At 1:15, we had the first folks in line and by opening, the line stretched to the end of the block! The turnout was tremendous, even exceeding our expectations. Above all, the party was a BLAST! Otto was inducted into FI's Kill Devil Hall-of-fame for the second time and earned himself a parking space! Throughout the night, he provided the perfect soundtrack for our celebration. The Forbidden Island staff cranked out cocktails by the dozen all night long. Wendy Cevola sold out of her terrific FI 5th Anniversary mugs within hours, plus we debuted the official 5th Anniversary bowl from Tiki Farm, which will be available 'till stock runs out. Mean Gene designed an anniversary glass for us, that we gave away with each Classic Mai Tai and Navy Grog. To my surprise, we blew through all 12 dozen in no time... And I thought I over ordered! LOL! Also, a huge shout out to our friend, the very talented MP, who painted an exquisite 5th anniversary velvet painting, during the event, which was then raffled off. Again, thanks for making our special day so memorable! Here's to many more years! Long Live Forbidden Island!
