MAHALO to the Ben and Vicky , my boys Pop, Bong,Puppy, and everybody else. Laney, that was me grabbing your friends booty. Oh wait,...that was Holden's bootay. I couldn't help myself. Alright, anyways I snuck on in at the last second and was glad I made it. So then me an Big Al went cruizing in my hooptie and found a dead-end street. The bus even beat us back to Ben's. Thanks for the T, Ben.

Sabu, that was a VERY funny and well-told story--you're a terrific writer.
I play it safe by always assuming I'm NOT being picked up on. Bravo for you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I LOVE this rhyming trend amongst you Hoiti-Toitis, too. What's next? The Hoiti-Toiti Songbook, perhaps?

It's only because I'm now engaged to be married. The pressure's off because I know the flirtation isn't going to go anywhere or lead to anything but some good-natured banter. If I was still single, I'm sure I would have frozen up and not said anything at all.
Tikibelle is getting flirted with a lot more in Flagstaff too since we've been engaged. Unfortunately, with her it's all intended flirtation. I just seem to get the women mistaking me for waiters.

Ha ha, Laney
Where were you when I needed you two years ago?
A feisty fox AND a tiki tease!
Let's go share an appetizer at Billy's and roll some bartenders.

Aloha, gang!
I'm finally back from the dead and just wanted to say that we had a wild and wacky time with all the usual suspects and new TC folks we met along the way!
Thanks again to the Bongs for 'financing' the whole gig, Bamboo Ben & Mrs. Boo, for hosting and Poly Pop for keeping us in line (great idea bring the conch shell!). Also, special thanks to Trader Pup for those ever cool name tags and CD.
Lucky, despite all "hoity toitiness" at Billy's, I still think it was a great suggestion to go "behind enemy lines" and shake up the "old boy" and "hot babe" network! We could not possibly had any better entertainment and I think this kinda clash with the establishment is a healthy thing!
By the time we got to Sam's, all was a blur to me so forgive me if I didn't get to talk to some of you. I definitely felt the presence of the Chiki Tiki and I hope one day to finally meet the ellusive Two Wheelin' Tiki (this is the second time I missed you at Sam's.
Finally, let me say that the Menehunes were Smokin' -- I dig your sound! Hope to catch you playin' the patio at Billy's sometime!
See you at Tiki Oasis!

Lucky-
Cool pics! I remember nothing!(well, bits and pieces) Thank god you didn't get us on the floor in the dining room at Sams! Our legs gave out at the same time and what a better palce to lay down for a while! (I swear it wasn't the booze!)
Mr. & Mrs. Boo
p.s. why is it taking Big Al so long to post his set? (like Holden said, maybe he's raking in the bribes!)(need a bar Al?)

Spiko AWESOME pics.
OK I am sorry about that slap
You get one free shot next time
I think I owe Lapu also, at least a smoke?
Ben, thank you for the gift for being your wife's kick stand and I think punch stand too.
Arty, my eyes are still burning after turning around to get on the bus after Butthole Billy's and seeing two more buttholes staring at me.
Laney, I don't know why you think your the "bitch" from the board? It was so nice to meet you finally and hear "I don't get what you write, but whatever" that was it, that is all I have to judge you by.
Sam's had the best tasting water of all the places we went that night, friendly too!
Did you guys see the faces of the people at the RH when we just kept filing in and filing in.
It was very cool meeting carver Zach also.
Hey, BIG Al where are you brutha, we need pics and words of wisdom
PP I still want that BLUE pen back, have you started to smile again? You did a great job, Bong chose the best man for the job. True dedication.
I want more Smokin Menuhunes, they are S M O K I N!
The only bummer about the bus was not being able to get the front half singing with the back half, we needed Mr. Microphone.
Holden, we need to start that special movie post in beyond, it should be funny as hell, we just need to limit two names per post.
Anyway I am sure I am not making sense so
SEE YA

The local bruddah bouncers at the Royal Hawaiian were way cool. They let all the TC'ers in ahead of a long line waiting outside. Man, Tiki does have its perks!

Mahalos to everyone involved in the making of O.C. Tiki Crawl III. Sally and I had the best time. Good grinds, good tunes & good ohana! Don't remember all the details, but after checking out the great pics posted here, some lost moments are returning. Loved meeting everyone. Hope to get together again soon.
The aloha is alive & well in O.C.

Aloha, Gang!
Here are some photos of that fab foray! What a gang we have! And, by the way, for those of you who made me question my English skills: "weird" is indeed spelled as I write it. I before E except after C and in the cases of Anaheim and Weird. Check it out! Thanks to all for a memorable Crawl!
