I don't know our schedule yet- but maybe SF vics for food and drink Friday night, and Forbidden Island on Saturday. Or vise versa. Or FI both nights. or. or ? ZAZZ!


UPDATE__ Saturday 4/28 is a good possibility for SF. I know we will be joining CB Howlie and Futura Girl tonight(Friday 4/27) at the Forbidden Island around 10pm!!!

Smiley?

Hmmm, smi-lee? Sort of sounds familiar, just cannot quite place the name. I do recall this one fellow, ruggedly handsome in a lederhosen-wearing sense.

Nah, couldn't be him. Maybe? Nah.

Still, I'm up for dinner at SF Vic's. Could be fun, I'm always keen to making new friends. Drinks at Forbidden Island? I've wanted to try that place, I understand they make a mean Missionary's Downfall.

Zazz? Yahtzee!

If we are eating at SF Vics, I figure Saturday (8pm or so) would be best. By the time we hit SF on Friday night (10:15pm or later), the kitchen will probably be closed. So, drinks at FI late Friday, and probably after dinner on Saturday is what Inky and I should do-how duzz that sound-zazz or razz!?!?!

J

That sounds very Zazz! Friday at Vic's wouldn't have worked for me, but Saturday does! Yay!!

We will take whatever we can get of Both of you! I will prolly miss you on Friday, but Saturday's a GoGoGo!

BOO-Bam! Hope we can see you too! What a treat!

I can't wait to see the whole gang, and get some tiki fun. Vegas is sooooooooo boring! HA!

Dang Nabbit!

My Thursday meeting up North in Napa is in the afternoon and my plane leaves Oaktown @ 8:30 pm.

Looks like Russell and I will have to have Flight School
part 2, another time!!!

Y'all have fun without me now!!!

Although.......I'll be baaaaack! Probably for most of February.

You can run but you can't hide!!!

p.s. I'll be rockin' out in traffic the the "Bone!" 105?

M

107.7 is Da Bone! How could you forget?

T

Razz for Vic's on Saturday, as I'll be in Anaheim for Deke Dickerson's Guitar Geek Festival. And Friday I'll be at a show at 12 Galaxies so I doubt I'll make it to F.I. before closing (but I'll try my darndest).

The band I really want to see plays dead last and there are 4 bands. And with bay bridge construction it could be very late when I return to the island.

i will make a reservation for dinner for Saturday at 8pm. i can see about 8 seats including us so far in this thread. please roll call if you will be there and i will get a bigger table.

we can't wait for a fun weekend!!

J

I'll be there!

MT

Coco Loco and I won't be square, 'cause we're gonna be there!!!

So, when are folks getting to FI ?

Looking forward to seeing you Vegas types.

We are landing at 9, so by the time we get a car and drive to the Isle it will be about 10pm. I am thirsty!

I'm Thirsty!!!

Cough, hack, cough, hurling hack....ughh. Strangely, I fell down with a sudden, and quite serious, case of "I'drathernotitis" (a despicable affliction). Thusly, I was able, with doctor's orders, to weasel my way out of previously made Saturday plans and mosey my solo self down to SF Vic's tonight to take in the waters with my favorite Vegas..., uh, Vegasians, Vegasites, Vegamatics?

Dinner at eight was way too late for this senior early-bird special connoisseur, but a few Trader Vic Stinkers? Grandpa always a has room for a stinker...wait, that doesn't sound right. Whatever, it's Vic's, Smiley's in town and Lars is, what, in front of the bar?

First off, the ceremonial showing of the rocks. Russel's was bigger, Inky's a bit more precious, gem speaking. Me and marriage go together like Elvis and a salad (never the twain shall meet), but it was a moving experience nonetheless.

Drink, dink....drink. Who's that in civi's? Lars is at Vic's, but NOT working? Whew, while he wasn't mixing drinks, he could still personally direct the making of the "Stinker a la Lars". I love that drink. Is it ok to love a drink? My sponsor is currently unavailable, so I'm going to say, "definitely".

Inky, mrsmiley, Jen, Mai Tai and Coco Loco. Why yes, that is former San Francisco mayor and gadfly Willie Brown at the corner table. Mai Tai shouted out "Hizzoner!", made a mad dash for a Mayoral hug from Slick Willie, and was summarily taken to ground by security and taught a lesson in political hardball. How a Bill becomes a Law? More like how Bill becomes a Law...suit. Ok, everything after "Hey, Mayor Brown" is made up, but it makes for good copy. Side note: Willie drinks red wine, his date: Bahia.

Good to see everybody, and with such momentous news in the offing. Love was in the air, monkey love? Don't worry, he's got protection. The $25 menu is still a going concern at SF Vic's, get down there and give it a try. Or, in the alternative...several Stinkers.

Doctor doctor give me the news,
patient midnite

What fun!

We all had a great time, even though i was so sick all weekend, I look as green as Bongo Bongo Soup in those photos!

Thanks to all that came out both nights and most especially to our terrific hosts, MaiTai and CocoLoco. xxoo

AAAWWwwwwwwwwwwwww, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrl....
