Took this photo with Huell at Tiki Caliente 2 (The Caliente Tropics years). Huell was drinking a mai tai out of a Tiki Tony volcano. I asked him to do the mai tai dance referring to the Oceanic Arts epsiode but he just kind of laughed probably not recalling his dance that still haunts me. He was just being social and having a good time with everyone and was interested in all the different vendors items. I remember he had to pick up everything and hold it and had that fascination with everything just like he does on his show. He did show up later that night and kind of hung out in the shadows and watched some of the bands. Huell is tiki at heart for sure!
