I'll see you there, asbestos aloha shirt and all. It's gonna be hot, probably gonna need a painkiller. Who's damned and thirsty?

*Who's damned and thirsty? *

Oh, I'm damned.

That's me all right, very damned. Add in incorrigible if you listened to my Dear Old Mom. Also, quite thirsty. Not like years wandering in the desert parched, but pretty damned thirsty. Akin to 45 minutes walking downtown thirsty. Three cocktails in Alameda ought to do the trick.

Time to put on my Wednesday go to drinking clothes.

Hmmm... I'm a might bit parched myself, now that you mention it. See you there!

It won't be too long until I'm there too! Just give me a few Wednesdays...

Sweet Cocktails!

I went to FI last week 3 times...I am not sure I can stomach more rum. (esp when I overdue it so effortlessly!)

Then again...it is only 4:30 and who knows how I will be feeling in a few more hours.

Put me down as a maybe.....

oh the pressure!

Well.... if you twist my arm ...

we're baaack! and bringing a new cocktail book............

Is it the Even More Complicated and Annoying Cocktails Book Vol. 3? :wink:

I wasn't going to go, but hey, being damned + thirsty = damn thirsty! And, wow, just thinking about annoying and complicated cocktails is making me thirstier! 20/70 Swizzle, here I come!!!

Who's thirsty?

How are the drinks at FI in these post-Martin days?

Any noticeable difference in rum quality/quantity, juice freshness, or mixing?

Drinks haven't changed 1 bit. Still fab and the bartenders are still awesome :)

It was just nice to have Martin around -- he brought a different energy.

Anyways...Mai Tai did you notice I failed to show up last week?? I MAY be there tonight...depends on how long my blind date goes (A blind date that does NOT drink!crimmey!)...if I can escape early I will for sure need a cocktail!

Yeah, yeah, talk is cheap, Liz! And a blind date that doesn't drink? That's just trouble already a-brewin'. Hope to see you there. Unless you're chicken. BWOK!

Pele Nani and I are coming tonight (June 3).

Looking forward to meeting Jen's Special Guest!

Maybe he could be a designated driver for me--ya know stranger relationships have happened!

I will pencil it in. I really am thirsty now!

BWOK!

And a good time was had by all!

Always a good time when the TCers invade the Island!! Good to see you all and great to finally meet the vivacious Lala!!

Wed. again already I will be there

Haole'Akamai and I will be there at opening bell today.

Come wish her a happy Birthday!

We'll be leaving before 7pm to catch a show in the city, so get there early if you can.

Just got back from Las Vegas...went to some place with a Trader Vic's sign...ordered a Mai Tai...frivolity ensued...need a decent cocktail. Toot Sweet.

F.I. or busted.

Twenty Two! Twenty Two!!

On further review. We will NOT be at FI tonight.

We just don't have time before heading to SF for a show.

Drat, I don't think I'll be able to swing by tonight either. I have a big Tiki Crawl meeting to attend, to wrap up all the loose ends. If I swing by, it will be to kidnap Thee Midnites.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Thayer!!! :sheckymug: :drink: :tiki:

Yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY THAYER!! Pity you guys can't make it.
We have a flaming birthday Mai Tai for you - redeemable anytime.

Who is this mysterious person(a) named midnite?

Midnite...daylight...morning...I am so confused...where's the TIKI!?! :D

Sooooo thirsty!!!

It's no mystery, it's not like it's some weird puzzle or anything. Same old midnite with a few slight changes. I am committed to maintaining the same level of midnite to which you've all become accustomed.

For one, I am not currently associated with, employed by, or in any way officially connected to any intelligence agency, domestic or foreign. I have turned my back on those days and have devoted my life to spreading the good roll.

The only mission I have now is promoting Quicksand.

I'll be at F.I. tonight working with spirits, so to speak.

OK, so I don't make it every Wednesday night (even though I'd get $1 off every drink cause I'm a 94501er!)
BUT I will be making an appearance on Wed July 8
for my debut DJ gig at FI!!!
It is sort of a Pre-Party for Tiki Oasis

I'll be spinning Exotic Surf

DJ Otto at Forbidden Island
Wed, July 8
8 pm - midnight

DJ Otto says "Requests are welcomed but seldom honored"

Great ! I also have the book of "ANNOYING & DIFFICULT DJ REQUESTS"

I will be happy at the hours of happiness.

I'm thirsty!

Oh hey, it's Coco Loco's birthday! She's thirsty too!!!

Let's raise a glass to the State of Utah
today, they got rid of their restrictive Bar Laws after 40 years !

maybe the end of Washington State controlled liquor stores will be next

Hell of a bar crawl in Salt Lake City tonite !!

That is great news, to Elder Mai Tai's ears, Paul!

I hear that the Tikitastic Express is heading up to F.I. tonight as well. They bring with them a powerful thirst!

Pre Crawl shenanigans are ensuing right now! Who's thirsty?

Great turn out last night! :lol:

Join us this Weds (7/22) for Lara's going away party!
Lara, our star-bartender and fixture for the past two plus years is heading back home to the East Coast for an extended vacation.
Let's send our gal off in style with a night she'll fondly remember, unless she has too many Zombies of course. Lots of surprises being planned. Believe me, you don't want to miss this!!

Nooooooo! I was really disappointed when I found out Lara was leaving.
Her always friendly presence and expert drink slinging will be greatly
missed. We will definitely be there on Wednesday!

*Believe me, you don't want to miss this!!

Well, with all the advancements being made in liver transplant surgery I figure I got some additional margin of error. Damn the last few weeks of over-indulgence, full speed ahead, Smedley.

Miss the Shiv? No way, Magumbo. Oh, I just felt my liver move a bit, I need a drink. Down boy, down!

Be there, listen to your Elders!

ha ha ha.
I think that was your Liver trying to crawl out of your body in fear of
what lies ahead.
If you drink quick enough, you might sedate it, before it can get away.
:wink:

Jeff(bigtikidude)

It would be cool if every seat at the bar this Wed. has a TC person
Let's all go

Oh yes. It's on.

I'll be there too so come on out, everyone!

We have a VERY COOL SPECIAL SURPRISE in the works. One that you will not want to miss. It could be one or more of the things in the following list:

--new extremely limited edition "Shiv" mug
--one-night only special secret drinks
--staff kissing booth
--trip to Hawaii giveaway
--trip to Jersey giveaway
--your very own Airstream
--"win a date with Hanford"
--Ren Clark Headhunter on display behind bulletproof glass, brought out specially for this occasion only

And of course, all your best fiends will be there. So come on down.

p.s. I'm leaving FI in a couple of weeks myself, because I got into full-time grad school. I'm sad about leaving FI. No fanfare please. Thanks.

Mig, can I have your job? I'm serious.

The South Bay Party wagon's a rollin' up to wish Lara the best of luck and give her a proper send off. And by "proper send off" I, of course, mean:

1. Drunkenness
2. Tom Foolery
3. Crying
4. Pointless Babbling
5. Drink Spilling
6. Bizarre and pain in the ass drink requests
7. A lot of slurred "you're the best" comments

So, pretty much like ALL of our visits to F.I.

its been awesome serving you guys for the past few years and i truly will miss you. I'm looking forward to a fun send off tonight! be there or be shived...

Hey The Shiv,

IN. Look forward to drinking with you as a civilian. But until then we'll definitely enjoy your tasty mixology at FI tonight! :)

Maria

See ya in a little bit. Break out the swizzles!!! :D
