I saw an ad for that when I was in town on the 4th enjoying a tasty Voodoo donut! Now I want to move to Portland

This is one of those things that drives me crazy, so I gotta say it's Voodoo Doughnut. :)

I was going to post about the Hawaii-A-Ween last week and never got around to it. Glad I don't have to now.

I will be there a few other tikiphiles.

Bec and I just got back from this and we wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone involved. I was the one with the Halloween Hawaiian shirt that got compliments at the front entrance - thanks, you made Bec's day as she made the shirt for me.

We both had a BLAST! Thanks again. can't wait for the next one. :)

Glad new enjoyed it! And a big mahalo & thank you to everyone who came out to the festivities. It is truly appreciated. Oh, and I was the guy with the Aloha shirt & glasses who was sometimes playing some records.

-Drew
