Vendors paid $55. The mug by Derek was $30 which I recall was a very high price for the time. There was one night with a ticket and that was $15. $15 got you I Belli di Waikiki from Italy, Tongo Hiti and Johnny Knox from Atlanta, King Kukulele from CA, the legend Billy Mure and Big Pineapple and the Vodkanauts from FL. And I was totally excited that in the budget, if 300 people showed I'd be making $8k that year. We actually had more like 500-700, and then the hurricane came. The good old days.
