Now that was a fun evening...thanks to TNTiki and enjoy the sign! (TNT, aside from being a great guy; the kind of guy that would even pay your cab fare to a sleazy strip joint [if in fact one ever decided to visit such a place of ill repute]is probably the only one besides Pablus and Kavaking that I know to own more than one Basement Kahuna carving!). Hanging with Kavaking and Michelle, TNTiki, Crazy Al and the Ape Boys(whose true essence is captured below..), Otto, the deeelissshuuus Dames Aflame (as mellow and cool a chickie clickie off duty as they are when teasing the masses), Mike, Martha, Joel, Kiliki, and the talented folk that run Trader Vic's Atlanta... Did I wake up and find myself in a 1970's Lowenbrau commercial or what??

Looks like a great time, I only wonder why Otto showed up in his pajamas and sleeping cap!

Thanks for sharing the photos Dave. Frank from APE wasn't too sure about my recommendation on The Clermont Lounge, but from the photo, it looks like they weren't too miserable! We had a great time -as usual- and I listened to the "Rich Little River Band" CD all the way home- you're right, it really rocks.

Basement is the Kahuna!!! I call him 24hrs before the gig..."uh'.... do you think you could come up with a log for tomorrow night???...[silence]"

And the next morning he has scored a tree trimmer bringing down a 'Red Oak'... picked a beauty log... stripped it and brought it an hour and a half to Atlanta Trader Vic's!!!!!!

I am so glad you got to the Clairmont. I meant to call and make sure you did, but it got late and I doubted you'd be able to hear me. Your trip was complete!

Basement Kahuna, I just got home with the sign. Many thanks to you for letting it go. I am honored.

I had a great time hanging with you guys and girl. I will not soon forget the Clairmont. What a place! I can now check it off of my list.

To Al, Otto, the rest of the Ape band and TikiMartha, thanks for letting me tag along. It was great seeing everyone.

Just look out - the 30th Anniversary of Trader Vic's Atlanta will be celebrated in 2006!!
