The only other folks in there were some suits next to us talking shop. As I ordered my third drink in 15 mins, the older white haired guy that all the other guys were fawning over, turns to me to smile and asks "am I having a good time", to which I say "yes indeed sir, I am". After my reply, I ask if they are involved with trader vics?, to which the older guy says "you could say that". Not being one to miss a chance to voice my opinion ,I ask "why don't you guys put lights back in the fishing floats like the good old days before the decore got so watered down?". The older guy turns to a now red faced suit and asks "what about those lights?", he shifts in his chair and says "uh, I don't think they have lights", to which I respond "that's the problem here, no color!". Now the older guy is grinning at my grilling, so to lighten things up I tell them how much we love the drinks and the food, we just long for the good old days of magic in the decor. The manager (red faced suit) then tells me that the older guy is "the main man at trader vics", to which I respond "oh, you are one of the Bergerons?", to which he says "no, they are the owners" and produces a card for me with the name Hans W. Richter, president and C.E.O. of trader vics!!. Well, imagine my shock!. Here I thought I was rousting some manager dweebs and I get the big fish. I asked about the new S.F. T.V. and he said it is great and asked if we had been there yet?, I said no, but we will see it in july, to which he invited us to drop him a line when we come up so we can hook up for drinks, SWEET!!.And here I am in the loudest hawaiian shirt in a 10 mile radius!. Life can be very cool . Peace out keep the rubber side down ,the gas on and the drinks coming! [ Edited by: twowheelin'tiki on 2005-02-23 22:11 ]
