I think that qualifies.. stop on by...

Hey Kirby- My boy loves the tiki pendant you gave me when I was there. I dig it too! He wore it to the post office with me the other day. I'm still trying to wrestle it back from him!

Thanks Kirby and Polly for your hospitality last Tuesday. The Rumpus Room is sweet! Kirby, not only did you guys achieve a nice execution with the materials, but with your art, the volcano, and humorous touches it really shows your unique personality. Awesome!

What a treat, hanging in your fab tiki room, drinking Trader Tom's tasty (and lovely) Mai Tais and talking tiki with some very cool LA ohana. It was great meeting you all and I hope to see you again later this summer!

Another excellent night at the Rumpus Room... Great tunes!

Somebody got something in the mail today!


Thanks Kirby for the including me as one of the recipients for the Rumpus Room pendant. I'll get back there one of these days.

TikiMango - Looking good with your pendant, man! I'm glad you posted this pic 'cause Kirby asked last night if I had sent it to you..here's proof! :)

Speaking of last night, I had a wonderful time hanging out at the Rumpus Room. Met a couple of new tiki friends too, you can't beat that.

DigiTiki organized us to pick one exotica flavored song (from a collection of CDs and rare vinyl LPs) then had each of us introduce it live for his "The Quiet Village" podcast. Very very cool. Thanks for the honor Mark.

Tobunga holds his Quiet Village at the Rumpus Room art while DigiTiki salutes. Cheers!

Thank you so much Kirby and Polly for graciously allowing me to attend the Rumpus Room again...what an amazing place. Thanks to TikiG also for being my "sponsor"!! I so appreciate the amount of work that went into that place. The new painting looks great in the rumpus room lighting G!

I had a fantastic time last night what a great group of people...... Hiphipahula you mix a mean cocktail I loved Leilani's Volcano (my new favorite). Being able to attend the podcast was a nice way to share individual musical choices, I think Grog wins for the most unique selections!! That was fun. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing all of you again soon.

Wow! The Rumpus Room looks amazing thanks for sharing your place Kirby.
Sorry again about the Navy Grog dousing Tobunga, I may rename this variant to the "Tobunga Soaker".

Trader Vics is going to have a hard time competing against the Rumpus Room on Tuesdays.
The Rumpus Room is the best Tiki bar in LA.

This past year 2009 after months of hard work, the "Rumpus Room" was hand built by Kirby, Polly and fellow Tiki Ohana, Tiki Mango and Tiki G, with additional help from Tikiyaki Orchestra, Jim Bacchi and Marty Lush, they mostly just drank Mai Tais and watched us.....

Yeah Murph..the Flaming Macadamia Nut Chi Chi = yummy goodness in a tiki bowl.

Thanks Hiphipahula for the surprise award-winning special presentation.
This kicked my Tuesday night into high gear (maybe the Painkiller as a Chi Chi chaser helped?!!?)


(I love the psychedelic light patterns hovering over our table!

  • Thanks Bewitched by Tiki for the unique capture of this pic)

Thanks again Kirby & Polly for a great time :)
To the Rumpus Room Ohana...Cheers! Love 'yall, til next time..

I'll claim that lens flare/orb was me there in Spirit!

Notice how we all seem to have other drinks going while we drink from the bowl.
