Woo Hoo! Sounds like fun. Soccer Tiki and I might have to check it out. The Entertainment Book has a coupon for addmission to the aquarium. :)

The Aquarium of the Pacific is an excellent place to go. As a SCUBA instructor, it is nice to be able to go see the fishes and animals of the local Pacific waters when conditions don't allow for actual diving, as well as, seeing the beautiful tropical animals of Palau that I wish were right out my doorstep. Last year, they had a "Polynesian Theme" for the whole summer. I'm sure that this event will be well presented, if only for a weekend.

Johnnie, let me know when you and Lady Velour will be going. I have a membership there so I would love to meet up with you guys. My only conflict is Sunday after 3pm or so, when my friend from Maui is playing in El Segundo. (see thread at: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=15002&forum=4&3 )

Hope to see lots of TCer's there.

We found ourselves surrounded by a troupe of hottentots... er, Cub Scouts:

I tried (and failed) to get a decent picture of the flounder:

This lobster was alarmingly huge:

I'm not sure why they had birds at the aquarium, but they were my favorite part. Here's ladyvelour, all the birds suddenly appeared when she was near:

This moai is at the aquarium year-round, not just for the Pacific Islander festival:
