I'm afraid.

Way too Crazy for me!!!

I heard they have flying roaches in Florida. The kind you can't kill by stomping on.

I'm not attending Hukilau because I'm getting married just 3 weeks later, and decided to save what little vacation i have for my honeymoon.

honest.

Weak sauce all of ya!

I won't make it.

I don't feel good.

Mahalo!

Because I can't bear to sit in the Molokai bar with all those lovely wahines serving me amazing drinks again. How much can one man take?

Actually, I did Green Bay 50s Fest in May, Mod Chicago last weekend, and I'm off to Amsterdam tomorrow and Rotterdam next weekend for the Primitive Garage weekender. No time, money, or vacation left for Hukilau. I will miss you all, and especially I miss the Mai-Kai!

Next year!

Cuz it hurts when I pee!

ahhhh I heard its probably no good...
and that the Mai Kai is not that great.

:roll:

You would have loved it bigtikidude. Wish you could have been here to see Jon Paul and Marie's jaws dropping as they experienced the Mai Kai for the first time (heck...mine was too!). I'm sure they wished you could have been here too. Maybe next time.

Uncle Sam refuses to let me leave Iraq, 16 months and counting. Maybe next year I can make it.

Wait, HuKiLau is in June this year???

Sheesh, you people should put up a banner, or at least post about it or something. How's a guy to know whats going on?

Hang in there, Dan. Hope you come home safe and soon.

If I leave who will babysit my tiki collection?

Better yet, of I leave, who will be out buying all the tiki at the flea markets, thrift and antique stores in Sacramento?

Psycho Tiki D (I know I am and I can't afford a babysitter)!

Hey Prem EX, yeah I know it is Tiki Heaven,
I was being sarcastic and quoting somebody that said they didn't care, and thought it wasn't that cool of a place.
I was here all weekeind going to surf shows, trying not to think about Hukilau, unsucessfully... :(

Jeff(bigtikidude)

I'd have to miss Flag Day AND Father's Day and I don't want to support an event so overtly anti-American AND anti-family.

(I lied--Bargoyle is making me go. But that would have been my excuse.)

BS

I can't go because the TSA won't let me take more than 3 oz of rum on the plane.

Having a 24/7 sale on Budweiser and Marlboros and Porno down at the Quickie Mart !!!!!

My dog ate my itinerary.

johnman's not going so now I'm not going either. We'll go next year.

I hate not being able to go. I can't go because I have to go to a wedding on the mainland. If I wasn't there, I'd be celebrating my daughter's first birthday on the 14th and singing at my international choir debut that Thursday and Friday. All these darn things fall on that one weekend! The rest of my summer is free!!

I'm going only because the only tickets available in the whole wide world for The Cure were only available in Ft. Lauderdale, Maybe, just maybe we will stop in at the Hukilau. Yeah, I heard also, that its pretty boring. Dumb drinks, dumb shirts blah blah.

M

I spent all my money on Schlitz in a desperate attempt to get some "gusto"

I'll be in Utah...

Where the roosters crow "cock-a-doodle-doo" and the girls crow "any-cock-will-do"!

PTD

T

Because Im completely swamped with tiki carving commisions . Everyone wants their custom stuff and they want it yesterday . How am I gonna get it all done ??????????????

i'm not going for the simple reason that i have never been to a hukilau event before and figure, why break a good record??.....

H

I am not going cause I don't want to.

Blah.

Blah,

Blah!!!!

Uh huh... (cough) cou-P*SSIES-cough.

J

My parole officer won't let me leave the state.

Oh and btw... it says "Live Free or Die" on our license plates,
so I guess I know my only other alternative.
Believe me there is no place I would rather be than Hukilau, but if I go
I'll be at the hoosgow!

...'cause I'm just a Tiki-poser.

MR

Just can't afford it. It's killing me. I've never been to one and now it's gonna be over. The whole thing makes me feel like crap. I hope everyone has a good time. Someone take a life size cardboard cut out of me for photos.

I have to mow my laundry

The US might not allow me in.

I'm in Matt's boat.
I am really pissed that I'm not going.
If I had known that it was going to be the last one,
I would not have gone to Toronto Last weekend.
Can't afford both, shit I really couldn't afford Last weekend.
I am really just bummed as hell to be missing Hukilau.

maybe if I had grey thining hair, I cut it short too.
:wink:

give JP a hug for me at Hukilau.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Have to go to the inlaws family reunion in Bumfuck, Texas later this summer. Not enough sick time or money to go.
