The clue is in the subject line, amigo! I suppose this might qualify as a grand opening, since we never had one officially, but I think I've past the sell-by date on that idea. Nope, just a good old-fashioned tiki party. Like mom used to make. The place looks just about the same, I'm afraid. I did have to lose my FGCUTTR plate on the ceiling because some ignorant bastards at the SFPD decided it would look better on the front of my car. (#%&(# Fix-It Ticket!!) |

OK- thanks again for all the positive replies! Looking forward to seeing everyone at ye olde grotto on the 19th! Party will get underway around 7pm. We'd like everyone to bring a pu pu to share- anything you can think of will be fine- savory, sweet, whatever. We can always reheat in our oven, and we have a deep fryer if you'd like to use that- I'll even put in fresh oil for ya! We'll provide all the drink fixins. Feel free to bring a uke along. Drinks! Delights! Thrills! Chills! And maybe the Rombiero Xmas house if we're lucky! For address and directions, and any other questions, please send me a PM. |

Hey hey! Let's keep this a family thread. In that spirit, here's a pic of the aforementioned brave subject who miraculously withstood the onslaught of Painkillers during that fateful display of Martiki's expert mixalogical skillz (he's the one in the middle): |

hmmmmmm, that's pretty funny, I didn't even think of that :wink: Actually, we found out 2 days after the infamous 2004 Novato Grotto/Romberio House outing that we were expecting. What I thought was a rare 2 day hangover, was in fact baby pineapple! So Dirty Santa is off the hook, despite baby pineapple's reddish hair (from mom, really!) and his smiley face (from dad)! |

Okay, back to the party! I propose we do away with the pot-luck concept and simply come prepared with an angry, long-winded rant of why certain ground-breaking 20th century bands or musicians totally suck. The angrier and more pointless the better! Don't worry, there will be plenty of time afterwards to congratulate ourselves for our deep insight and unerring good taste. Then, if we have time, we can discuss cats & dogs, Macs & PCs, and cheese colors. Woo-hoo - it'll be fun! |

Well, I'd really like to attend. However, the DOC and CA Atty General strongly suggest I stay within 50 yards of my primary residence except for medical appointments, work-related activities, and other essential travel. Stupid monitoring technology. Someone say something alarmingly innappropriate for me. midnite...being kept down by the man |
