MUST! HAVE! MORE! APE!
The show Saturday night was simply sublime. I can always count on Al & the boys to provide me with sufficient jungle rhythms to dance just like the fool I am. Plus, they played Sleepwalk, which made me all swoony. Sleepwalk is my kryptonite. Thank you, Al, Frank, Lane & Mitch!
Here are some pictures:
Lane with some mementos from their WB gig
WeirdUncleTiki (fresh off his yacht), Vintage Girl & TraderPup
I found this incredibly bizarre sweater on eBay months ago. Could there be a more perfect getup for an APE gig? Well, short of an actual gorilla costume... :wink:
The four boys could barely fit on the Purple Orchid's tiny stage.
Vintage Girl leads Al & me through a hula
These prototype APE mugs by Tiki Farm had the whole joint BUZZING. Everyone wanted to know how to get one, so I suspect they're going to sell out quickly when the are available (sometime later this summer maybe?).
Suicide Sam, Tiki Mofo, Trader Pup, Polynesian Pop, Z-girl, Utopian Dreem
Trader Pup, Pi Phi Rho, 2QueerTikis (2QueerTikis & I have discovered that we live about a 1/2 block away from each other!)
Frank & Lane apparently have different approaches to this song
Mitch tries to keep hold of his tiny slip of stage space
Al, thumping
King Kukulele joined APE to sing a song, he sounds awfully nice when he's not busy being a goofball!
Crazy Al carved this tiki at the WB gig
Floratina & Frank share a laugh
Mitch becomes contemplative after APE finishes their show
After APE finished, there was a uke jam with Frank Novicki, WeirdUncleTiki & King Kukulele (who was strangely without his royal regalia)
WeirdUncleTiki & King Kukulele on ukes, GiantRobotTiki on congas, Crazy Al on the crazy coconuts
POP YLOP!
Vintage Girl, Floratina & Tiki Vixen share a laugh (There's always lots of laughing with Floratina!)
It's the FAMOUS Mr. Smiley! But why isn't he smiling?? It must be because he cannot have an APE mug yet.
All the excitement left the King plum tuckered.

Thanks again for a great show, you HAVE to come do it again sooner rather than later!
