Personally, I am looking forward to meeting Ben Davis, Freddie Ballsomic & Flounder. Holden [ Edited by: smogbreather 2006-09-27 17:44 ]

O otikiniko Member The Molokai (or a studio 3 minutes away) Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 120	O otikiniko Posted posted on Wed, Sep 27, 2006 10:42 PM I'm actually looking forward to meeting (or should I say re-meeting) quite a few of the ohana. Unfortunately, I've been lurking behind a camera so long I forget to actually speak to people which leads to the old, "Who is that mean bald dude with the camera?" routine. Seriously, I don't bite.... I'm actually quite nice. (I think!) I'm especially looking forward to chatting with Flounder (heck, I own a piece of his artwork and I've never met the guy!) um... Bamboo Ben, Otto, Big Bro. The re-meets include Waitiki (I've got a ton of video for 'em!), the Intoxicators, and TikiTony. (to name a few) Aloha, see ya'll there! (or here I guess)

It's an experience that you may never recover from. I'm looking forward to meeting whoever it is I haven't met yet. I'll be the fat guy on the beach with the uke. Bring me a drink and I'll be your uke monkey. If Chongo is coming I want to hang with him for sure. I missed him by a few minutes at the ukefest a few years ago. I'm just kidding about Flounder, btw. Mostly.

I have met all the regulars around here at some point, but there are so many folks that have been around and managed not to cross my path. Loki for sure. I wanna meet the Mrs. Smogbreather... Is she coming?

I glad to get a chance to be able to just hang out with all the TC ohana I serve at FI. But more than that, I'm really excited to meet my East Coast Ohana on their stomping grounds. I look foward to making those face-to-face connections.

Oh wait... that's me!
H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Thu, Sep 28, 2006 1:01 PM I'm looking forward to meeting all sorts of people, but what I'm really hoping for is that this year, I won't get home and find that I missed meeting some TCers while there. A fantastic way to get to meet lots of folks is by volunteering, especially at the registration table. It's easy, and a lot of fun (and you sometimes get a sneek peek at the vendor area, and other special treats): http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20154&forum=&11

This is my first trip to Hukilau, looking forward to both. I am volunteering this year, so I will likely run into lots of you. Zulu
K Karbora Grand Member (5 years) Orlando, Florida Joined: Oct 11, 2005 Posts: 104	K Karbora Posted posted on Sun, Oct 1, 2006 8:13 AM No one has greater passion for life and tiki than FreddieBallsomic. It is a beautiful thing! I can't think of a better venue to meet anyone than the 50th anniversary of the Mai Kai and 5th Hukilau. The festivities, hanging out with FB, getting to meet Bungy, meeting up with the Florida Ohana which is ALWAYS tops and seeing the other TCers that I have had the pleasure of getting to know at tiki events throughout the year.....could there BE any more to look forward to? I fear that there will not be enough hours in the day...but I will do my best to make everyone of them count :) Karbora

Humuhumu is spot on about meeting folks through volunteering, so contact the Pugs or TK and sign-up.
