I have yet to reply to this thread because:
A. I'm a girl and don't do the "brawl stuff"
B. I'm a hobbyist and don't sell hardly anything.
However, this has been fascinating to follow. I have few regrets in life. Yet, one is tiki related. Last summer Gecko was in So. Cal (a really large area for such small initials). I had the honor of meeting him at the Aloha Cruz show. However, he and Chiki(Diablo tiki) were both hooking up at Al and Shel's for a carve-a-thon that same weekend. I had some lame ass "boyfriend of the moment" excuse for not driving down to the carve-a-thon in San Diego. Maybe I was A LOT intimidated by their skill (I could use the girl excuse here, but I'm going to stick with the "I just goof off with it, and they make $$$, and they're WAY BETTER THAN ME!!!!" excuse.) Monkeyman showed up and carved with the big dogs (huevos grandes senior!). Wish I had seen this event. If you Florida guys have this carve-a-thon/brawl, the Mai Tais would flow and the spectators would be inspired. F%$@ the brawl, get together and carve...wish I would have.
