We just can't wait until Ohana in September, or even Hukilau in June to get together with everyone (we miss you guys!) so we're going to do a low frills, low cost, tiki getaway weekend, and we hope you'll join us. We're all meeting up for dinner at the Luau Hale in Lenox, Mass (569 Pittsfield Road) at around 4pm on Saturday, May 2nd. Then after taking in the fantastic food, atmosphere, and AMAZING cocktails that they have to offer, we're walking back to our hotel at the Yankee Inn for a mini room crawl and shenanigans until the wee hours. We've arranged a group rate of only $79 for the night at the Yankee Inn (461 Pittsfield Road, Lenox Mass) Call 800-835-2364 and mention the "Tiki Retreat" to get the rate. If you've never been to the Luau Hale, you’re in for a treat. If you have, we'll you've probably stopped reading this and are already calling the Yankee Inn!! You are, of course, welcome to just come & have dinner with us, but the drinks there are strong, so we highly suggest arranging sober transportation home...or, even better, get the room & hang with us all night. PM me to let me know if you’re coming so we'll have a headcount for dinner, and if you’d like to host a room! See ya in the Berkshires!

Thanks to everyone who hosted a room. The drinks were delicious! Martiki-Bird, what was in that Honi Honi? It was yummy yummy. Some fuzzy highlights: BELA LUGOSI, DRY ICE, BLACK SABBATH, TABUZAK WITH THE KILLER MUZAK! Bargoyle, you are the DON KING OF DEBAUCHERY, THE BILL GRAHAM OF BOOZE (ignoring of course the more unsavory aspects of said personalities for the sake of alliteration). Thanks for putting together another funfest. Aloha, baby. [ Edited by: thunderlips 2009-05-04 15:56 ]

A fantastic time had by all!! The Luau hale was great (even if they aren't music lovers lol) and the room crawl & cocktails made by our ohana were top notch, as usual. I know I sound like a broken record, but it really IS all of you guys & gals who make these events as great as they are, and I thank you for your great attitudes, generous natures, and Aloha Spirit. We'll see ya next month at Hukilau, or worst case, in the fall up at Lake George!! Aloha!!!!
