Joined: Aug 04, 2006 Posts: 413	T Tangaroa-Ru Posted posted on Sun, May 24, 2009 9:47 AM If anyone ever makes a documentary on Bamboo Ben, they should title it "Pirate Ships In the Desert". If anyone every gives out awards to party-throwers with the most Aloha, it should go to Queen Kamehameha! Three words: Oh. My. God. What an amazing place! And to open it up to everyone? Unbelievable. I had the BEST time, and by the looks on everyone's faces (and great drinks and food in their hands) WE ALL DID. This one goes down in the books, Amy. You outdid yourself on every level, and we thank you! Now... can I move in with you?

T TIKI-RAY Member Alta Loma, California Joined: May 18, 2003 Posts: 846	T TIKI-RAY Posted posted on Sun, May 24, 2009 10:52 AM UNBELIEVABLE !!! Walt Disney would be proud of your vision. And probably get a few decorating tips from you. Everyone had such a great time because of all your hard work and planning. That party was over the top. Nick from Tiki Mag should do a Better Homes and Gardens edition just on you two and your polynesian palace. For all that were sipping on those incredible MaiTais I had in my jug , here's the recipe. Sailor Jerrys rum, Ralphs generic MaiTai mix and fresh lime juice. Mahalos to Ray and Amy. Yahooooo !.

T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Fri, May 29, 2009 5:42 PM Amy WOW!! The party looked great in the pic's We have a pool and about one tenth the grand space you have. But folks let me tell ya. Every inch of that space needs to be swept, hosed, brushed. Before the party. And the pool almost always turns green days before. Then you get to start on the food, booze, ECT after that. Then you have people that lets face it you kind of know at your home. It's a job. But the partys we have had, went well, as did yours. Good job Amy!!!
