WOAH!!!
OMIGOSH!!!!
I'M COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS- The Rum Painting is AMAZING!!!!
What a beautiful tribute to such a beloved bar- I'm so honored.

Thank you so much to THOR and Kari (you two are such grand forces of tiki ohana) as well as to all of you Tiki Centralites for all your amazing enthusiasm and for so kindly taking part in such a generous gesture!

I'm floored beyond explanation. Deeply touched. Happy sigh.. .gosh, I love you guys...

I certainly kept my fins crossed regarding the opportunity to attend Oasis with you all for the first time in 2009.
Alas, economic choppy seas have it very difficult to come out this year for Oasis. Some great money was raised, but not quite enough... rest assured, the clams collected will placed in my underwater treasure box so that I may swim up to Oasis next year when life's seas become calmer.

In the meantime, I can hardly wait to see who gets to take my "Rummy Doppelganger" home with them!

Again, my most heartfelt thanks to all of you absolutely priceless Tikiphile Nutters.

I WILL "SEA" YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

Ah~ mahalo, Mahalo,MAHALO!!

Your Mai Tai Wahine O Ke Kai
