Okay kids-- it's almost 3am and I've had, by myself, three volcanos. (One at Sam's, two at the Bamboo Hut.) It was kind of a crazy night-- a last-minute logistical problem almost hosed us at the Bamboo Hut-- but we DID IT!!! AND WE GOT EVERYBODY IN!!! My "legs" sunglasses remained intact without getting stolen. I think a lot of TC people went over to Hawaii West to catch the rescheduled Petty Booka... I am dying to hear how that went.
In the meantime, the night is pretty much over, and I'm waiting to hear any other reviews. MIA: one mr. Hanford... and also one miss Tiki Cutie. WHERE THE HECK WERE THEY?!?!?!!
Okay, going to go pass out...

Still able to type.

I owe everyone a HUGE apology ... (especially martin - I hope you got the message I left for you at the tonga room) thanks to my lack of direction (and the city's severe lack of parking) I completely flaked. After leaving Sam's I tried to find the Tonga Room and ended up in Chinatown. By the time I made it to Bamboo Hut (at 10 to 10) you could barely get in the door it was SOOO packed. So I decided to cut my losses and drive back to the south bay. I never did find the tonga room...

Hey Mig.
TikiCutie walked into the Tonga Room for a short visit. You didn't see her? She was dressed all in blue. Looked cool to me.
As for me and the Mrs., we loved the whole thing, I am in awe. I will post more later (very tired). And I'll get a slide show up within a couple days. It was great meeting all of you, even those I didn't meet. HA!

A joyous night!
I'm just going through the memories and trying to sort out names, faces, and events.
Such fun, such frivolity, I love it!

Tikimel-- darnit, you should have stopped at the BH anyway! At that time, it was *totally* empty inside-- but there was a huge line outside. They were holding the line so that they could let all the Crawlers in at the same time. At about 10:20, they let in all the Crawlers, while still keeping the randoms outside.
It was a bit crowded, so a lot of people went over to Hawaii West (small Asiany, hemi-tiki bar) a few blocks away.
I'll post my own pictures soon...

Who put the sulfites in my pu pu's at the Foggy Grotto!?! I almost met the Big Kahuna in the sky!!!
In case you are wondering what the heck happened to me on Sat, little did I know that Martiki had secretly attempted to bump me off-there were sulfites hiding in the pu pu's-shrimp poppers, etc. I have a very serious allergy to sulfites-was hospitalized before for it...I didn't want to embarrass the Centralites by ordering up an ambulance to rescue me from the Tonga, so I hid out and eventually cabbed home.
Worst part of it all was I didn't get to see much of the Tonga, and never made it to the Bamboo Hut!!! Missed a big chunk of the crawl! Good news...I'm still here, and as tacky as ever. Next year I'll bring my own stash of snacks and wear a medical alert bracelet...but with tiki charms on it so it looks cool.
here's a round of Mai Tais for you all!
Love ya all!!

Fun! Was! Had!
Big, big thanks to all involved in pulling this feat off, especially Martiki (who's Foggy Grotto was deee-vine). I didn't get a chance to meet & talk with everyone, but the vibe was there and I felt like I was with family. Can't wait for the next event!
Here's my crappy pics -- the first half are very bad, as I had my camera on the wrong setting (oops!):

And here are my pics!
I myself didn't make it to the Tonga Room-- the executive decision was made to get to the BH early to stake out spots and make sure everything was okay to get everybody in. A good move, as it turned out.
Anyway, my pictures are at:

Enjoy! So nice to meet so many people finally! (I won't start listing because we'll be here all day.)

Good drunken times!
I really enjoyed meeting the SoCal contingent that came up for the crawl:
PolyPop(I thought you'd be taller), TraderPup, HulaHula, Floratina & Sugarcadddydaddy.....a fun group indeed & not the least bit "hoity-toity"!!
It was great to see SweetPea & TikiMamma (& crew), who are totally hilarious & we dont see nearly enough of!
I had a great time as usual, but where the fuck was Hanford???
