Like so many events, I bring the camera and then have too much fun and don't take any pictures.... There are a lot more pictures over here: http://fraternalorderofmoai.org/huimalu/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8264 and I am sure Flickr groups are being built as I type. And..... That was the best Tiki Event EVER! It was perfect! Even the cold somehow worked. It was the perfect amount of people to have fun AND be intimate. I am so ready for next year! I am going to have Andy make for me a fleece-lined lavalava! |

Nice shot of the creepy guys behind the coffin. Somehow in my drunken state I thought I looked creepier than I did. |

What a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much to Bargoyle and all the Queequegs, as well as all the generous room hosts, bands, vendors, Tiki Resort staff, and all the cool attendees, who were so much fun! Tiki folk are just the best! Here are some of the photos that Baz and I took...

He awaits
Someone's always trying to steal my look
Sittin' around as usual... :wink:
I love carvers... they love me too. Mahalo Lake Surfer.
Bamboo Saxotica rocked and the dancers rolled. OK that was lame... but onward.
The International Exotica Continuum
Romm crawl shots
Tiki at Night
I think I asked Hinano Paul to marry me. Not sure.
These sophisticates and their looks and charm... pshaw.
They endured a lot of some fat guy playing the uke for about 2 hours.
Paradise ceiling
Me and Squid. He's playing a serving tray on a small table.
It was an amazing time. Same with Waitiki. I'm pretty sure I scared them away with my gushing gibberish. Randy had no time for 4AM breakfast so I was discarded like yesterday's lime juice. Nah, I know they were whipped and on a schedule but they sure sounded awesome. The Mayor just plain fled. Ahu's drinks were some of the tastiest and most unique I've ever had. As a temperate man, I was forced to taste only. But what tastes they were. Lots of time with the Pugs. Lots of time with TNTiki and bride. Just a nice pace for the weekend, actually. Mornings were easy and forgiving. And it just ramped up as the night went on. JPMArtdog has completely lost his mind. Those black and white burlesque films while Waitiki was playing were so right on, the hips were swaying in time with the music. Only a few of us were enraptured by that but it was something worth watching. If ikitnrev had been there, there would have been a better tome about the synchronicity but it was awesome. The organizers deserve praise but Granite Tiki deserves roadies. I really enjoyed watching my lovely and voluptuous wahine mingle and have fun and I enjoyed playing for those who listened. Sorry I had to do a few of the tunes twice, but 2 plus hours is about the limit of my Tiki Music catalog. I can't believe I didn't play the Don Ho set. I completely spaced and forgot I knew the stuff. A few others as well. Oh well, the show must go on. I miss you all already. Hope to see some of you on the road this year and at events should I be blessed enough to attend them. Mahalo to the FOM and to Bargoyle and Pupule. |

Wow! Was that a Tubax in one of the band pics? Not something I would expect to see at a tiki event. Or much anywhere else, for that matter. |

Ha ha! Great eye! It is indeed a Tubax! In "Bamboo Saxotica" we pride ourselves on having unusual (exotic) instruments. That's one of my guys Tom, he also has a soprillo sax. (he owns two Grafton Plastic Altos too just waiting to be overhauled and I'm praying he lets me play one) As for exotic instruments, you should have seen Tim Mayer's Hulusi!!!! As for that incredible weekend, I GOT TO MEET THAT PABLUS GUY!!!! (how's that for gushing) :wink: [ Edited by: The Granite Tiki 2009-09-22 22:45 ] |

I played a Tubax last year at a saxophone, well, thing... convention is probably not the right word. Also an Eppelsheim sub contrabass and some of the J'Elle Stainer Extreme saxes. I could feel those low vibrations all through my body. So I was pretty sure that I recognized it the Tubax. Wish I could have heard you guys. Love those BIG saxes! |

Dinner was Fun! Spam AND Pork! It may not be winning any awards in the culinary world, but it was a lot of fun! And the company made it more so. And the entertainers made it even more fun! Besides.... Mikey said next year he plans on digging an imu and doing a couple of pigs! And the weird banana-cream-coconut-pineapple dessert thing was yummy too! |

Great video John, with some really nice editing. You really captured many of the elements of OHANA that made it so special. I came home wishing that the weekend was longer, that I could still be among friends in that special place that is the Tiki Motor Resort in Lake George - with this video we can! |
