Trader Trick here.....
Picture this if you can....

You’re outside, 3 blocks from the ocean in Cocoa Beach, Florida on a Saturday night. The weather is perfect.

But wait, it gets better.

There’s a lunar eclipse going on right overhead with the sound of the ocean in the background.

But wait, it gets better.

You’re at the epicenter of tiki carving: the Mai Tiki studios for Wayne & Bekki Coombs’ 30th anniversary party.

But wait, it gets better.

In addition to feeling like you’ve made the pilgrimage to that sacred place where Florida tikis are born; in addition to the visual overload of tikis and tiki-related art, there’s a tiki-festooned stage out back and the Delusionaires are playing (under the aforementioned lunar eclipse with the ocean in the background).

But wait, it gets better...

There is a fantastic barbecue spread (fish & meat) with all the trimmings plus a bar where the alcohol flows like tap water (you know you’ve arrived when Budweiser is a sponsor for your soiree).

But wait, it gets better....

You’re surrounded by hep, kitchy, artistic, fun and just plain nice people who are having a ball!

Sometimes it just doesn’t get any better, ya know?
