That was our first time as part of a John-O Production and it won't be the last. Many thanks John-O...fun, lively, informative. I don't know how you pull off the logistics.  Also big thanks to Bongofury for opening The Rincon Room up to a bus full of revelers late on a Saturday. Amazing place. And we even made last call at The Tonga Hut. Shockingly, I didn't dream of pineapples once we finally made it to sleep.
Photos! Some photos from Val's phone are below. I played with Hipstamatic and posted the results on Flickr.

Thank you John-O for yet another wonderful outing, possibly the best so far!
Thank you Bongofury & the Mrs. for being such gracious hosts and letting us into your wonderful home and backyard oasis you call the Rincon Room!
Thank you Jeremy and Amy for the Mai Tais when we returned to Tonga Hut just in time for last call!
The only thing I didn't like about this amazing event was the way my head feels today...But, it was worth it!
Great photos everyone! Just in case you all haven't seen enough, here is the first batch of my photos...

My wife and I had a "Spirit of the Tradewinds " Cocktail at the Tonga, rode a bus and shared more ct,s with some fantastic folks from Tiki Central, had ono grinds and more ct's with the previously mentioned folks and another contingent of tc'ers that had the Hong Kong Inn rockin when we poured in -let me catch my breath and start a new sentence. Whew, had another navy grog, got back on the bus and headed to the Rincon Room. Whats There to say.Wow! Finally met Ron and the lovely Mickey.Thank you Ron and Mickey for allowing us into your slice of paradise. Thank you to the Driver of the bus and to anyone that helped put this expedition together. John-O,many, many Mahalos,you are unbelievable!
David and CeCe, La Mirada
