First, this is a drunken post.

Second, I was drinking like I was in an Irish Pub

First, Since I was drinking at home I cant really punch someone in the nose

So, I think I was trying to count.......

I have noticed something through the bottom of my cocktail glass and that is a kind of East Coast vs West Coast vibe with the people here. Not as drastic, yet, as the E-v-W Rapper battle, but enough that I fear drive-by Mai Tais. The upgrades recently served as a kind of beacon to that fact. And some bacon sounds really good right now. I'll be right back...

The new divisions for events is 'California' and then 'everyone else.' While I realize that there are far more Tiki people in California, that doesn't lessen the number of Tiki people elsewhere. Here in South Florida we have the second largest community of Pacific Islanders outside of the Pacific Islands, but we don't get much mention. 'Even Thursdays' and 'Mondays at Tiki Ti' get more eyes here than our local Polynesian Fest. "You" guys may have the Tiki Ti, but "We" have the Mai-Kai. "You" guys may have Trader Vics SF/Emeryville/Palo Alto, but "We" have an ocean you can get into with protective gear.

I could go on, but my current level of alchol prevents it. Maybe I am just drunk (I am), but I have talked with others and they agree that I am drunk. I think they were trying to agree with my observation of the different coasts, but I forgot what the question was.

Talk amongst yourselves. East VS West. Bilge VS Delete the thread. Banishment to the Dry Counties of Florida.........
