Thanks for the offer, Flange, but I think we have a grip on it. The set-up is pretty minimal. Feel free to stop by ealier than the 'official' start time of 7:00... Vic's is open for Happy Hour at 5:00.

Wow, I know which night I will be there! Will be good to see the guy that screwed me for $50. OH, and I will make sure to bring friends too! They might like to meet Dave Krys also.

Hi Kelley

With all respect, please:
In the future, I'd be obliged if you vented your tensions with other people elsewhere. We are trying to keep this event, like all Tiki events, as positive, upbeat gatherings for the 'ohana.
I'm sorry that you had a problem with Dave, but you have his email address and phone number, so please take it up with him off of the forum (or at the very least, off of this thread), and particularly not at Trader Vic's.
Thanks, bro.
And... since he isn't showing his product tonight, jump in the car and come on down. We'd love to have you at the event.
