Well, I missed both Oasis 2006 and Hukilau 2005 after never missing either of them - EVER!
Unless something really weird comes up, I will be at Hukilau this year!
Reserved a Clipper pad months ago but held off on the announcement until I was sure.
Can't wait to see everybody after a long absence.

Hey tikibob,
King Kukulele and I were just speaking about you a couple of days ago on our way to the Mai Kai.
We were wondering if all was well.
Looking forward to seeing you again.

Tiki Bob, you were the first Tiki Central person I think I ever met. When I walked into the lounge on Friday at the first Hukilau, you were there with Sven. I was crazy busy and blown away by what Wayne Coombs had done to the place. I didn't really know who you were then, but I remember meeting you and no one else but Sven that night... And then I remember you finsihing the Tiki Room song with King Kukulele at Trader Vic's the next night.
Looking forward to seeing you again in sunny FLA!

Swanky, I remember us meeting that night at the first Hukilau like it was yesterday. I like the way The Hukilau has grown but the intimacy of that first one was great. I recently emailed Christie and Otto with similar comments.
I also remember Sven, King and I hanging out most of the weekend. Watching the two of them brutally pick at each other was an entertainment event in itself. And it kept them busy so they didn’t pick on me!
Do you remember that there were about 12 or so of us that had dinner at Trader Vic's that second night before all the festivities started? What a connection I felt.
Pablus, I don’t think I have seen you since Brad opened his place in Augusta. Or maybe it was Hukilau 2004. I will look forward to seeing you. King and I first met either at the closing of the Kahiki in Columbus, Ohio (which is were Jeff and I first met – if I remember correctly).
And Jeff, what can I say, can’t wait to see your lecture on Exotica music. I will be the one in the back asking inane questions like, “What color shirt did Arthur Lyman wear when he recorded Yellow Bird?” or “What kind of car did Martin Denny drive when he played the San Diego Auditorium?” So get ready!
I am going to be coming in on Wednesday and staying until Monday. I am certainly up for any get togethers (translation: Day trip shenanigans) while there so anyone can give me a call. My cell is 843.514.5565 so lock and load.
Ben, looking forward to seeing you and I am going to have to locate ome lobsters for the trip! After all, it is my musical specialty.
And a shout out to Crazy Al ! ! ! Where is that picture of the Hulilau II Piggy back ride?

I will be bringing my collection of vintage island slides to show over the weekend. Probably show them late at night in whatever room everyone is hanging out in. Just look for Pablus. We'll hang a sheet if we can't find a white wall to show them on.
Tiki Bob, I have a side trip in mind, but it would be better suited to taking from Daytona if you should come down for the Hawaiian Inn this year. And if I can make it myself!
So, I will have a Kodak slide projector with me if anyone else has slides they would like to share. You bring your trays and I'll lug the projector.

Already STUPID giddy with excitement here! Found a cheap plane ticket, got my Big Kahunette Pass, Mai Kai 1st dinner reservation, rooming with a darling friend of Heelgrinder, and staying at the Cabana Thursday thru Monday. Planning a Monday day at the beach, the way Mean Gene, Pearly Shells and I did last year. (Anybody, join me for that!) 8:00 PM flight out. I mean, baby, I am planning on milking Hukilau fun *DRY*. And this year, I don't have to be all nervous about/non-drinking for the Drasnin thing! Now all I gotta do is diet my fat ass back into the dresses I was planning on wearing, dammit....
Tikibob, it has been WAY too long since you and I have made the same event!
For that matter, it's been too long since seeing ANY of you!!
hasta pronto!

I have an entire tray of Korla Pandit slides from his estate!!!!!!!!!
These have never been seen by anyone outside his immediate family I presume. This could be fun to watch eh?
Cheers and Mahalo,

Here's my little road trip plan. I'm flying into Tampa Bay on September 30th to visit Pablus and the holy grail of steakhouses, Bern's of Tampa.
On Monday and Tuesday I'm driving the Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) through Ft. Myers, Naples, and the Everglades to Miami. On Tuesday and Wednesday I'm staying with Unga Bunga in Miami Beach, to do a little research on the local bikini fashions for a article I'm writing for Modern Cad magazine (in case someone decides to publish such a magazine). On Thursday we're going to Fort Lauderdale for Hukilau! I'm staying at the Cabana.
Aloha, and see you in F-L-A!
