Main Event (click on pics for larger

George had a great day at
the
beach and is now contemplating
his next session (will it
be
surfing or margaritas?).
An old Huntington Beach
veteran, George is stoked
to
be surf riding again. |

Kim Gabrielson when her
margarita needs a refill
(that's Bruce to her right). |

Is this the Margarita Man? |
Does this look like a man
on
probation? No... just
one
of the margarita brothers. |
Is new member Pat Hoge
contemplating whether he
wants
to associate with this group?
An easy going addition with
Oahu experience. |
Amy Mantay is thinking
about an approriate sentencing
for Kirk sneaking away to
go
surfing the day before,
not
calling, and staying away
too
late.
"No surfing with
these posers
for 16 weeks!
So far, punishment has
consisted of rubbing Amy's
feet. I'd hate to see the
punishment for a real crime! |
Neal points the way towards
the margarita bucket. |
This is but one example
why Neal hosts the
Key West Fest every
year! Keep those paws
up there, Neal! |

You know the one!)

finer points of backside

he sees it. Loading
up on some more tasty
jerk chicken. |
When Kim strums away at
the
guitar the Snake finally
discovers "inner peace."

christ,
I hope that's a tail

KC really liked playing
with
the monkey. Where's 'Lana
when you need her? |
This might be Kirk's fourth
mongo cup of margaritas.
He's really worried
about
being on probation! |
Another sweet ASC couple,
Bruce and Kim. |
Neal and KC. |
More party people. |
George Vermillion and
KC FIler jammin'

painless after five
mackin' margaritas.

otherwise noted. |
Message
From The Host
I would like to thank everyone
that came to the KWF. I think most everyone had a good time. I was
glad to finally meet Art and Pat. They are great guys that I look
forward to surfing with. Thank you George and Art for playing your
accustic version of "Margaritaville" for the crowd. Everyone loved
it and thought it was a cool touch.
For those of you who could
not make it, Pat won 2nd runner up in the shirt contest and Rod and Beth
were 1st runner up with matching shirts. Hope you all enjoyed your
prizes! Grand prize went to Chris and Jen. They are close friends
of mine. They actually went to Key West and purchased outfits for
the
party.
Aftermath Stats
4 cases of Corona consumed
3-1/2 cases of Lite consumed
6+ gallons of frozen margaritas
consumed
18 pounds of jerk Chicken
consumed
55 Hamburgers consumed
20 Hotdogs
Lots of side dishes
Many buns admired, even
more bodies squeezed
Kirk adds a few words
Neal, had a blast saturday.
Great party. I am still coping with the revenge of Montezuma tequila. The
jerk chicken was great and we enjoyed all the festivities.
I'll be in NYC for a wedding
next weekend. Will probably surf the day before the contest, but that's
it.
Ouch. Time to make a run
for the border (again).
Rod comments
Many MAHALOs go out to you
and Amy. And mahalos for opening up the windows of the summer to all in
the ASC. The fiesta met and far exceeded all my expectations... and they
were very high going in. And, if you DIDN'T have a good time may I suggest
some counseling?

Soon!
Very nice rendition "Margaritaville"
on guitar by George and Art ... our very own ASC Surf Band. I recorded
it on my digital camera but the sound didn't turn out very well (go electric
next time!).
We love our monkey!
I mentioned to Beth that it would also make for a good GuidoPalooza prize
(keep it in circulation), but she gave me this dirty look. Besides KC over
fondling it I just can't figure out her intense attraction to it???
Footnote: Kirk and I consumed
one of those gallons of
tub filled margaritas.
P.S. Looks like we
have the makings for a full team roster at the contest. And don't believe
Mike Law in the other post - he was shredding on Friday.
P.S.S. Superb eye candy,
Neal! Everything a surfer needs!!! You had this old tanker feeling young
again :)
