Great Night !!!
First I want to say Congratulations to Tobunga for championing this art show,despite it's on again/off again status over the past month or so.
I'd say it was a smashing success, amazing turnout, and the art, as usual, was amazing.

Another thing that really made me happy was the fact that the place was jumpin'....
The Bar, dining room, art show area, and even the KONA banquet room in the back were filled up, with patrons...eating drinking, escaping....Tiki People AND non tiki people.
People dressed in Aloha shirts that were obviously not TC Ohana, but still there for the Aloha.

Maybe the "mana of Don" has already started to permeate the place, or it was just a busy night for the restaurant, OR I was just feeling the effects of the Mai Tais (very possible!), but there was a good vibe there..I felt it. It felt great !

Eric, thanx for choosing to pay tribute to the Icon that is Sam's, and helping with the fight to keep this place alive. KUDOS my friend!

I know the efforts of everyone here on TC is acknowledged, and it's nice to know that we have a place where we can have out Tiki Geek-a-thons, and it's actually appreciated by the proprietors.

Tikiyaki : Happy ! :)

PS : Regarding the SAMS Neon sign. I will email Chuck and see what the skinny is on this. I doubt that the wait staff is right on this. I'm guessing that they will hang up the letters somewhere in the place. Chuck is really keen on the history of the place, and I seriously doubt he would pawn something like that off on ebay.
