To say a good time was had by all would be an understatement...we had a great time...and to add something to think about as to the out of townees attending the gathering...we would definitely consider opening our home to you to spare the motel costs...dwell on it and use it to consider another visit...glad we met the really fine Tikis that did travel...

Aww Castle is adorable!
Julie really missed seeing her again. We are still waiting on a check so we can replace the car. for now we are still driving the truck, and she likes to drink more than me!
As for the group not being very big, I like that. It feel more intimate to me. We'll be down soon to visit, promise!!

Big Mahalo to Kenike! I had a great time meeting everyone. The atmosphere was great, the drinks were top-notch and the company was fabu-tiki of course! Fun conversations with HulaCat, Kenike's wahine, Tropical Iceberg, Texas Tikiplex and his aikanes. As far as gathering the Texas folk, I suppose we are at a disadvantage being in such a large state. But what the hey, we should just get together whenever and wherever we can. I'll volunteer my backyard anytime! I have a few pics I'll post them when I get them downloaded. Thanks again Kenike. Austin next time?

I have pics to post, but I left the camera at the boat (I hope!). As soon as I get back to pick it up, I'll get any good ones up here.
Assuming no conflicts, we'd be up for something in Austin.

It was a Queen's Park Swizzle. Tasted much more potent than TV's Zombie (and your photographic evidence seemed to bear that out).

Found my camera, and also found that I didn't take many pics, and none were great. Still...
And now for a few, "Insert Your Own Caption" pictures:

Mrs. Benehune: "Benehune's is gonna be THIS BIG, in the morning!"
Hulacat: "Uh, calm down. We ARE still talking about hangovers, right?"
