Saturday evening Frenchy, Maggie and I were pleased to host Greyhound (on her way to Vegas! Hope she had a great time!) and her pal here in Portland - they visited Alibi and hung out at our Castaway Cove and a good time was had by all.

This brings me to a point (so few things actually do, so enjoy this while you can) that I've been meaning to make on the list: If you're going to visit a town, do check to see if there are any Tiki Centralites living there. If you live somewhere that's on the itinerary of a list member, do invite them for drinks at your favorite local watering hole. Don't be bashful about this - it should be considered a standard point of TC ettiquette to alert folks when you're in a new town and invite out of towners out on the town. I've been fortunate enough to have met some mighty fine folks from this list, many of whom were just passing through Portland when I managed to tackle 'em from behind and pour a mai-tai down their throats. The Kailuageoffs, Greyhound, Sven, Woofmutt and others are now friends with faces to me, rather than just glyphs on my screen. Hell, if it hadn't been for TC I wouldn't have met Mig, and then I wouldn't have met Cathey (who lives just a conch-bellow away from me) and then I wouldn't have a Czarina of Propaganda!

Do these things and you will be rewarded with a wealth of friends and well-earned hangovers. So let it be written - so let it be done
