Thankyou Everybody for coming out to Sam's and surprising me on my birthday. I was completely clueless and dumbfounded to see so many of my Tiki Central friends firmly ensconced with drinks in hands as Tikibelle and I arrived at nine. And then more and more of you kept arriving. And to think that a year ago I didn't know any of you, (except for Doctor Z and Z-Girl)

Which brings me to saying thanks to Doctor Z and Z-Girl and my darling Tikibelle for arranging this great surprise party for me at one of my favorite tiki bars. Thanks to Crazy Al for dj-ing and playing all the great surf music. Thanks to Trader Pup for bringing his postcards along, and thanks to everybody for the nice gifts! (I'll try not to drink them all this week).

Sorry I couldn't stay for breakfast at the Harbor House, but your plans for my best birthday present of all, (getting my girlfriend drunk), backfired somewhat and I needed to get my overly-sedated Tikibelle home and tucked into bed. But thanks again for making this one of the best birthdays ever. I had an absolutely fantastic time.

P.S. - And I can't believe that Crazy Al never mentioned that Turc's across the street was an old-school tiki bar in its own right. He's known for years, and I would have never guessed it from the outside.
