Ugh..soo..very...tired.....

Talk about a great weekend. How's this for an itenerary:

Friday: Drive from SF to Oceanic Arts. Talked with Leroy and drooled like a kid in a candy store. Put the Visa card to the test. Drove over to Brea for the Shag exhibit which was much larger than I expected. I (can this be possible?) was disappointed in the lack of merchandise at the gallery. I thought there would at least be a cheap print of the show. (The Three Enablers is now #1 on my "Please make a serigrapgh!" list, but Josh told me not to hold my breath.) Then off to the Tiki-Ti for drinks with a friend. They really do still pour an excellent drink.

Saturday: Off to lunch at Sam's Seafood, then down to Oceanside to enjoy the excellent hospitality and fine cocktails of Alnshely. It was great to meet everyone there and see some familiar faces again: Polypop, Trustar, Tiki_Bong, Tina, Pup, Mike, Dr. Z, Johnnie, Robyn, and everyone else I forgot!!! (High Chief Al make heap powerful drink!) The Lagoon Room is top notch, and I don't think Al has even noticed the missing mugs yet. :) Then off to the Bash, where we waited in line for the gallery show. We met Baxdog in line after I overheard him in front of us stealing the one-liners I posted on Tiki Central. :) The Bash was great, and many kudos to Holden and the Tiki Farm staff for doing such a great job. The bands were great as well. Great to see Hanford, Randy, Naomi, Sven, John, Atomic, Vintage Girl, etc. etc. Too many to remember! Rebeca and I had a great time.

Sunday was a quick bit of shopping, then off to Disneyland. Suffice it to say, I never though I'd be doing a hoedown with TC people, but it was a great day. I'm getting worn out, so I'll leave it to other people to describe, but when the pictures get posted, they will explain much. Look for Maynard at the Tiki Room, and Sven on Splash Mountain. You won't be disappointed.

Mahalo to all.
