STOP THE PRESSES:

$1 MAI TAI in Emeryville!

Woo-hoo!

Those of you plannig to visit on the 7th might want to reconsider - Trader Vic's corporate is now on-board...

The latest missive:

"Hey James:
Thanks for your email.
I don't remember if I forwarded a copy to you, but I contacted all the
managers at all 22 restaurants around the world about this.

I talked yesterday to Patrick Cahuzac, manager in Emeryville. He says they
will be offering Mai Tai's for " 100 cents " . A buck each, but I guess 100
cents sounds better for the 100th birthday.

Sven Koch, V.P. for U.S., is returning to the office today and as soon as he
walks in the door I will ask him about Chicago. I don't understand why they
didn't seem real excited about this. Did you talk to Girly Fedilo ? She is
the manager there.

Anyway, I will talk to Sven (a manager, not Kirsten! - JT) when he comes in today and I will let you know.
We want to thank you for this, we dropped the ball, it seems.

I also just talked very quickly to the Manager in London, Yavuz, and he says
they definetly will be doing something to honor the day. I agree,with you --
half-price Mai Tai's or anything to do with Mai Tai's is the way to go.

I will get back to you...

THANKS, JAMES !! ALOHA !"
