Martiki, I'm so glad we got to see you there that recent couple of (very peaceful and happy) evenings!!!

You know, Forbidden Island is but the first of your tiki masterpieces (well, second...ahem...Novato Grotto, huzzah!) I know it'll always have a unique place in your heart, but I believe the road ahead looks brighter than ever. As others have said--mahalo for all the incredible work and heart and creative genius you put into FI; you are an amazing artist and the place reflected that in every aspect. You truly were, and are, the host with the most!!!

I can't wait to see what you do next. And no matter where it is, if Martin's tending bar, then as often as I can manage it (or my liver will permit) I'll be there. I know I haven't seen that much of you in the last couple of years, but believe it or not, I still consider you one of the coolest people I've ever known, and I'll always want to support whatever you do. Blessings and good fortune to you, Martiki! hoists an honorary Painkiller even though it's way before five p.m. :)
