I want everyone to understand I have no idea exactly who is coming to the Hawaiian Inn. I do hope everyone and more who said they will come, does show up. But I'm basically clueless about it and in true beachbum fashion can only take responsibility for myself; and even then not do it very well. I know Marian and I will be there with a few of our tiki-worshipping friends and like someone once said, wherever two or more are gathered in Martin Denny's name there will be a tiki party. Also, please keep in mind the Hawaiian Inn hosts a luau and show four nights a week and all we need to do is arrive with a credit card. That said, let's all have a great time, but be sure we get invited back as well. To help out, here's a few tips and things you might want to factor into your thinking. Pablus is setting up a hospitality room with a little help from his friends. If you see smoke coming from under the doorway and hear yelling, that's probably the right room. The pool tiki bar -- with actual tikis on the bar -- usually opens about 10:30 am. The bartender is named Dave. Please be good to him. He looks like a pirate and could be dangerous. He also makes a nice Mai-Tai. Not Trader Vics, but the stuff doesn't set your teeth on edge either. 2)The bar in the showroom opens at 5:00 - 5:30 pm. That's where the full tropical drink menu is served. The main bartender is Frank. He may or may not be Dave's father, but he's meaner than Dave so don't ask him about it. Also, stay out of Frank's way when he's throwing booze bottles and juice containers around. You don't want any broken glass in your volcano bowl. Also, be sure to tell him how much you like the Hawaiian Inn mugs behind the bar and that they should make those again and sell them to guests. Say "Tiki Farm" a few times. Be polite to Tofi and Evalani. They're Wayne's daughters. Enough said about that. 4)Teauila is queen of the Hawaiian Inn and the guys with the fire knives and spears are her palace guard, so be servilely obedient and respectful in her presence. 5)If you are going to Julian's with Bre-elle and Tristan, but plan to enjoy the luau at the Hawaiian Inn -- you need to be back at the hotel no later than 7:00 when dinner is served. The show starts promptly at 8:00. Don't carve your initials into the Witco. Some of it is not in the best of shape. If you fool with the woodwork, you will not be in the best of shape either. On a sad note, I talked to Beki Coombs a few minutes ago. Unfortunately she and Wayne can't make it. They just got back from a five-day trade show, plus she's afraid Wayne might kill a couple TCers with his bare hands. (Not really, I just thought I would throw that in.) If this Florida Tiki Revival / Hawaiian Inn thing sounds a little rough and tumble, just remember this particular piece of polynesian paradise is located in the same beach town as bike week, Black college reunion and speed week. I'll leave it to everyone's imagination as to which of these activities presents the greatest risk to visitors. Aloha and book'em Danno, KG Aloha from the Sunshine State!
