T Tiki_Bong Member Huntington Beach, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: -16	T Tiki_Bong Posted posted on Fri, Sep 10, 2004 8:29 PM I just love this picture of Al and Denny. When you look at it, and you know, it just says everything. Al was the first person I hooked up with after joining TC and setting up a OC Tiki Crawl. He and Shelly are simply fantastically sweet and honest people. Al and I have had a number of memorable "we'll always have Paris" type times. I remember 7:00am on Kalakaua Ave with a cup of saki toasting a new day, or rowing on an outrigger in front of the Royal Hawaiian, or him mixing me my 11th drink from the Grog Log at 2:00 am at the Lagoon Room, or watching him mixing drinks in room 135 way past midnight. For those TC'rs that have not yet met the fine gentleman, make it a point to do so, for those that have, you know...

Hey, remember those 2 swingers that tried to pick me up in Hawaii!! I still laugh everytime I think about it. Cheers big guy! Jeff

H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Fri, Sep 10, 2004 9:47 PM I adore Al. I absolutely adore Al. What's even more important to understand, those of you who have not met Al, is that I guarantee that should you someday meet him (and by all rights, as a resident of Earth at the time you are in, you should) you will adore him, too. He is our Aesop. He has a story for you, probably a few, and he will tell them all to you with a youthful and joyful exuberance. He will redefine for you the phrase "a twinkle in his eye." We are united here in our craving of a dimly lit world, yet this man is the one bright shining light you would eagerly welcome into any tiki bar. Happy birthday, Al.

A Alnshely Member Oceanside CA Joined: Mar 24, 2002 Posts: 974	A Alnshely Posted posted on Sat, Sep 11, 2004 2:27 AM What a remarkable thing this message board is. It's our little island on the World Wide Web, our secret paradise that's just a mouse click away. TC is much more than Mai-Tais and Hula Girls. Where else can you have a guy like Woody, taking time to bid me greeting from half a world away?. And Sven, returning from a night of drinking at a Tiki Bar in Germany, weighs in with best wishes from the continent. From LA, to San Francisco, to the shores of the Great Lakes, to Florida and the deep south, you folks have paused to wish me well and remember me on my birthday.I am deeply touched and I thank you all. As Bong has stated,TC is about all these great stories. Like the time Shelley and I met up with Jeff central, Gecko and Fil Slash in Honolulu for the last Martin Denny concert. Then there was the time we had the first party in Room 135, at the Tropics. Or when we went to Key West with Bamboo Ben, King Kukelele, Crazy Al and Inky Louise. People on this board have gotten Married, had children, started religions, published books, carved Tikis and so very much more. There has also been choppy waters along our voyage. There has been Breakups, Divorce, feuds, harsh words and hangovers. A few people have left in a huff, and some of us have been placed on double secret probation. But, we still sail along, united with our love of Tiki. I am richer for knowing you all. I am thankful our paths have crossed. You all have made my Desert Island a Lush Paradise and I thank you. Mahalo, Al

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Sat, Sep 11, 2004 12:42 PM Al is definitely one of those people who I was immediately impressed with upon meeting, for the level of hospitality that he immediately showed to me. I've met him a few times since then, and that feeling has not diminished. If the song 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' did not exist, King Kukulele would have to then write it from scratch (in tiki style of course) so there would then be an appropriate song in this world to describe Al's character.

Another thing to love about Al: He's a great drunk. You know what I mean: Even when he's staggering piss drunk, he's a helluva nice guy. That's the measure of a man. Another thing: the other day I got something in the mail from him, and it had a return address sticker on it that said "Alan". I thought: who the fuck is Alan? If ever there was an AL, it's Al.

K kick_the_reverb Tiki Socialite Escondido, CA Joined: Jul 17, 2002 Posts: 581	K kick_the_reverb Posted posted on Sun, Sep 12, 2004 10:39 AM Sorry for being late, but from half-way across the world...HAPPY BIRTHDAY AL! One of the most friendly, gracious and kind people I have ever met. When I finally got to meet him, I was blown away by how nice he was in real life. When you talk with him, he always makes you feel like you're the most important person to him at that moment. He makes great drinks, and not only that, he takes the burden of serving them for hours and hours, telling funny and fascinating stories to go with the drinks. Al - may you always find happiness in what you do, and I'm hoping to celebrate many more birthdays with you. Ran
