I wasn't sure when I bought the group of tickets back in early November if I would find takers for them, so many thanks go to the fellow appreciators of tiki in the DC / Baltimore area for coming through. A few more of my non-tiki central friends were exposed to the pleasures of the Honolulu Restaurant, the snow and wind stayed away for the day, and we all somehow managed to finish our meals and drinks and make it to the theatre in time for the opening three 'Bali Hai' notes in the overture. The only sad side to the evening was the lack of time for the banana deserts at the Honolulu, and the missing faces of those who were unable to attend. Thanks especially to Jared and Kate for hosting the after-theatre gathering. Its not everyday that one gets to drink mai-tais, see 'South Pacific,' drink and talk tiki afterwards - and then walk to the car with an original tiki painting under my arms! and to think the year has only started - visions of Vera's, Hukilau, and many other destinations of tiki are hula dancing through my head.
