The Islands of the Fraternal Order of Moai

I'm a tourist venturing into uncharted waters. I have never met so many cool peeps as some of you guys and gals...Ohana was one of the best weekends of my life and I for once felt like I was in a place and around people I belong! Thanks for putting together such an amazing event. Can't wait for the next adventure...visiting The Hula Hop in August!!!!

We may have met..I never know...I met so many great people. As stated I live in West Virginia..not much Tiki in these parts or people interested in Polynesian Culture..for that matter not much culture other than Appalachian Culture. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor, I found out about Ohana through a fellow FOM member. I was asked a couple years back if I would be interested in donating a piece of art for the charity in which I did..I was asked if I was going to Ohana this year and would I be interested donating again..I donated the painting of the Green Moai and a knife made of moose antler and fiber optic glass. In my heart Im a Tiki Pirate, Tropical Gardener & Artist while holding a daytime job and trying to solve all the worlds problems...oh and I don't care much for my day job.

And, I too lived in West by God! I was in Wheeling in the mid 90's and still have good friends there.

Hang on.....wait a second.....can we just go back and point out that Tiki J used the term "hubby".




That happened.
And nobody's gonna point it out, huh?
Really?
We're all just gonna let that slip on by without so much as a whisper.



I expect better of you FOM.

You didn't text both her and her "hubby" in a locing jovial manner when she posted it?

You must have spent too much time exploring the back channels of Key West to stay on top of things.
