Hey our Seattle bit may have been a 'one night stand', but boy, that Jet City tribe knows how to show strangers a good time!

Wowza!

Pretty high TPM (Tikis per minute!) rate, they've got going there!

Dogbytes' post covered the who's who, but I can't tell you how shocked we were that our 'hey we're blowing through town' resulted in a Tiki posse!

The mixology was pretty darn impressive; from the soon to be MUCH celebrated 'Rongorongo Rickey'! (Mmmmmmm! That was GOOD!) To a Mai Tai that just magicly appeared at the backyard Bali Hai- then again, we were just so stunned staring at the wonder of the Backyard Bali Hai that drinks magicly appearing out of thin air seemed practically normal by comparrison!

The spaces- both the Rongorongo Room and the Backyard Bali Hai (and yet unnamed house as well) are top knotch! A Seattle crawl is long overdue!

And well deserving mention all its own- the soundtrack(s)! for the evening! Selector Lopaka has the touch! Wonderful Exotica, interesting versions- perfectly flowing one to another! Fantastic! Tuesdays at ThaiKu feel very exotic indeed- and for a non-Tiki venue, it set exactly the right vibe.

(To think I've enjoyed hearing the musical stylings of DJ Lee, Otto, AND Selector Lopaka on this trip- I feel very lucky indeed!)

Seattle is a destination that should be on every Tikiphile's list- specifically for the wonderful home bars and the hospi-Tiki-tallity!

My only regret was not getting to see other's spaces or spend more time talking with some of the other folks- reason enough to return!

And Mimi, you and I have a menu discussion ahead of us up here in Vancouver!
