NEXT YEAR! :)

She took me to Roy's - what a great polynesian experience. Glad I got to meet you and the Wahine and thanks for the pictures. Oh, I ment to tell your wife that she reminds me of Belinda Carlisle. Has anyone ever told her that? Aloha, Tiki Bob

Did you have the volcano for dessert? No, I haven't heard that my wife looks like Belinda Carlisle before. Others, but not her. One of the best, was one Halloween and she was dressed as Carmen Miranda with a brown wig and someone thought she looked like Geena Davis. Well, you know what they say.... all blondes look alike!

T TikiGoon Member The Exotic Isle of Mar "Maryland" Joined: Sep 09, 2003 Posts: 82	T TikiGoon Posted posted on Mon, Sep 27, 2004 8:44 PM Well Hukilau 2004 will be a trip I will never forget. Even with all the hassle of the hurricane I still had a great time. The people I met were all GREAT! I was in denial about the evacuation till 9am Saturday morning. We spent $65 riding around in a taxi looking for a hotel with rooms, before cutting our losses and heading to a shelter. There was no way we could hang in there. We decided to rent a car and either drive to an open airport or right to the Mai-Kai. Both my buddy Kris’ wife and my wife were pretty angry and thought we were out of our minds for going to the Mai-Kai. I couldn’t have ended my Hukilau any other way! We left shortly after we finished dinner, because we figured we would just drive from there to Key West until we found a hotel with rooms. We found a room at a Super 8 only a few miles from the Mai Kai right on Rt.1. Guess the Tiki Gods were on our side after all. Here is a link to some of my pictures from the trip: Rick’s Pics [ Edited by: TikiGoon on 2004-09-27 20:45 ]

C cybertiki Member Fort Lauderdale, FL Joined: Jun 28, 2003 Posts: 234	C cybertiki Posted posted on Tue, Sep 28, 2004 1:11 PM I'm still recovering from Hukilau and the Hurricane. When it stops raining, I'll go up and replace the rest of the shingles that weren't replaced after the first hurricane. Right now, I'm drinking large quantities of rum and honey with lime juice to try to kill whatever it is that seems to be trying to knock me down. It tastes rotten, but after about five of them, I stop caring. Hope this works ... I have a few more pics that are out getting developed (yes ... developed ... don't ask), and I'll scan and post them when they come back. In the meantime, here is my first attempt at posting something thru shutterfly. This is just from the Tiki Beach cruise. Thanks to all my fellow TC'ers for an incredible time!

M MosaicMoai Member Memphis, TN Joined: Sep 28, 2004 Posts: 3	M MosaicMoai Posted posted on Tue, Sep 28, 2004 6:00 PM I know this isn't a Hukilau-specific post, but I'm a rule breaker! It was great meeting all of you at the event. I was the guy with the MosaicMoai tattoo and my wife hurt her back on Friday, so we missed most of the event. I did get to meet some great people on the boat ride and we were able to make it to the Mai Kai show. Depsite the hurricane and my wife's injury we had a great time and will go again next year. This is a photo from my annual Mardi Gras Crawfish Boil. This is one of the first Moai chiminea's that Tim made. Don't do this at home (unless you're drunk and full of crawfish). That's me near the fire and my pal Tim with the Emo's jacket. Cheers, Larry "MosaciMoai" [ Edited by: MosaicMoai on 2004-09-28 18:03 ]

I think it is great. From what I hear from Toa you are pretty protective of its origin. Not that I am interested in a tatoo, but I think it would make a great pool bottom. Can you share with me where you got the idea? Here's the deal about tattoos: You know the one's on the wall when you walk in? People actually get those. I don't have any of those and would like to be the only one with this particular (over a year in the making) tattoo. That's why I don't want it in a book (or even really online). That being said, I got the idea from a mosaic wall hanging of Easter Island I saw back in 1991 in New Orleans. It was $400 and I really wanted it, but couldn't afford it. Then it was gone.... When the Book of Tiki came out, I was surpised to find my wall hanging in the book! Then I decided that I needed a tattoo of this piece (which I changed around a bit) so that I could have it forever. Funny thing is, it cost more to get the tattoo than the original wall hanging! Oh well... Larry

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Tue, Sep 28, 2004 10:32 PM Here are 17 of my of my favorite pictures from the past weekend .... It was hard to describe the feeling when I looked and saw in the distance this tiki ship/barge/portable island arriving.... I was watching closely as it maneuvered closer to the dock -- and then heard a steady cracking sound of wood splintering, as one of the pillars for the dock was torn away. An omen of the upcoming hurricane? (Those posts in the picture are suppose to be vertical)..... Billy Mure and myself.... Billy and Debbie dancing up a storm, pre-storm..... King Kukulele, all framed up.... Mr and Mrs Cybertiki.... and their daughter, Christina, on stage at the Mai Kai with King Kukulele..... a Mai kai fire dancer... with the Mai Kai audience enthralled ... Preparing some ice cream flambe.... Myself, enjoying a flaming Kona coffee grog.... Me again, in the Mysterious Mai Kai Gardens, hanging onto two pillars. I have no idea of what the white floating ball is in front of me ... some ghostly figure that appeared only on film.... Mr and Mrs Surburban Hipster ..... James, Formikahini, and Bamboo Ben.... No king sized bed, no mirrors on the ceiling, but I am still a very happy man... A few of us who were at the Mai Kai Sunday evening ..... and my final drink of that evening - and some good reasons to return again some day.... Vern

Can you email me a larger version of it. All the pictures I have of it don't show that it is a free floating boat. I remember talking with you on the boat, but didn't relize you were from the D.C. area. Here is a pic of me so you can put a face with the name.

Man, that sucks. I am alive and recovering now. Hukilau has been like being a war refugee. It was f&^$ing awesome to see home! I may never go to Florida again! I hope there was fun had. I have no idea. It's all a blur of a nightmare to me.

LS Lake Surfer Tiki Socialite Milwaukee, WI Joined: Oct 21, 2002 Posts: 3417	LS Lake Surfer Posted posted on Thu, Sep 30, 2004 11:17 AM Hukilau has been like being a war refugee. It was f&^$ing awesome to see home! I felt the same way as we headed our way home... always trying to stay ahead of Jeanne... I also felt I and we were robbed... not your fault, the hurricane's fault. It was too short of a party and had I known better what to do I would have stayed in town for Saturday night. I really didn't know my options and regret getting out of the state so quick. I am very dissappointed that I missed the Mai Kai. But I had a great time at what did happen and hope to return again next year! The rest of my trip was ruined also... I didn't get to stay with my friend in Melbourne and surf for three days like I wanted to for the last year... Damn the weather...
KK Kava King Tiki Socialite Kensington-on-Avondale Joined: Sep 20, 2002 Posts: 217	KK Kava King Posted posted on Thu, Sep 30, 2004 12:34 PM Hukilau was a real gasser. My Wahine (recently dubbed "Kava Queen") & I wrung every micron of fun out of every minute spent amongst the beautiful people of Tikidom! Well, except for the scaredy-cat time spent deciding whether to bug out or not... Yeah, it sucked leaving a day early; but one nice side effect was being so relieved over not being killed as to negate the usual post-Hukilau depression effect! Thanks to Swanky & Kiliki for staging another fantastic event! Hope you're both doing well at the Betty Ford Center. :D

We'll have a great story to tell the kids. The warmth and kindness of the tiki ohana has really stuck in my mind. Next year I'm bringing a bigger suitcase so I can bring home more stuff! DrunkenMunky just informaed me that we NEED a pole to be the corner post of our Huki Lounge. Keigs? You're in Washington, right? I know Lonnie & Ginger were talking about coming to visit you, we may come down as well, with a van. :)

King Kukulele has his first drink at the Mai Kai and he's gone! A message Kern was sending to Holden. Our boys from Italy (and CA) on the open water. Me with Billy Mure. Someone should have stopped me. But I had a great time Thursday night I am told! Enjoying the Mystery Drink on Saturday. Who's up for a make up date? I feel like I didn't get enough out of this Hukilau. I need more. Maybe a weekender with Pablus... Swank Blather- Talkin' atcha [ Edited by: swanky 2006-06-21 11:48 ]
