To my good friend Al - Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Al!

You should be here more often.
Always a pleasure to read your posts.

Ha! Got in early on this one:
Happy birthday Al you big Tiki lover!

Just returned from the lovely Tabou Tiki Room where I met Virani and Sandrine...hic!

M

AL Rocks!!!!! I'll have another on the rocks, pal! :)

Happy Birthday Al!

It was nice to finally meet the man (and woman) behind all those very informative posts at the LBC TF.
Hope your B-day was swell!

He's a great listener and always has something interesting to say. What a guy.

Doh! I knew it was this week too and forgot to post earlier. Happy Birthday Al, and much love from Tikibelle and Myself.

Somebody make that man a Mai Tai already so he can get out from behind that bar! Happy Birthday, fellow Virgo!
Love, VG & AC

Happy Birthday to one half of a great couple!

Happy Birthday to The Captain!

Many Mai Tais to you Al... Health and Happiness all your life!

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...

Happy Birthday Captain Fantastic.
Glad I know ya. A good listener and a great storyteller too, it's true.

I know. Al, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Al. I will treat you to a Mai Tai, or two, or three, once we get to the Mai Kai in Florida. If there is a Florida to go to in a couple weeks. Say hello to Shelley for me too would ya. Hey, remember those 2 swingers that tried to pick me up in Hawaii!! I still laugh everytime I think about it. Cheers big guy!

Happy Birthday, Al!

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.

Happy Birthday Al!

Happy Birthday Al. Your charisma is only exceeded by your savoirfaire. In other words you are one righteous dude. Shaka Rippah! - SWJ

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

Happy B.Day from me and Q-tiki. You are the best.

Happy Birthday Al!

Have a great Birthday weekend!

Words cannot express the true character of this man and how great that character is. Al -- the best of everything to you on your birthday.

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.

Better late than never: Happy Birthday!

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.

Always a pleasure crossing your path Al. :music: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOO YOOOOOOOOU :music:

Happiest birthday wishes Al! :drink:

Happy Birthday Al!

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.
