More Hawaiian Inn Party stuff!

Marian and I went to see the Christmas show at the Hawaiian Inn two weeks ago. We touched base with Wayne and Teauila and they are looking forward to hosting our upcoming tiki party for another year. The only stipulation is that Flounder and Cybertiki are banned from the premises...

Good news for the rest of us though... Wayne said it is no problem for the Haole Kats & the Crazed Mugs to set up Saturday afternoon inside the showroom. In fact, he thought the whole idea sounded great. I still need to make sure he'll have a bartender on duty for us, but I don't think that should be a problem. I'll ask for Frank since he loves to abuse us so much.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but judging from posts, I am thinking we'll have about 30 of us - about the same as last year. Although this number should be no problem, when you make reservations for Teauila's Hawaiian Luau and Show just tell whoever answers the phone that you want to sit with the "tiki party", or "Geoff's tiki party" and they'll add you to our party. Seating is usually fairly flexible, but it is better to give them a heads up on who you want to sit with.

Pablus: I have no idea what room they are going to give us. I also made a reservation for the largest room they had available but don't know where it is located. I'll call Wayne soon to see if he can work something out. I agree it would make things easier if we could be as near each other as possible.

Also Pablus, are you mixing the Zombies this year, and is there anyway we could score some fruit from Rusty's trees? Even though he won't be with us, I would love to have him contribute to the party in this way. I think he would smile about it. We'll post soon about people contributing the other necessary ingredients.

Here are a few other special requests:

Pia and Kern from the Mai-Kai were interested in attending our party, but I haven't called them yet to make sure they know about it. Maybe Tiki Kiliki can handle that for us....? If they can come it would be wonderful, if not, at least we asked.

Also, Wayne and Beki Coombs have been coming to our party for years. I'll call them, but it might be good if Bre-elle drops them a line as well.

If anyone can think of others we need to get a special word to, please do so. Not everyone stays current with TC.

Lastly, someone needs to give Julian's a heads up about Friday night and set a time for dinner. They don't take reservations but did hold a big table for us last year when we told them several weeks in advance that we were coming. Again, Bre-elle can you handle that for us?

One last item I want to share with you non-Floridians.... we have been getting a lot of bad press about our weather - what with hurricanes and the assorted inconveniences they create - but the weather has been f***ing fanatstic the last few weeks. High seventies most days and beautiful blue skies. No guarantees for the end of the month, but it sure would be nice if this climate sticks around.

More later.
Aloha,
KG

PS: Swankster - Sorry you can't make it this year. You'll be missed.
