I'm also looking forward to meeting that crazy guy who is taking a Friday night red-eye, arriving Saturday morning and then flying out again early Sunday morning. Oh wait... that's me!

I'm looking forward to meeting all sorts of people, but what I'm *really* hoping for is that this year, I won't get home and find that I missed meeting some TCers while there.
A fantastic way to get to meet lots of folks is by volunteering, especially at the registration table. It's easy, and a lot of fun (and you sometimes get a sneek peek at the vendor area, and other special treats):

Somehow I managed to read the following as "face-to-ground connections" and thought sounds like some of us... (well, me)

But more than that, I'm really excited to meet my East Coast Ohana on their stomping grounds. I look foward to making those face-to-face connections.

Needless to say, I've been in front of a computer for entirely too long!

Driving through 6 states to bring the Tikis of the Midwest to South Florida!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again... and meeting new faces!
A fun part of vending is meeting everyone who passes by your table.

I have been to 5 of the 6 Tiki Oasis and it has always be my experience that I will run into old friends and make several new friends. This is my first trip to Hukilau, looking forward to both. I am volunteering this year, so I will likely run into lots of you.

No one has greater passion for life and tiki than FreddieBallsomic. It is a beautiful thing! I can't think of a better venue to meet anyone than the 50th anniversary of the Mai Kai and 5th Hukilau.
The festivities, hanging out with FB, getting to meet Bungy, meeting up with the Florida Ohana which is ALWAYS tops and seeing the other TCers that I have had the pleasure of getting to know at tiki events throughout the year.....could there BE any more to look forward to?
I fear that there will not be enough hours in the day...but I will do my best to make everyone of them count

Those crazy Italians, that Crazy Al, all the smokin' wahinies, all my west coast pals that can make it, the other east coast ohana, the Ohio gang, and all the wonderful friends I made there last year. Humuhumu is spot on about meeting folks through volunteering, so contact the Pugs or TK and sign-up.
