No longer the old girl has a youthful glow to be enjoyed. The Port Cochere is looking fantastic. The Entrance has been repainted. All of the black plastic is out of the Molokai Bar. The landscaping inside and out is lush (more so with our recent rains). Most of the orchids are in bloom. New Tikis everywhere! The magic has returned to the Mai-Kai Can I add that my wife's birthday is also on the 12th. Its gonna be fun!!!! I lost count, but I think we have about 10 people celebrating birthdays across that weekend. Andy's birthday is also the 12th your lady and mine can celebrate together!

This goes to show that you must use "precautions" when "celebrating" after Halloween parties! Did I mention my daughters birthday is June 21!!!

At least not always. Um, I mean... Anyway, I have a room at the Cabana, and am wondering if there is anyone who would like to share it with me. I'm vending, and I am hosting during the room crawl, so there will certainly be cocktails, and lots of hair flowers. Some people around here think I'm pretty fun, but you can ask them, I suppose, if you really want to know! I'm coming in on Wed and checking out Monday. If anyone is looking to go splitsville on a room, PM me. Thanks! See you in Ft. Lauderdale! Viva Hukilau!!! Suzanne

C conchchowder Member Joined: Mar 04, 2009 Posts: 47	C conchchowder Posted posted on Sun, Jun 7, 2009 1:38 AM Well, we started off Hukilau Week at the Mai Kai with a flaming Russian Roulette. Click the link to see the video. (Caution: video contains several adult expletives, an witticism, and a modified verse from an 80's song with references to a roof being on fire and the lack of necessity for water to put it out, which contains the F-word...this video is totally unsuited for anybody OTHER than tikiphiles, truck drivers, construction workers, and reformed evangelical Druids) If coarse language offends you, DON'T CLICK ON THE FREAKING LINK!!!! Otherwise, I think you will want to wait for the end of the night, when just a few souls are left, and join us for one of these bad-boys.

Too bad the AC crapped out and we sweltered...but the women remaind absolutely beautiful! The bands, the food, the drink. We left the Mai Kai at 3:15 AM after singing Happy Birthday to Dave Levy, watching him play the turquoise tiki. After dropping off my frienda at the Cabana, I went to Primanti Brothers and ran into King Kukulele on his way back to LA and Boodoo the Molokai bartender going for an after-work slice. Happy Birthday Dave and thanks for a great time (as always).
