Every now and then you meet someone who you will never forget, their zest for life changes you for the better. Thanks for the dance Bungy!

Those who know me in a small group, know me as an open person on a one to one basis, usually. And you might not think this, but I am constantly worried that me not remembering the names and faces of ALL the Tikiphiles I have met throughout the years will be interpreted as arrogance, and apparently it was in the above mentioned case. And then all Saturday I was upstairs seeing all the lectures (I even had to get food brought up there to eat something)and do mine, and BAM it was time to head over to the Mai Kai... [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2006-10-12 09:19 ] I missed the original complaint here but I just have to throw my two cents in. First off I have known Sven for a very long time and while he can be dry he is not rude. He has given a lot to the Tiki scene and the people in the scene. Try sharing your life, knowledge and passion with about 500 people in a matter of days (hours?) and see how you feel. Just to talk to so many different people is draining, let alone trying to keep to a schedule or, God forbid, take some personal time for yourself. Sven's forte is his research and diligence and he shared that with everyone in the form of a slide show. He delivered on that. I don't think it is fair to complain if he failed to be cordial to every single person at an event the size of Hukilau (I know how tough it is Sven!) Pop, if you are lurking I think an apology is in order

B Bohemiann Member Sarasota, Fla. Joined: Apr 29, 2004 Posts: 446	B Bohemiann Posted posted on 10/16/2006 I had a great time as far as I can recall. It was great to see all of the awesome people I met at the SF Pub Crawl out here & have a chance to meet some great new folks. To bad the Wahine could not make this one. I wish that I could have made it to all of the seminars but my schedule of consumption proved to be non-conducive to these activities. Do I know you people? These guys threatened to beat me up if I did not take their picture! Really! Cheer up, will ya! I did not get a chance to meet these guys but they looked like a whole lot o' fun! Great Balls Of Fire! Here are some more people I did not get a chance to meet. It must be my shy nature. By the way, HI! I'm Bill... er "Bohemiann". Sometimes I get confused and stop answering to Bill and it really confuses people at work. Here's one of those shots that did not really work out till I photo-shopped the s*%#! out of it [ Edited by: Bohemiann 2006-10-15 18:53 ] [ Edited by: Bohemiann 2006-10-15 19:08 ] [ Edited by: Bohemiann 2006-10-15 19:10 ]

K Kim Member Portland, OR Joined: Feb 24, 2003 Posts: 135	K Kim Posted posted on 10/25/2006 These are some selected photos from our trip-- Tikitronic & I were in New Orleans for a few days before we headed in to the Hukilau, so the set includes our New Orleans pictures too. It was lovely to see so many of our tiki friends again, and we had a great time, especially at the gorgeous Mai Kai! And we took note of some good ideas to...uh...borrow! for the next NW Tiki Kon! Tikimama and myself enjoying a delicious Sidewinder's Fang! Melintur and I trying to decide on beverages...ummm, Mai Kai. Monkeyskull against a background of the jam-packed bar on Saturday night. Some lovely shots of the Mai Kai.

The rest of the set (which is not anywhere near all the photos Tikitronic took!) is here.

At the risk of sounding too nerdy, what kind of camera did you use? The exposure is perfect - and thats saying alot in such a dark environment. MARK
K Kim Member Portland, OR Joined: Feb 24, 2003 Posts: 135	K Kim Posted posted on 10/25/2006 Digitiki, I'm pretty sure it was a Olympus SP-350 that we purchased at Costco, but I'll confirm with Mr. Tikitronic, since he was the talented photographer. He took a bazillion picutres, and, while many didn't turn out, quite a few are very good! Apparently drinking+low light=many crap pictures, so you have to take mutliples to get a good shot. :P

I have downsized and clipped some of the pictures, to make them load quicker .... and will let Formika's words and pictures describe the rest. " The magical spectacle at the beach started with pelicans – LOTSA pelicans. Here is the "before" photo at the beach on the Monday of Hukilau - the moment in which we were wondering why in the HECK so many freakin' pelicans were hanging around. " Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/329/453ffeb9.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=9764dc0e1a8799415cb84e9677f3d0c5 " When I approached the water to snap a shot, I heard everyone scream and what sounded like hard rain hitting the water. I looked from behind my camera to see a bajillion fish jumping – great churning waves of flying silver, shimmering in the bright Florida sun.

And why were the fish jumping? To sacrifice themselves as a tasty treat for the hungry birds, now swooping in for the kill? Ha! To avoid being shark bait! We didn’t see the underwater predators, but a woman with whom I spoke earlier said she’d seen a few there. Nurse sharks, 2 or 2&1/2 feet long. Coooool. Thanks to Formikahini for capturing these pics. I was almost wondering if it all really happened, or if it was the result of a 4 days of excessive rum consumption. Vern

Just wondered if it's old or new. -Randy This Mosaic has been there for at Least 40 years. I lived about 1 mile from there back in the mid 60's. That is the 'Kennan" Building and it was there when I moved there but then it was fairly new, so now it would be considered middle-aged and not Old byold city "Old" standards.

By nature, I am not a very social person, and I always hated family gatherings...my relatives' gatherings, that is. But this was a gathering of my TRUE family, the one I really feel akin to, and still, I simply got burned out. I had not met sooo many people for sooo long, and EVERYBODY was there, it was just too much! I just shut down at some point in the day. I didn't even talk to people that I really wanted to meet, like Benzart: All I could utter was a casual "Hello" and stumble on!!! I really apologize to him and his wife, and to the all the people I did not spend enough time with: Swanky, Tikibob, Elicia, Hanford and Michelle, Dave and Lezley, Alice, Casey, Zulu Magoo, Danny, Pablus, and all the others I can't think off right now (again: bad Sven!), please don't take it personally, I am just socially inept. The responsibility of being the Big Brother is not easy to handle sometimes. Those who know me in a small group, know me as an open person on a one to one basis, usually. And you might not think this, but I am constantly worried that me not remembering the names and faces of ALL the Tikiphiles I have met throughout the years will be interpreted as arrogance, and apparently it was in the above mentioned case. Again, I can only apologize for that misinterpretation, it was not my intention. But please do not insult my friends whose love for my work and me I truly appreciate, I know that their sympathy is genuine and honest, and has nothing to do with ass-kissing. Thank you for the love, kids! I guess I should not have spent the first half of Friday having fun doing a midcentury modern tour of Sunny Isles with my friends Charles and Pete, because that cost me my chance to really peruse the vendors room and meet everybody. I DID meet one of my main goals though, to share the complete print out of my new book with Ken and Heather, and Mimi and Rob, as thanks for their contribution. And when I was done with that, the vendors room was closed. And then all Saturday I was upstairs seeing all the lectures (I even had to get food brought up there to eat something)and do mine, and BAM it was time to head over to the Mai Kai... I can only IMAGINE how Christie must have felt, I don't know how she does it!
