For Seattle-area locals who cannot get enough of the Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge and the mysterious Pond Of Voodoo during the Seattle Tiki Home Tour, please note that Pete's Annual August Party will be taking place the following Saturday, 8/12/2006, as usual. I'd very much like to see other tiki fans who might not be able to make the crawl weekend. As usual, the host accepts no responsibility for the actions of guests under the influence of Voodoo Punch.

I will be there, but I warn yuh: I'm comin' with an agenda: To take out my revenge on the Voodoo Punch fer killin' so many of my brain cells last year.

Fer those interested I'd guess the Voodoo Punch recipe must be somethin' like this:

20 pounds of ice
5 gallons of fruit juices
1 case of various rums
1 1/2 buckets of Pure Evil

Pour all ingredients into a well chilled cauldron, mix with the Devil's pitchfork.

We will probably arrive very late, I'll have one drink and then
fall asleep on the couch, (please reserve couch for me) while the Mrs. does here usual shopping for new tiki mugs and other cool trinkets to add to our collection. Are white pants allowed? Looking forward to the Jimmy Buffet tunes!!

Mr Riviera: This is the thread fer Monkeyskull's 2006 party. You seem to be recallin' the 2005 party. Maybe yuh oughtta mix it up a bit and fall asleep somewhere else this year. Get wild.

How is it possible that I feel like I have a hangover today when I had NO alcohol at all last night? It's the Curse of the Voodoo Punch. I was standing near it and it crept into and penetrated my bloodstream I bet. Just a theory.

Thanks to Monkeyskull for yet another great ITD bash! It was fun seeing everyone again and meeting some new people as well.

Some interesting things were unearthed throughout the night but one of the better ones was this:

Mr. Dogbytes can substitute for Monkeyskull if Monkeyskull has had too much to drink and has passed out (not that that would EVER happen).

My burning questions:

Did anyone ever see any shooting stars? (Perseid Showers)

Did Monkeyskull pass out?

Are the no-longer-Voodoo-Virgins suffering today? (Two gals that Monkeyskull works with)

Did Poi Pupu (close enough) surrender and run a Voodoo Punch IV through his arm? (He goes waaay back with the Voodoo Punch, but when I left it appeared the Punch was winning)

Did Jim return to another year of Solitude in ______ ? (I can't expose the details, but let's just say I'm in the know)

Why is Sweetpea so hard to find?

Did Terrence ever get anyone to dance?

Does Monica want my shoes?

Why did Woofmutt and Sparky REALLY have to leave so early? Is anyone buying the airport story?

And finally...what happened after I left?

p.s. DOGBYTES: "incriminating photos to follow, once i figure out the new image loading system"

I am praying that you NEVER figure it out! All rumours are FALSE! Thanks for the BBQ Chicken Sandwich to go! :wink:

The host of the Voodoo Lounge party would never "pass out." Occasionally, he goes to sleep very quickly.

Thanks all for a grand time.

P.S. Any photos that show up more than 24 hours later are obviously retouched.

ha ha haaa that was damn funny, great job dogbytes!

I now have some deep regrets:

  • That I didn't spend more time with Sticky-Fingers Riviera. Must learn from the Master. All I went home with was a Tiki Magazine.

  • That I didn't meet IVAN (and we were actually on our way to find him and got distracted) regret regret regret

  • That I didn't make an appropriate Fez

  • That I didn't tell Terrance that he should "Dance like no one was watching" (but Dogbytes would secretly be hiding with her camera)

  • That I didn't wait for the Mothership as transportation home (the 2 hour route I had wasn't that fun)

  • That I didn't realize that some people over 40 need to work out! I think Dogbytes added 20+ pounds to all my photos when she retouched them (tsk tsk :nono badgirl!)

  • That I didn't get a shot of Dogbytes when she was flashing people (yes, she was!)

  • And lastly, that I didn't investigate that Happy Fun Ball pump!

I'm sure the rest of you have regrets too. :)

Oh, and I only have two photos so far:

That's 'The Big Cheese', to you. And my name is spelled 'Terence', not 'Terance' or 'Terrence'. And I wasn't alone: I had Monkeyskull's dehydrated miniature pineapple to keep me company (though it's conversation was a bit on the dry side). Anyway, was I supposed to get anyone to dance? I played music purely for background.

In any case, that comment is pure vengeful liable, as shortly after the sun went down, Mr. and Mrs. dogbytes did a rather embarrassing break dance routine to Martin Denny's 'Quiet Village'.

WOW! This was my 4th favorite international tiki day party ever! The
rum scented midori martini's packed quite a punch. After three of those
I could barely stand, and the strobe light reflecting off of the disco
ball hypnotized me into a trance that ended with me polluting the water
of the fountain of voodoo (a skimming net ahould remove the large chunks).
Hey, I want to apologize to big Norman Klumpowski, when I said that B of A
rules and WaMu is for idiot fools, that was the midori martini's talking.
You party people are the best, and whoever it was that shaved "Premiere Tool"

Sure, and that's not a pool of your own sick that you find around your head after your spontaneous sleeping fits; it's actually just a warm, orange, chunky, liquid pillow.

Well, monkeyskull, hardly a fortune...But certainly a price that reflects the rarity of the only owl mug Crane ever made, which is why none of the rest of you have ever heard of the mug. So stop tellin' monkeyskull he "got took".

I have to agree with Exoticat...I think it's just the princess personality of

We should get her back at the next event. However, with our common minds, I'm not feeling hopeful that we can come up with a decent plan. Perhaps we need to turn to New Linearism?

It is with much sadness that due to a botched cuticle adjustment procedure,
I will be unable to attend the festivities this year. Although my absence
may reduce the bemusement factor for some, at least no one will have to endure
me drunkenly drooling in the Voodoo punch bowl like last year. Actually
I don't think anyone noticed, because I slowly backed away as if nothing happened,
and casually resumed my nap on the sofa.
