Memories from Hukilau 2010, Fort Lauderdale
Posted on June 14th, 2010 11 comments
There’s nothing like getting a bunch of swingin’ kats and kittens together with island music, vintage threads and lots of rum. Well kids, let me tell you, his year’s Hukilau didn’t disappoint. From tattooed chicks in short skirts and flower leis to guys wearing palm tree shirts and short-brimmed fedoras, the eclectic crowd that swamped Fort Lauderdale was more fun than a barrel of fez-wearing monkeys.
That's me, Tiki Chris with three of my best girls - Colleen, Shannon & Molly
If you’ve been to an event like this (or to this one) you know how much fun can be packed into a couple of rum-drenched days. If you haven’t then you should definitely plan to. Our presence at the event was truncated due to a busy work schedule, but we still had a fantastic time on Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted on June 14th, 2010 No comments
Me, our friend Molly and my wife Colleen at the Mai Kai Saturday Night.
Hey Kats & Kittens, just wanted to clue you to the fact that a groovy new post will be swinging your way before the moon jumps high in the sky. Hanging out at the Hukilau kind of put ole Tiki Chris behind a few steps in the writing (and gig) departments, so stay loose as a goose and hang in there…Hukilau photos and funstuff to come tonight, Mod Movie Monday will be…well, probably Mod Movie Wednesday this week!
Later Kids,
-Tiki C
