It is monday morning, and I am still fishing mai tai cups and champagne corks from the pool skimmer!

Thank you to all who helped make the premier of the Spectacular East Indies Room a memorable evening!

Congratulations to the contest participants & winners! Alnshely won the trivia contest, taking home an autographed Martin Denny album; Iuka Grogg took top honors with his inspirational Mai-Taiku, earning him a nice Coco Joes wall plaque (BOT, p. 187, lower right). The outrageous cocktail garnish event really showed off some bizarre creativity: MTKahuna with the cool beach hut party swizzle; Laney and her shrunken head garnish, complete with shrunken fruit, eyeballs, floating dead babies, and bubbling fog (someone hire Laney to decorate for a baby shower!); and Atomic Cocktail, who had Vintage Girl daintily perched on the edge of a Tiki mug (literally!). They all earned Tiki drink vessels, and bottles of TV rum!

Mrs. Sugarcaddydaddy brought an amazing cake to commemorate the event, featuring the SEIR logo! Thanks much! And thanks to all for the bar warming goodies.... the rum reserves are now well fortified....

The hit drink of the evening was the Typhoon... which, unfortunately, has not yet made it into the ranks of the Grog Log or Intoxica!.... but look for it.... different and tasty!

There were lots of flash bulbs popping, hopefully we'll get to see some pics soon!

Mahalo!
