Glad you guys like it. I will take some shots of the individual pieces - its kinda stacked against the walls of my apt at the moment.
'Hewey' - doesn't actually 'pack up' - it just simply breaks down into 5 easily manageable sections, but can't actually 'sling it over my shoulder'
'TikiLaLe' - yes more than 300 and less than 350. I premixed the orgeat, Orange Curacoa, and lime juice (I actually used a self made lime mix rather than fresh squeezed lime juice/ I know thats a hack) As a result I was reaching for only three bottles - I did shake each drink however and squeeze a lime and most of the time added a pre-opened umbrella and gave a free flower lei. The party ran from 1:30pm to 10:30 pm - My 'bar' had a line 12 deep at times and I often made 3 drinks at a time. I literally was non stop and didn't even take a sip of water unti about 6:30 pm. People the next day kept telling me "they felt bad for me".
As far as the cash - Drink coupons were presold at a table where the attendees were ID'd, braceleted and given a souvenir event cup! Made it much easier (But kind of messes with the tipping potential) :( Believe me it was very hard work.
A pic early in the day before the crowds came, with a line for Mai Tais

and some of my satisfied customers (don't worry the drinks weren't orange - the souvenir cups were mood cups they changed from frosted clear to various colors with the cold liquid in them)

A lot of empty cups keep shakin Jon!
