As part of Hukilau 2012, I will be giving an updated version of my Mai-Kai history on the stage at the Mai-Kai itself! This will be a very special event, unlike perhaps any you have seen before. Tiki nerds, prick up your ears!

Besides a great deal of detailed info about the Mai-Kai's history and the people behind it, I will have lots of great never before seen images. Besides the great images, I will have never before seen moving images! Besides new video, I will have many of the very people whose stories I tell, on hand for you to meet and talk to! 55 years of Mai-Kai living history!

We all love the Mai-Kai. We all revel in the drinks and environs of this most incredible of all Tiki establishments. But, you probably have only scratched the surface of your understanding of why the Mai-Kai is so damned great! If I myself have been totally blown away by my research, I feel sure that you all will be greatly engrossed as well. You will look at the Mai-Kai in a way you have not thought. This place you adore will become even more dear. Yes, that IS possible!

If the Mai-Kai isn't #1 on your bucket list, it should be. If you are traveling across the country or even the world to be at Hukilau and this special place, you owe it to yourself to get the grand tour. The back story. The experience you will never forget. Those in that room with me on April 20th will recall that time with fondness for years to come...

More details to come of course.

I have urged the Mai-Kai to add one or more flights to the drink menu for Hukilau. A way for you to try 3 drinks for the price of one, and really sample their full menu without breaking the bank or getting way too lit. The Mai-Kai is the last place on the planet still serving Don the Beachcomber's recipes, much as they were served 60 years ago.

I hope you will join me there and make more great memories of that most fantastic place!
