3:45 PM -- VOIP is all about the bare midriff.

And though that statement doesn't make sense on its own, with the help of Scott Hobin, account manager and resident staff photographer at Hula Networks, I've compiled a few select Hula images from this week's VON show to help turn my nonsensical phrase into a technology truism.

Or whatever.

90924_1.jpgIsn't it nice to see two sweet Hula girls getting along? Right next to each other. Slowly.

90924_2.jpgThe VON show's big kahuna, Jeff Pulver (far left), asks one unsuspecting Hula girl if she knows what it means to be "Pulver-ized". Sounds unpleasant.

90924_3.jpgOh, no. Look at those three Hula girls stranded at a booth all alone. Don't worry! I'll save you!

90924_4.jpgThe Hula girl on the far left looks like she's got a little Elvis lip curl thing happening there. "Thank yuh. Thankyuhveruhmuch."

90924_5.jpgThe stripes are slimming. Sort of.

90924_6.jpgThe shirttails-out extravaganza is in full swing now. Free beer. Plastic cups. Wall-to-wall khakis. It's party time.
