Our Last TUESDAY this month will be a blast! We'll be there, bien sur mes amis! hee the only problem will be that the best drinks will be at the beginning thanks to Martiki!!! I'm REALLY gonna have to eat a BIG lunch to survive.

I love the Tonga Room (and Vic's, natch), but frankly it's our favorite bartender that'll get me over to SF. (Well, that and making the visit early enough to miss most of the rush-hour traffic!)

(warning: you are entering my random-thoughts zone)

If this early-happy-hour-in-SF addition to the Last Thursday concept doesn't work out, maybe we could just have a special 'Bother Martiki and Leave Him Big Tips" night every month anyhoo. Depending on what nights he works, really. I mean, twice a MONTH is not too often for me to see all you ohana! Sheesh! And it's in a different part of the Bay Area, so different people might be able to make it, too. You know how crossing that Bridge tends to Intimidate people. (especially with all this stupid construction.)

AND, if the Last Thursday concept were to stay East Bay only, mebbe once in a while we could include the Mallard tiki patio in Albany, especially since that way Tikibot AND Mrs. P (and the little pineapple!) would be able to join us more easily since it's right near their house. It's also a total straight shot (gulp? no pun intended) along San Pablo Ave. or the freeway to/from Vic's Emeryville. Mmm?

Plus, don't know if Robin still works there or if it'd even be on a night she works, but hey--along with Conga Paul, she is my OTHER favorite bartender, obviously.

Just thoughts! Use at your own risk! Ponder responsibly! :wink:
