In the grand tradition of Tiki-Ti, every Wednesday night will find Forbidden Island peppered with tikiphiles. There's no set time (Forbidden Island opens at 5pm and closes at midnight on Wednesdays), just pop in when you can, and stay as late as you're able. If you'll be able to make it, chime in here on this thread to let others know -- but even if no one's chimed in, go ahead & head over, you never know who might be hanging out, and even if it's just you and the bartender, you're sure to have a grand time. We'll be there this coming Wednesday! |

Come one, come all, to Wednesdays at FI! Help make this innagural Wednesday one to remember- there's a surprise in store, so be there by 7pm and wear your finest aloha- you'll want to look your best! Don't forget your VIP cards, or pick one up if you don't have one yet Mahalo, and see everyone on Wednesday! |

Last night I was driving and left early and headed over to Eli's to dance to 60s soul music, but I managed to squeeze in a couple more (the Painkiller was better then the Tiki-Ti's!). Sorry Humuhumu, tastes don't count! I probably tasted 30 people's drinks - no wonder my throat is sore! :wink: Update to drink tally: [ Edited by: thejab 2006-04-28 10:35 ] |

Big mix: locals, neighbors, old Lincoln's regulars, off-duty cops, rockabilly types. Good variety. There's been talk of both motorcycle & scooter clubs showing up on sundays- Mods vs. Rockers! |

Every night it's filled with incredibly hot women! I knew that's what you wanted to hear! But seriously, earlier in the evening it's an older crowd, with lots of local folks from the neighborhood dressed casually. They seem to feel comfortable enough to hang out in this bar more than any bar I've been to on the island. Later the crowd is younger. There are a lot of the local bar crowd I know from the Lost Weekend bar, many decked out in vintage aloha wear. A lot of people get very dressed up to go there. Last night there was a group of 6 or so women totally decked out in vintage attire, flowers in their hair, etc. Mrsmiley knew one from high school so we were chatting with her. It seems they have a regular gathering when they get decked out in their finest vintage wear and visit a bar or do something else. We were telling her about TC - that we have regular "meetings" which are very serious affairs of reading minutes (menus) and bringing up important topics (like what drink we are having next)! But there are also a lot of folks in their early 20s going there, but nobody has gotten rowdy or annoying when I have been there. |

There's been talk of both motorcycle & scooter clubs showing up on sundays- Mods vs. Rockers! Hmm, I can wear my old Merton parka and my RAF leather flight boots and smack everybody! It's been 16 months since my last bar brawl...Hi, my name is midnite and I have anger issues....I am so there. Just kidding, I broke up that fight at the Plimsouls show. Unless there's a real belligerent senior citizen crowd at FI, I should be ok. I don't take shit from old folks. It looks like I am "go" for visit to Forbidden Island, this weekend. I know I know, but there were issues...visas, interpol, immunizations, my name on a no-fly list...forces aligned which prevented me from traveling to Alameda. I have to imbibe in, let's see, eleven seperate drinks. Saturday then, eh? Behind the curve, but still ahead on points, |

They do to me! My primary goal is to see what each drink on the menu tastes like, so I can help noobs connect with a drink they'll really like. Finishing a complete drink of everything on the menu is a distant second goal. Hopefully, I've got many, many years to get there -- no reason to rush. |

On Wednesday night some of you asked about the custom embroidery I did for the bartenders' shirts at Forbidden Island. Here's a link to an old thread about my sewing: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=9898&forum=7&hilite=sew |

*I have to imbibe in, let's see, eleven seperate drinks. Saturday then, eh? I have journeyed to the island, the mysterious and taboo Isle de Alameda. A full recap and candid snaps to follow, but here's my effort on the cocktail menu. With the help of a long straw, several diversionary tactics, "Hey, is that Tom Jones!?!", and sitting in front of the talented mixologist, Sonya, I was able to kick-the tires on the following: Headhunter Some real fine cocktails, with a few stand-outs such as the Forbidden Island, Hawaii Kai Treasure, and of course the Sidewinder's Fang. Alameda is far, but worth it... |

If we're listing (and after this list, I'm definitely listing) Forbidden Island Fugu for 2 (or as Mai Tai puts it "Fugu for 1..make it a double!") Lots and lots of water and a coke. Humuhumu made sure to point out that the coke is excellent. This is important to some. I'll be there tonite to add a couple and to witness the Jab beat the menu. A mighty endeavor! |

Ok. I spent the whole Tiki Oasis weekend comparing the drinks at the Hanalei and the Bali Hai to Forbidden Island. We just kept looking at each other with that telling glance that says "we are sooo spoiled". Not to say that there weren't a couple good drinks on the room crawl, but I'm ready to get back on the barstool. My long way of saying... I'm thirsty. |
