Amen, brother. On our last visit to the Tonga Room, I don't remember getting back to our hotel in Chinatown, nor do I remember stopping off for a fifth of Myers on the way. It was a great experience, even if the band was one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life. They were still playing on a raft, and we were still drinking out of pineapples. We cool-ly walked uphill to the Fairmont, and likely tumbled all the way back downhill to our hotel. I woke up still wearing my shoes. There's magic in that place... just glad to see someone capture it on a show people are watching so that hopefully we can keep it around long enough so we can get out there again soon! --Pete
