Bargoyle.. Pappy.. thanks for your most excellent platform for polynesian and tiki debauchery.
I had soo much fun.. I forgot to take pictures. In the words of Alice from the Brady Bunch - "My 'Hu' went this way and my 'La' went that way.
I thought our visit to Kowloon was amazing fun! That place is a blast!
Bye to the New Tiki! snif snif
Mahalo to those of you that partook in the pleasures of Room 202 'Exotic Island'. The 16mm film festival went till 4am Sunday Morning, as we thrilled to the pleasures and adventures of the Creature, the Brady's, Ricardo Montalban and Tattoo, and a mermaid. Best of all was the vintage archive film of the Aloha chapter of the Shriners and their visit/cruise to Hawaii in 1952. Really great to meet you Ahu, Alice, P Pupule and Tiki Hana. So many others to mention but not enough time to fit it all in. Looking forward to your next visit to 'Exotic Island'.
To all the attendees of the NETT2 - thanks for a great adventure, SEE YOU SOON!
Jon

Wow this years NETT was great! I was a little too tired last night to say thanks to everyone that made this special so here goes. Thanks to Bargoyle & Pappy for all their hard work and efforts to make this a great event. Thanks to The Mayor of Exotica, Proffessahhummingflowah, Captain Quad & Rev Thumper for taking such great care of us on the bus!
The bands, the room crawls the "tiki" bars and of course the room crawls!
It was great meeting new people and seeing everyone else. I have like 6 pictures so I hope others took lots.

Kelly, loved the photo's. And I noticed you holding one of the New Tiki menus in the group photo. Well we missed this one, but we'll be there next time, by hook or by crook! I already signed up for the 3 hour tour for the Hukilau next year. Now I hope I remember to get the tickets when they come up for the main event.
