Whew! Just crawled off the greyhound in Vancouver, Canada but it was worth it for my first Tiki Oasis.

Just have a few words of thanks for Casey & others, especially those who provided shade, water, friendly smiles & advice about sunscreen when I decided to risk spontaneous human combustion to man my vending booth on Saturday & Sunday. You'll all be happy to know that other than a mildly pink nose, there was not a touch of sunburn on my entire body. My skin has retained its bluish undertone and no one will ever guess I spent the weekend in a South Seas Paradise.

Thanks also to the organizers, entertainers (King Kuke, I nearly died from laughing too hard at some of your on-stage antics), vendors, customers, friendly faces, hotel staff, and everyone else who made the weekend what it was. (Also, many thanks to my trusty chauffeur for getting me and my stuff to and from Palm Springs in one piece! I couldn't have done it without you.)

Casey, I loved The Reef (I took many pictures which will no doubt inspire future artwork) and thanks again so much for displaying my framed prints there for the weekend. Hopefully next year I'll be able to stay at the Tropics and get the full experience!

Guess that's it. Had a blast and will be back next year. Hope to see some of you at the Northwest Tiki Crawl!
