OK, gang: the countdown is on! This Saturday, all of your dreams will come true as you're transported to an island paradise where scantily clad waiters/waitresses pour exotic tropical drinks down your throats. Marvel at the 30 foot tikis bellowing smoke and fire as a working volcano sends molten lava hundreds of feet in the air. The warm breezes of the Pacific will wash over you as special musical guest Martin Denny, flown in from Hawaii, entertains you with his band and their exotic birdcalls, broadcast in quadraphonic sound.

Or...it will just be me and the wife in or tiny little apartment in the Richmond District pouring drinks from our modest tiki bar. And nobody wants to see me scantily-clad. The breezes off the Pacific will likely be damp and bone-chilling, BUT Martin Denny will be...on the CD player. :)

We're really looking forward to everyone coming! For those of you who haven't replied yet, I hope you can make it. We're going to have a great time with good people and good drinks, and I think the little auction thing will be fun. If anyone has anything they'd like to auction off to fellow centralites, please bring it by- you can set the opening price, or even a reserve if you really want, and there is NO COMMISSION from your hosts.

As for food, we're suggesting that folks go out for dinner first, as we plan to serve only snacks and munchies. We'll be making rum balls, and probably putting out chips/nuts, so if anyone would like to bring anything else, that's great (Randy/Naomi: Those salmon stuffed tomatoes sure looked good. hint. hint. :)) Otherwise, we always appreciate that stuff...made from sugar cane...in the carribean...about 80 proof...oh, what's it called? :) Or anything else.

Our neighborhood has loads of great restaurants, so why not come to our neck of the woods early and enjoy dinner out?

Clement street between Arguello and Park Presidio is full of great Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, and is an easy walk. We also like:

Thai Time on 8th Ave near Clement
Bella Italian (not Bella Pizza) at 3rd or 4th and Geary.
Nagano Sushi at Geary and Arguello
Brother's Korean Barbeque at 6th and Geary

A little futher out, (across from Trad'r Sam's in fact) are Khan Toke Thai house, which is incredibly decorated inside like a Thai Palace (so dark...it's almost Tiki) and Tommy's Mexican next door is pretty good as well, with great margaritas, but you'll get plenty of fresh lime juice at our place. Ask me for others if there's something else you're looking for.

Any other questions? Let me know....
