arrived, I swear the energy level totally jumped! All three of us were pretty toasted by that time, as we often are! So the second half of our show is always a wee bit better!

Nice to see a fairly big crowd, and even a few hipsters from Fez-O Rama! (they must have gotten lost in Don's, and wandered into the longboard room, then decided to stay!)

Big Tiki Dude was planted solidly in the back, checking us out with his usual scrutinizing glare!

I was suprised that Bill played, and not only one song but like 5 or 6 this time!

John O brought a bunch of keikis, and they did a massive hula near the end of the show...afterwards, I had a great conversation with him, and it only reinforced what I already suspected: he is one of the coolest cats on this forum!

even one of my friends from work came and brough one of the "bosses" with her (big- wig deputy directors from my agency) so that's a total of 3 deputies that have come to see us in recent times! They see me at work, all professional like....

and then they see me staggering around, drooling a bit, swilling from one of Don's "rum barrels"...great! Nice example I set!

Don's was very packed though, so I do apologize for the lack of parking...I guess there was a wedding in the back....(and I thought all those Jersey Shore looking people were there for US) But Soccer Tiki really helped set the place up nice, so everything worked out!

Hopefully there will be a next time, in a month or so!

But DAMN my head hurt this morning! Makes me think what the fuck I did!

Ever the good soldier, I attended a "Master Class" hosted by members of the Emerson String Quartet (yes, THE Emerson string quartet) this morning, bright and early! So even WITH a massive hangover...I played through! Now THAT'S dedication to music!
