J johnman Member RI Joined: Apr 18, 2005 Posts: 452	J johnman Posted posted on Sat, Oct 13, 2007 8:39 AM I'm still in! My costume will be rather lame (think Indiana Jones on vacation) but I'll still be dressed a little bit differently than my normal Tiki-self. Also I'm going to bring up some cinnamon infused sugar syrup. We can maybe crack into some of the Sippin' Safari cocktails which require the Don's mix. See everyone soon!!!

I had a great time! Bargoyle and Jess, as usual were the best hosts imaginable! Scottes is one well informed Rum Guy!!! And events with the NorthEast Tikiphiles are always a great hang! Alrighty then, I'll stop with the exclamation points. I imagine those who took part in all the Rum tasting want me to stop yelling. :) Thanks Scottes, Bargoyle and the FOM.

Cant wait for the next get-together. rapscallion

Did Wai Tiki really play or is pappy pulling my Dildo's Bumbo? That's what I forgot to mention, I loved that Dildo's Bumbo! Soon I'll post the great Tiki Finds that I picked up at Tag Sales in Bargoyle's neck of the woods!

Fun was had .......too much fun........too much rum!~ Thanks to Bargoyle and Jess for a ridiculously fun event - lotsa laughs, lotsa rum! Thanks to Scottes - great rum-ology, helping us to be better rum drinkers! It Was great to see you ALL again and continue our conversations and laughs. The opportunity to imbibe with such afficionados is not taken lightly nor unrealized. Thanks to the Man from U.n.c.l.e. (CQ) and Mrs Roper (VL) for being you! Thanks to the Mayor of Exotica and his mad bartending skills. Most of all thanks again to Bargoyle, Jess, the Lono Lounge and the FOM for a great day! I'm going back to bed now.

It was, indeed, a wonderful event. I only regret that I had to leave so soon! Somehow I have to arrange for the next one to happen on a night that I don't have to leave for a gig. Thanks, Scottes, for a most informative, intoxicating presentation, and to Bargoyle & Jess, for the wonderful hospitality and shwag, and to all who contributed and participated. I had a great time!

It was a great time, and thanks so much to Bargoyle & Jess for a wonderful setting and after-party. Thanks to all you guinea pigs for putting up with my first rum presentation - especially for putting up with those white rums at the beginning! I had a great time, and I'm glad you all enjoyed a little bit of rum!
