Don't mess with the Tiki

When you get one of these in the mail, consider it a warning:

I laughed when I opened the package from Mad Jeff - after all, it looks harmless enough - just a little tiki guy and a drum. MJ tried to warn me - "he looks a little angry" he said.

What could go wrong? I was headed to see those 80s superstars, the Police and Elvis Costello. The sun was shining. The tiki guy was playing music. I wasn't driving. Things were looking up.

I bumped into Mad Steve and crew at the bar. He was looking resplendent in his Tikal Tour Go Slow shirt. He bought me a few beverages.

I saw Elvis Costello. He rocked. I saw tons of people I knew. They bought me some beverages.

Then I saw the Police. (sorry for the low quality video)

Yes, that was G-money belting out the lyrics along with Sting as I was consuming another beverage.

He even got the ladies next to us to sing along - after they bought me another beverage.

That's when things got a little fuzzy.

There was a convention.  A conventioneer. Adult beverages. Talk of golf. A belly dancer:

And a late night run for the border.

When I came to, this was staring at me in the mirror.

 

I guess he does look a little angry.

At least I have this quote from Frank Sinatra to pull me through:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

Amen brother.

Go slow.
