Grog, try to imagine it this way...

Actually I told Ravenne the same thing and that I was going to post a dead cat picture in response. She just laughed and said "Cool, just do it". That took all the fun out of it for me.... :(

Sorry for the derail.

And count me in !!

Had a great time last night.

Andy and Debbie are two of the good ones, friends for life.

The new Tiki Joe's Ocean CD "Under the Midnight Sun" is a fantastic listening experience. I listened to it this afternoon under headphones and was transported to exotic island of my mind. Just great.

Of course the evening was a lot of chatting up the neighbors, friends and enemies of the scene. Like I said at the beginning, GREAT TIMES!

Thanks guys! G

It was an awesome time, great to see all my favorites there as well as meet new ones! Andy, stellar disc and your wife, Debbie, is extremely sweet and oh-so-supportive. You're a lucky man.

Desire ~ a new blossoming artist and her husband, Billy, is perfectly complimentary to the artistic tiki world. Thanks for sharing your ideas and creations.

Hope you all didn't mind hanging with "the troublemakers"... heh

Until next time! (guess I'll have to arrive pre-buzzed) oh boy. The beginning of the bad-girl rep??

Yeah, we had a blast last night too. My Tonga Hut cherry was finally popped. always missed all the other events, and glad my Wife forced me to go. Finally got to meet Kinny, Grog, Greg, Mel, Ravenne, Squid, Andy and his Wife, and a few others. Yes, Kinny got me talking after 1 drink....but trying to talk over Marty's DJing was difficult at times..especially talking art with Squid and Grog, wound up needing another Drink (Rum and Coke..WOOHOO!!!!) just to keep talking with a dry throat.

Fun was had by all...as far as I know, and we got all 3 of Andy's CD's with the last bit of money we had...Awesome thing. We've been wanting some Exotica that I can crank on in my discman while I work, and now I've got 3..YAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Hoping, and looking forward to hittin another event with the crowd, and hope to meet others soon.

The questions were passable, the answers- freakin hilarious.
Hope Spike has the cahones to put Mark on.
