Aloha and Big Mahalos to all!

The weekend did go by fast. The amazing thing to me is that after I left on Sunday morning I was back in Charleston (2500 miles away!) about 6 and a half hours later. So far away in so little time. That arrival home is always a little depressing.

The event was great and being around my tiki friends is always fantastic. The format of the events seems down pat now and things really ran smoothly, and for the most part, on time.

Room 135 had the "big" party this year on Sat night and that seemed to work good for most. The "calls" on the tiki phone were so funny. And the new “Shut the Door” song was a hit and went on for about 45 minutes and the lyrics took different turns.

There was an awkward moment when one chick brought in a "dance mix" CD. One TC’er took her CD and ran across the parking lot with it! She later returned and got all fussy with me and demanded I give her the name of the culprit (but your identity is safe, so don't worry).

The police arrived just as King was calling Room 135 from HIS room. I answered and heard him say something about calling the police because of all the noise (I was hip to the prank). Funny thing was, the police knocked on the door while I was taking his call. I’m telling King that the police are REALLY here but I am not sure if he thinks that I am just joking back. Too funny.

A few of us went to the hot tub at about 4:30 and were joined by two gentlemen who discussed the merits of having adult prams (strollers) so they could push each other around. Way off tiki topic in my mind but Cheri and I had a great laugh. That, combined with a foot fetish dude in the tub, made the whole episode surrealistically comical.

A hand full of us watched the sun come up at about 5:15. A beautiful way to end the perfect night, and for me, brought the weekend to a close.

Thanks to all who attended and promoted the event. Special regards to Al and Shelley who put me up for a few days before the event and continue to be shining stars to many of us in Tikidom, Otto and Baby Doe, King, C’ Al, Bax, Mark Hines, Futura Girl and to the many others who made the weekend so fun.

Oh, Futura Girl, that dress on backwards story is so funny. At one time in our lives, that would be the indication that you “REALLY” had a good time the night before. One more memorable event of a fantastic weekend.
