Well well well,
Another far out Hooptylau went off and was a wild and well planned good time for all. Drunken Hat, Tikicleen, JT and Cheryl have once again proved that it is about the people more than anything else. Special thanks to Scott and Colleen for asking me to create the art for their event, which they have always done with love and a lot of hard work on their part. You guys are the tiki's knees. It was real pleasure to finally meet Kingstyedye, Sandy and Moondog as well as having Paranoid and Tiki kate make the scene. It was a pleasure hangin' out and sharing laughs and fried chicken with the folks who were able to make it. Sadly lacking were Hooptylau regulars Unga, Hanford,The Jab, Mr Smiley, Martiki, Rebecca and Cousin Clem. I will post my pics when I get a chance.
Chongolio a.k.a Lil Manila
P.S. My gizzards still kinda hurts.

Wow, thanks to our gracious hosts. It was a wonderful weekend. Wow, the Ohana spirit lives on. DH and TC, thank you thank you thank you for your continued efforts in putting this event together. I'm so glad we got to go to OnLok Sams, Polardville (sp?) before demolition, the gay Tiki bar, and MINNIES. The best though was the Dark Marq! JT and Cheryl, LOVE your backyard. I covet it. Thanks for your hospitality and the great food. Humu, great captions on the pics. 
Yeah we missed the regulars, so we stopped by FI on the way home to catch some of em. We shared our limited pictures with Martiki, BooLoo and Jab. They got to see the awesome Chongolio artwork and "special" visit by Cousin Clem. 
See allya'all in two days. Maholo.

I want to throw in my thanks to the hosts Tikicleen, Drunken Hat, Jungle Trader, and Cheryl. Thanks to Chongolio for the cool artwork, and to Moondog for the CDs. I am in love with the Dark Marq and Jungle Trader's lush oasis (I just wanted to sleep in that chair with my feet in the pool).
The event was very fun: the train ride, the gay bar, and the crashing and stealing of IDs from the high school reunion. Congratulations to MaiTai for winning the ribbion for him being able to dress himself.
Scott, I don't think the Gas Siphon needs a name change.

A HUGE Mahalo to everyone involved!! Miss D and I had a fab time, getting all hoopty and wasted with y'all. The addition of the Stockton stops were a blast - esp Pollardville.
Dark Marq and Jungle Trader's Outpost were better than ever!! Already looking forward to the next one. Hooptylau is definitely the most fun event of the year for us. Here's some of my fave pics:

It felt like we were still in San Francisco

"Reservior chickens or pollardville dogs" Classic Chongolio!! I love this pic. Infact, your slide-show had me in stitches. Great photos!!
Hey thanks BTW to Hat and Chongolio for putting the CD together-and to you too, Moondog- That was a real nice touch.

Had fun -- too much fun. Thanks to the hosts and drivers, thanks to chongo for the great art I won in the raffle and thanks to paranoid for advising on my poker hand.
Missed hooptiers from prior years and enjoyed the virgins. Guess I need to remove the modesto Tiki from the list of semi-regular drinking holes.
In agreement w/ congamike that this is the best event and hope it lives on.

Well, Yeeeehawwww to all m' goll darn tiki pardner's out there. Here's sum of my piks for all y'all to pe-ruze.
'Nuff said.
Miss Kitty and the rest o' the gals cain't wait to get this here horseless carriage back to their saloon.
Heer's a cuple of ornery ol' cow pokes, what dun came staggerin' outta the saloon!
Looks like we dun spread the word, and edju-makated sum of them varmints what's hangin' round the saloon!!!
We've done gotten all greasified on fried chicken and giblets on a bunnnn.
Dag-nabbit, Mai Tai, I told you to keep yer goll darn hands off my giblets!!!
Unfortunately, unbeknowngst to us, these were the last cowpokes to finish off chicken and giblets at Pollardville.
That Dang ol' Chongolio shows the love he has fur his beer, whilst I prepare to meet my maker.
Wellp, that's about all the pics I could snap off before m' goll darn battery dun up and gave up the ghost! So much for this heer fancy-schmantzy teknowlageee. But I must say that I was glad that I dun held onto my hat and glasses, 'cause this here Hooptylau was the most rip-roarin' ride in the wilderness!!!

So I have to agree with Limptiki and Conga Mike that Hooptylau is one of the best events ever! Thanks so much to the Drunken Hat, TikiCleen, Jungle Trader and Cheryl, and anyone else that I might have missed, for putting forth such effort, and offering such great hospitality by opening up their homes, and hauling our drunk asses all over the place. It is greatly appreciated by all of us! And on top of that, you guys give us prizes for dressing up in ridiculous outfits while prancing around drunk (something I'm sure I'd gladly do without much prompting anyways)!!! In my opinion, you guys are the ones that are deserving of the prizes! Again, thank you for your hard work and effort in planning yet another flawless Hooptylau!
Much thanks to Chongolio as well, fer doin' the dad gum artwork! And thanks also to Moondog for his Hoopty CD. Although some regular Hoopty folks weren't there and were greatly missed, it was great to meet some new Hoopty-ers, as well as hangin' out with the usual Hoopty Posse.
So, am I to infer that this Hoopty treat...
...has now been replaced by this one?

i know we have already said it, but we want to thank everyone so MUCH for coming out this way and experiencing the hooptylau. it's the people that really make this hoopty event rock, and we enjoy all of the creativity brought each year by all of you. i also want to send out a superbigsquishy mahalo to my friend chongolio (aka; lil' manila) for being a stud and helping me a tremendous amount. big thank you also to vic and cheryl for the wonderful day we had sunday, to tikihula for dem guns and holsters, and to thejab for pointing me in the right direction for the hawaiian western music (i gotta cd with your name on it dean!!!) 
also, it was totally great to finally meet quickiki, kingstiedie & sandy, tiki-kate, and moondog. i may have been really out of it sunday, but mr. kingstiedie thankfully wore bright colors which helped lift me out of my fogginess. it was cool to be in the presence of tiki-kate, tikihula and kings who have monster-like rare tiki collections. i just wish i could have participated more in the discussions!
first stop, on-lock sam
ray in action at on-lock sam. this guy has great stories to tell about all the big players back in the day involved with the islander. just dont let him drink you under the table...
