I'll be making some announcements on the room crawl after Jan 1st in their own thread, so keep your eyes out.

Just a heads up, if you'd like to host a room, we ask that you stay at the Cabana.

More to come soon!!

Yea baby ! I got mine and they are spreading like a virus along the West Coast of Fla.!

Thanks Jim!

This is the year to introduce friends to the scene !

I started a Facebook group - The Hukilau - go on facebook, plug it in, and join.

I will be posting previous Hukilau images and Slideshows there.

The local Dive bar has 320 members and if The Hukilau group cant get more than that....well, I'll be shamed. Plus I heard there are virgins posting there!

Don't be selfish!
Share the wealth!

Southwest Airlines is running a sale so I just got roundtrip tickets to Fla. for just over $200. Anyone planning to fly might want to do some shopping before the sale ends in a couple days.

they are American instrumentalists.

OK, some of you are already packing.... ok a couple of you have already packed. You can admit it, we won't make fun of you. Much.

Anyway.... our summer has come a bit early this year. That means you really, really, really need to bring the sunscreen.

Really!

You may think its no problem, but you are so going to hurt when you are five shades of red.

And I am so going to slap you on your sun-burnt back and say "Hey! How's it going?" and then step quickly out of the way of you trying to punch me in the nose!

We're not bogarting it..... you were asleep when the nice lady came down the aisle and asked if you would like some summer. We told her not to wake you because you were doing that cute little thing where your nose twitches when you dream.

I'll tell you what, since you were asleep when she came around and missed it.... you can half of mine. I only ate off the one side.

Sweet!

We are kickin' peeps in the rear around here and should have a nice contingent coming from "SorrySota" and the Fla. West Coast.

You can sleep after Hukilau! I have been packing for weeks and I'm not even close to ready!

Heading to the Booze shop to stock up and take advantage of Memorial Day sales!
