Jab, First let me say I agree with you whole heartedly. All I was trying to get across was the fact that the majority of us sans the newer members, know the issues and assume or hope they will be resolved in the new incarnation that is Don's, but we know it will take time. My complaint is that every thread about the place or its events tends to end up in a "this was wrong" "that was bad" "i cant believe this happened" "what are they thinking" more than a "hey the place is great glad its still here for us to enjoy I hope the issues get resolved". I do understand people have had bad experiences here, myself included, my point is continually posting whats wrong with Sams/Kona/Dons gets old to me, some folks feed off this drama I for one do not. While our opinions are just as important as anyone Else's we all need to realize unless I am missing something we "Tiki Folk" are not their main source of income, so while our attendance to their events, while I assume are lucrative to their business, their not depending on us alone to make the business a success. Worst case scenario as we know Art, Chuck, and Ryan are all on TC, whos to say they dont think hey every time we have these tiki folk in all they do is slam our mistakes over and over in an open public forum, maybe we dont need to have them back. Many are sure more than ready to fire off an they should do that, they should do this post. So I say everyone who know what will make Don's a success should pool their monies and buy the rights and the restaurant from Art and Chuck and see how they like the public airing of all their issues when its not as easy when your actually running the place rather than just a patron saying you should do this. I just hope we enjoy what we have for as long as we have it so as not to regret it later. PS, Hope to see you at FI when we up there next, first drink is on me.
