It will be just like Holden's Parking Lot Sale, only different. Squid will bring a snare drum and a cymbal and play along with CDs from Tikiyaki, Smokin Menehunes and Martini Kings and it'll be just like having 3 live bands for the price of one. Maybe we can get Crazy Al to swing by and vend out of his truck, and play along with Squid to a CD of Ape and it'll be almost like having APE down from San Fran area. Great idea Ernie! my only suggestion would be to tape a picture of GROG to Al's truck and have GROG stay at home.... so it'll be just like having GROG there,but we won't have to talk to him! :lol: Squid can sell the tees out of the trunk!

Its good to see all his hard work paying off . Hes finally getting some clams for his efforts . I feel priveleged and honored to be called a "c--t" by him him for no charge all these years but knowing I payed good money for it somehow makes his insults more heartwarming . I just wish I could collect them and put them on my tiki shelves so all my friends could see the things hes called me over the years . Imagine if he had a limited # of them and signed them too . We can only wish and wait .
