Random thoughts about last night at the Mai Kai...

Fantastic time! Thanks to Chip & Andy, Tiki Kiliki and Mr. Jalapeno Cheese Head (!) for sharing a couple of rounds of the best drinks on planet earth with us! As usual, whenever we meet any TC ohana for the first time, we are struck by how warm and friendly everyone is and feel like instant friends. That's priceless folks.

BIG thanks to Chip and Kern for the behind-the-Tiki tour and a visit to ... ... "The Room". No, not the men's room, but the Fort Knox of booze, the Mother of All Rum Rooms. Amazing. I was in such awe, I didn't hear anything Kern said after that. Or maybe that was because of the two Jet Pilots I had.

Apparently, nobody has made the effort to name the shrunken head. I think he deserves a name.

Kern treated us like royalty and had us seated first right in front of the stage. Unfortunately, after 4 hours of drinking I didn't think my head could handle those drums so with apologies to Kern we bailed after dinner. At least we did catch the show a few months ago (and will again soon).

I love watching people get disoriented in the darkness of the bathroom. Okay, I'm strange like that, but at least I pointed them in the right direction.

The Hawaiian Orange-Papaya Duck. Mmmmmmmmm.....

Almost chucked the cell phone of the dolt sitting at the next table who was busy telling his cell phone buddy that "the decor of this place does nothing for me." Should have seated him in the back with the dolts in the Molokai who were drinking Buds.

Sad to leave, but Hukilau is only 4 months away!

Cheers...
