Oh YEAH ! Tiki Cat 67 and Hula Cat were late for the bus in Attleboro we went to the after crawling thru traffic caused by an accident and had to adjust ....we went just up the road to the MOST non tiki Polynesian restaurant ever .we imagined it into one of those makeover shows and were amazed at how great it became ! food was passable...large screen TV w/football(at least it was the Pats),loud country juckbox , a free solitary pool table and a sorta OK scorpion bowl....and the prospect of the tour and more tomorrow!

I give him a lot of credit. There wasn't enough alcohol consumed at our whole table to get me up there.

Thank you so much to Bargoyle, Pappy and everyone else who helped to put on such an amazing event! Thank you also to WAITIKI for giving us such a great show, to Hula Cat for the lovely bracelets and everyone who donated prizes. We had the best time. I'm ready to go again!

I can't seem to post pics to TC right now bit I do want to make a post this morning.
Thanks to everyone for not only coming, but for being helpful, being friendly and making an instant community. Without question, the best 50 people I've ever been locked up all day with!
Thanks a million to the Friends of the Tour. Please patronize the artists and vendors who donated stuff. I hate to single out one but Thor--you're generosity had everyone floored. Thank you! There's no way there would be a Tour next year without the help of our Tour Friends.

Thanks too to Beth and Rain and Tiki Cat for their special donations!
Let's give Sully the biggest hand. He fronted all the money for this shindig and it's only by his hard work this came off.
Thanks to anyone who helped and no one's thanked them yet! (OK, that's lame but better than nothing.)
I had a blast and I sincerely hope everyone else did too. Gooo Tour!
...and if anyone came home with a black Bali Hai mug and menu by accident, could they PM me?

Still trying to piece together the sequence of events but one thing's for sure - we had a wonderful time!
Lotsa laffs, lotsa fried, citrus, something about a mug, burlap...
It was a pleasure hanging out with all of you. What a fun bunch! Round Robin was a blast. People went all out. Hope to get together again real soon.
Huge thanks to Bargoyle, Pappy, & everyone who assisted and those who donated prizes.
Let me get in one last "WOO-HOO!"
U.S. TOUR next?

Unbelievably good time - thank you Bargoyle and Pappy and everyone!

AloooooooooooooooHA!!!!
Ok, its Monday morning and I'm STILL feeling hungover. Or maybe its just a mild concussion from smacking my melon on the bus one too many times!!
Once again, thanks to everyone who donated or lent a hand in bringing it all together, but I also want to thank everyone for just coming & having a good time.
An event like this is what YOU make of it, and we were lucky enough to have 50 great people who made it an absolutely amazing couple of days.
So, Mahalo to all for not only coming, but participating.
We got off to a rocky start, but after that, when I finally stopped stressing, I had a great time. So, thank you, all of you, for making my day.
Great to see old friends, great to make new ones. Hopefully we'll get some pics up here soon.

The First Annual NE Tiki Tour was so much fun! See, now that I've written 'First Annual' publicly, it means it needs to keep going.....
Thanks so much to Bargoyle & Pappy all those who were generous with their on-board cocktails, swag, music & raffle items- it was a real treat! And on top of that, I met some really great people.
Aloha!
