I'm going,
anybody from OC area want to Car Pool.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Hey Jeff. I'm still waiting on an email, to verify what I am doing Saturday.

Wouldn't mind carpooling. I'm in Anaheim.

Send me a pm.

OD,
well when you find out, let me know.
I can drive out there by myself if I have to.
but figured a carpool would be wise in these hard economic times.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

All, please remember to RSVP, I am leaving a list at the gate, so if you are coming and haven't RSVP'd with your name, the evil gatekeepers will not let you in. yes, I am listing all your TC names just for fun :)

Hey Jeff.

I got the email I was waiting for. Turns out, Saturday will not work for me. Have a good time for me.

But since we're in the same city, pm me any time to talk tiki.

John

John,

Spermy said maybe, I'll drive,
I just hate to drive by myself,
its boring and a waste of gas.

Thank you so much, Amy! It was an fantastic party! RAmyland and your house are amazing. You are such a generous host and throw a terrific party. It was great to meet you!

Many Mahalos!!!

maybe I'm thinking of another thread.

anywho.
Wow!!!!!!!
amazing place,
so cool!!

thanks so much for having us all invade your slice of Paradise Amy.
you are truly gracious.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

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?

PICTURES!

Big Mahalos, Muchas Gracias, and WooooHooooo to you Amy! Your place is fantastic! And full of great stories! You are the consummate hostess! Everything was soooo perfect! Everyone looked to be having a great time. We will post pictures later...Again, thank you!

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 !.

Long live the Queen!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the invite Amy, A.J. and I enjoyed the hell out of ourselves!!!

Your home is more Tiki then even the Caliente Tropics!!!!!!

Thank you all for coming I had the best time and you all were just the best! I have met so many terrific people it was great having you all at the house. thank you all again!

Amy

PS, the gifts were unexpected, but really nice!

It was if Disneyland served alcohol....

Here are some Night Pics


My WIfe Bobbie and I had a GREAT TIME
Thanks for opening up your home for us to see.

If only Chief Double Down wouldn't have gotten me at the casino later that evening it would have been a perfect night.

Amy's party was definitely the event of the season. The place looks incredible. Amy is hostess with the mostest and Ben once again out did himself. I am posting a few pictures, but they do not do the place justice. Amy, thank you so much for extending an invitation to us and for you're warm hospitality. You made us feel so welcome. Ray, it was a treat to get to sit down and get to know you.


Amy and Ben. No explanation needed

Amy & Ray, Thanks for a great party. Karen & I had a fun time. Your place is fabulous. Every thing was great. The food, music, & of course all the TC'ers. Here are a few more pictures.
Thanks Again, Mike & Karen





Must be break time.

At night your plce comes alive.





WOW! Amy, your pad is incredible. Thanks for the opportunity to see it. Please feel free to invite me over anytime!

In the meantime, here are more photos. I know, I know, some of these look like some earlier photos, but they bare repeating.

Here's the incredible main bar on the lower terrace. Front view...

and side.

The incredible Tiki Bo Peep, right before feeding the Koi

Some of the many incredible Koi. These are the happiest Koi in the world. Just look at those smiles. Incredible!

Incredible Meandering paths and bridges...

which lead to this Tiki sanctuary. Which just so happens to be incredible.

Found on the upper terrace is this incredible poolside secret mystery hut.

And of course the incredible putting green located on the mid terrace:

On the lower terrace there is a spacious covered stage with huge dance floor. Incredible!

Colorful TC people getting lit up: Okay, well that's a bit predictable.

Huge incredible Tikis:

Oh, and did I mention how incredible this whole place is?
Once again, thanks Amy!

I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thank You Amy & Ray for a wonderful time, you are the best hosts ever. I will never forget what a great day it was & Thank You also for the grand tour what a home! I look forward to visiting again, what a gas! -Kelly

My birthday is the 23rd, thanks for partying for me!
I'd love to make the next one!

Thank You Amy, Dani and I Had a very nice time, Love the place! Cheers! Gogo

mahalo amy! what a swingin pad.
thanks for your hospitality and having the martini kings provide the soundtrack.
we had a blast.
best,
tony
p.s.
the zebra skin made al break out in a rash but i think he'd agree that it was worth the fun!

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!!!

WOW WOW WOW , Thats so Beautiful .
