Ah the eternal debate: In like Flynn (i.e. Erroll) or.... In like Flint (i.e. our man).

The one thing no one can debate is that Hukilau will rock!

Otto, thanks so much! Everyone, thanks for the compliments. Just wait, that's actually not everything...there's more to come for 2008!

The mug and the pendant are actually based on one of the Mai Kai's own:

Munktiki and City Buddha has once again done an amazing job with both!!

SWEEET!!!

Nice.
Is Louise from the Mai Kai involved again for pendants pictures ?
Pleeeaase ?

Virani....for you, anything. Louise will once again be modeling for Hukilau merch!

We can't wait!!! Looks like there will be a fairly sizable NYC
contingent attending this year!

Love the new mug!

The lineup is stellar too!

Something to look forward to as we slog through Winter!

All hail Tiki Kiliki!

It's "in like Flynn" Erroll Flynn because of his reputation of bedding any lady he desired.
