I do wish I knew about the video porn so I could've put my kid in a headlock til it was over. The burlesque doesn't bother me, but I would rather see the money spent on a polynesian show. (I have to disagree with you brother Al about the "Crappy second rate hula show looking for publicity" My good friend Chief Tama puts on a hell of a fire, drum and hula show and is very reasonable. I know many TCers can attest to that!)I also have many other O'hana in the hula biz that would be happy to dance. Overall though A great time was had by most and cheers to those who make it all happen. I don't know if I'll vend next year knowing that there will probably be even more sellers. As Baxdog sez "When it stops being fun, I'm done" I have a store that more than pays the bills and I would rather see more home grown art and artists showing their goods. IE Crazy Al, Chiki, Ben, Gecko (?????), etc. Saw some awesome tiki paintings this year. Alot of great talent!! ...and a little bit of crap. Lastly, get a real screen so at least some of us can see it at the dive in. Nuff said...Aloha [ Edited by: shakatiki on 2004-05-13 23:51 ]
