What a weekend...WOW
And in nearly record breaking temperatures to boot.

Roxanne and I would like say THANK YOU So much to everyone who participated in this first time event.

Big Thanks to:

• Jason and Michelle and the Hidden Valley Hideout. You have officially been "porked" in Escondido. I know you both put a lot of effort into your preparations and kept it all on hold as we figured out our transportation issues.

• Scott(Skootiki) and Mary for the Sweet 808. Your tiki room turned out great and I heard that your pool was a mid day lifesaver for our intrepid and adventurous group. Shweaty Balls.

• Brian (WhoseyrTiki) for your tireless efforts in putting together our transportation. It was really nice that everyone could participate together on the voyage. If we had known it was going to over 100 degrees that day we would have not chosen a schoolbus.... but who could have known. Its a memory for sure.

• Ran (Kick the Reverb) for being guest bartender and bringing drink supplies at your own expense. You are a gentlemen and provide a great experience every time. The Reverb Crash was delicious as always.

• Jeff (Big Tiki Dude) for keeping the party going from 3pm till it all closed down for the night. You created a great vibe with your musical stylings and always keep an eye on the crowd. Nicely done.

• CREEPXOTICA !!! You guys were the total Icing on the cake. To get a text message from Sleestak (Dave) at 2pm telling me that they were going to stop by on the way home from an all day recording session.... and play the party. IT WAS AMAZING. Sounded so good that we had cheering from the neighbors wanting more.

• Roxanne. My partner in all this crazyness. She embraces my wacky ideas and then gives 200% every time. She did all of the menu planning and food prep. Hours and hours of cooking that day and still managed to enjoy the party. You are awesome.

To all our guests, new friends and old, we hope to see you soon.

Derek
