Awesome, Hanford.
You must have been eavesdropping on Basement Kahuna's and my conversation last night.

One thing as a sort-of funny aside;
Last night I was talking for about an hour with Kern Mattei and he told me that Jimmy Buffett and his band were in the Mai Kai not too long ago and loved the place.

A few weeks later, Kern began to get calls from all over the US telling him that Buffett was describing the Mai Kai and calling it the "greatest tii bar in the world" to all of the throngs.

So while Jim's music and the Florida-ish-ness-ocity of his millions of fans may not be TC's particular cup of tea - it's certainly clear that Sir Buffett knows where the best tiki bar in the world is and probably gets it with the Polynesian/Exotica bent of the place.

He needs to call Waitiki and King Kukulele for his next album and maybe I'd even actually buy one.

I know this is not the point of your "about" page but I thought it might be interesting for some to read about.

Mai Kai is good.
That is all.
