This sounds like an excellent reason to get out of town and to Austin! Can't wait to check out the Enchanted Lagoon and all...

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum and organized Tikiphilia, but I'm a Galveston BOI and a pro hula hooper, and I'm coming with Los SuperAvengers! I will bring hula hoops for us to play with!

Welcome cedarhoops! Sounds like awesome fun. I am so ready to get my hula on!
Grande Kahu, so glad you're making it!
Everyone, the Salt Lick BBQ is encouraging reservations. If you know you will be joining us Sunday for brunch, please let me know. Meeting time at the Salt Lick will be 11:30. Don't forget it is cash only and BYOB.

Aloha folks. Got a great crowd going for Saturday. Looks like 100 or so. Those asking about food or drink quantity to bring, please don't feel you have to feed everyone. Bring what you can (and that will be much appreciated), and we'll set it all out.
Festivities start at 7:30. PM me if you need directions. So looking forward to seeing everyone!

Aloha Koitiki & Dane
You've done it again! Thrown a great party, with rocking bands, luscious libations & awesome food. Thank you! Also, special thank yous to Combo Maholo & Los Super Avengers for the great tunes, to Son of Limbo Lizard for the fire dancing & to the Barton Springs Hoola hooper queen for bringing her hoops to share. Last but not least, we can't think of anything that beats a 3 AM swim in the Enchanted Lagoon....schweet!
Dobrolic, Hulacat & Castlehune

Best Austin Tiki Gathering EVAH!!!
Many photos were indeed snapped (I got to see 'em this AM), and much fun was had.
And as Dobrolic said, what can be better than a 3:00 AM (well, 4:30 AM) swim?
Answer: 4:30 AM swim in an enchanted lagoon with a Blood of the Kapu Tiki in your cup. 
Great music, great food and drink, great prizes, an aMAZing upstairs tiki room, and wonderful friends.
Koitiki and Dane are outstanding hosts.
Eat yr heart out, California

Confirmed time of final swim was 4:30 AM, and yes,...Koitiki's new tiki room is wonderful! All "...were(sic) haunted as if by a feverish dream."
The fortune cookie fortune said so.
Best comment of the evening: "All homes should be required to have a tiki room!"

So much fun!! I've got many mahalos to make and tons of cute photos to share. Will post it all as soon as my hangover subsides. In the meanwhile, here is a teaser pic to get you started.

The Enchanted Lagoon, as night begins to fall 
Monica with the great surf rockin' band, Los Super Avengers
Shaka! Hangin' loose in the kitchen at 1:00AM
Monica and I had another fantastic and mostly memorable evening (it gets a little hazy for me, after a point). The upstairs tiki den put me in envy-overload - so creative, great job!
Yes, I had rather a hangover, myself, Koitiki - though probably not as big as the monuments some were building up, that night  I tried to heed your posted warning about pacing, and did well, until late. Then I think I sort of loa loa'd the Nui Nuis a bit - just too good.
Our thanks to you and Dane, and to everyone else who helped you put it all together. Great food, drinks, music and, especially, great people.

GROG look through the pictures. Looked like a fun time.
The place turned out well Koitiki.
GROG not see any cowboy hats or Lonestar beer in the pictures. This was in Texas, wasn't it?
