It surely doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking about what an incredible experience this year truly was. Thanks to everyone that came out to show your support this year. Thanks to our vendors that brought all the great items and that worked all weekend to please our attendees. To my wonderful staff - Amy, John, Dave, Brian, Jim, Mike - I know you guys gave so much of yourselves during the past year to see that things went off without a hitch and it showed. All of our marvelous entertainers - Tikiyaki Orchestra, The Fisherman, Exotics, The Intoxicators!, The Disasternauts, Grinder Nova. Special mention to Lewis Bailey who helped us out all weekend - you are a lifesaver! The mezmerizing Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid was dazzling as always. Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and the Rum Rat Pack - Martin Cate, Steve Remsberg, Ian Burrell and Wayne Curtis were revolutionary!! Paul Roe from Britishink Tattoo in DC gave us a marvelous look at Hawaii and Old School Tattoos. Vintage Roadside completely floored me with their wonderful symposium on Aquarama - it was great that there was a Fort Lauderdale connection and that they had taken the family to the Mai-Kai!! That 8mm footage was spectacular! DJ's Jack Fetterman and Gina of the Jungle played the best of Exotica and Lounge Laura Taylor and Drew Farmer were on hand to add some great tunes too - thanks so much for continuing the weekends soundtrack. All of our volunteers worked with us to make it a success as always. And the Mai-Kai was as majestic as always, beckoning to all of us to stay, stay.... It was wonderful to have my 3 minutes with Pablus backstage during the mixologist challenge - and my 2 kisses and run throughout the weekend. My great conversations and time spent with my good friend Jonpaul from LA. Wouldn't take anything for it! All of it was grand and I am so honored to have spent that weekend with all of you!! Looking forward to next year! Yee-Haw & Aloha, The Hukilau [ Edited by: tiki_kiliki 2011-07-05 21:23 ]
