Is it weird to have my eyes tear up while I watched that video?

I do know I met a lot of great friends in the tiki community that I still know to this day!
Had some fun times drinking afterhours with Skip, Jim and the locals till about 3:30 every morning that last week.
Watching a 20 something local gal make plans to go home with her (now 50 plus something ) ex-high school coach-I thought that was a little creepy.
Having my modest motel room become a suite (it slept 6!) with Martin McIntyre (sp?) and others crashing in my room.
And meeting some celebrities like Sven, Joe Bob Briggs and an artist who goes by the name of Shag.

I have more memories-but I wanted to share a few.

Long live the Kahiki (in our hearts) , thank you Otto for having the closing night party and as I leave you with a picture of JT from the slide show I say (as I have often said before), Patronize your Favorite Business!! No matter how established YOU THINK it is , you may be sadly surprised when you show up there in the future and find it is GONE!!
I wish I could fly to the Mai Kai right now!
