You down? I owe you a bowl or two. I'll have a new camera with me and I'll get some shots of "them" getting shots. Looking forward to seeing you again, Kiliki. Wanna have breakfast together?

Of course I wanna have breakfast and I hope you don't mind that once again it will be at the Silver Skillet - where the biscuits and gravy are the tastiest! You should try to make it to Tiki Torch Nights at the Mai Kai next week!

T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Sun, Apr 17, 2005 9:16 AM I thought about that but made it early enough that I didn't think there would be a problem. I guess you're number one. I'll announce it on the site so that people can contact Vic's to do so. I'll reserve a seat in your name.
TV Traitor Vic Tiki Socialite Greenville, SC Joined: Jan 02, 2003 Posts: 441	TV Traitor Vic Posted posted on Sun, Apr 24, 2005 10:19 PM We made sure (I hope) to make our dinner reservations early enough to finish eating in time for the Slide Presentation. The girl that took our info was very excited about the event and jibbered and jabbered almost uncontrollably. I was quite impressed! They're obviously very excited about seeing all of us (and our money too, I guess?).

The employees actually get very excited about Tiki Torch Nights. It's old hat to the staff there now and they have fun with it. You'll see me helpin' out during the night as I've grown very close to them and they work hard for the money!! It will be nice to see you there!

Kiliki, Pablus and all- hope to see you there. I'll begin my therapy with a MaiTai and see where it leads.

P pablus Tiki Socialite www.thecrazedmugs.com Joined: Jul 23, 2003 Posts: 2163	P pablus Posted posted on Tue, Apr 26, 2005 11:58 AM Bar opens at 5pm. I made reservations for dinner at 6pm. This is looking to be a good weekend all the way around. A nice respite from the pain of the Kahiki Moon closing before I ever went there and the sorrow of missing another Oasis. Plus, I'm picking up a very valuable treasure in Augusta on the way back home. More on that later. Your Worship, King Kukulele, my heart is gladdened that you will not be subject to me driving you anywhere on Saturday - errrrr - Sunday AM. Your safety is of my upmost concern, Sire. (...until I have the 6th Mai Tai) Aloha!!!

I got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. No sweat there! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta and I hope we get a chance to play our ukes together. This will be my first time back in Atlanta since Hukilau 1 !! I love Atlanta and can't wait to see Trader Vic's, Tiki Torch Nights, and all the local BBQ joints. Ready or not Atlanta, Here I come!

They are my new favorite stop for smoked swine. Get the sauce on the side- it's fine but sort of redundant when the food's this good.

P pablus Tiki Socialite www.thecrazedmugs.com Joined: Jul 23, 2003 Posts: 2163	P pablus Posted posted on Thu, May 5, 2005 6:08 AM Snorting pepper... or was it salt. Mmmmmmmmm. Had to have some input since the bar was jammed and Joel wouldn't mix me a night cap. Slacker. :wink: I came back from the trek to the bar with a Navy Grog for Kava King and he and his lovely Queen had left during the wait. I'm still carrying it around hoping he'll show. No one really got too plowed because we couldn't get enough booze into us with the 4000 people squished into the bar area. What a successful event! Lots of fun except for the backup 30 miles south of ATL that put me 3 hours late. But I was glad to catch the last 15 minutes of JT's GIANT HEAD presentation. Cool stuff. Enjoyed the next day - a beautiful sunny day tooling around Buckhead with King Kukulele for several hours before heading north to the new Hapa Haole Hideaway.
KK Kava King Tiki Socialite Kensington-on-Avondale Joined: Sep 20, 2002 Posts: 217	KK Kava King Posted posted on Thu, May 5, 2005 9:20 AM Had a drink for me eh?...That's the LAST time I listen to the wahine when she says it's "time to leave". What a killjoy! I mean, just because Key (longtime friend and kitchen manager) and Joel were giving us the hairy eyeball and making rude "towards the door" gestures... Thanks for the effort anyway and I'm sorry we didn't get to say our final Alohas to you and other friends, but we did have a very, very good time (and thanks to the stalwart photogs for the pix). One thing is certain: NEXT TIME, I'M BRINGING A FLASK. Cheers!

I wonder if TV's made any money that night? :>) Great for the bar to make the dough, but tough on the customers when you're trying to get to the bar to get drink!

It was quite lovely! As was the entire event! And, of course, as were all the people there! Thanks, Kiliki!
