You've gotta get in the bocce action. And, if you want a place in the tournament, I'm sure you two could beat me for a place on the board. I'm the worst bocce player Oakland has ever seen.

We are whirlwinding through the east coast, but once we get back it will be a full press to get everything set up. Picked up some inspiration for new cocktails from the fine bars in New York as well as the discovering a funny little cocktail book from Hawaii in a thrift store in St Augustine. The drinkin' at Hinky Drinks is going to be good.

H Haole'akamai Member The Polynesian Port of NOLA Joined: Jul 07, 2005 Posts: 2276	H Haole'akamai Posted posted on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 8:41 AM Aloha! With just a scant three weekends before TikiBocce IV (tagline: "Just what the Doctor ordered") and the evite has gone out! Basic rundown: 11am: Hinky Drinks at Lund Manor throws its doors akimbo, to the enjoyment of all. Original punches and hand-made cocktails await thirsty travellers. 12pm-ish: The Mai Kai Gents will begin their Hapa Haole serenades. The BBQ grills should be fully engulfed by this point. 11-ish to 2: Hot Bocce Pre-lim Action! First 8 teams to win their open matches move on to the official TikiBocce Tournament. 3pm: TikiBocce Tournament begins, whittling down the teams, by hook, crook, and fight-to-the-death mano-a-mano combat (if deemed necessary), until one emerges victorious! Before sunset: The TikiBocce IV Awards Ceremony. *If there are out-of-town guests who wish to join the festivities and are hesitant to do so, due to lodging questions, Lund Manor proper has several accommodations that are currently available. Please inquire within. As with most everything in life, first come, first served.

Yes, we will all be wearing clothes. Zippers functioning etc. Beyond that it's up to you to address your own level of creativity in apparel. :)

Seriously kicked arse. If they could have literally kicked the other teams, they probably would have. The MaiKai gents kicked musical behind. Was that a Link Wray cover? Sweet. I think we probably topped off at around 95 degrees. Jinkies. Good thing we a whole lotta ice on hand. Thanks to everyone who came by and made this yet another success. We took zero photos. I'm hoping some of the people with cameras will send me a disc of snaps? Oh. And can I tell you about the good roll?

The perfect way to spend a hot summer afternoon!

I'll have to send him the link for the box scores. He actually plays Bocce 2x per week at their local senior center. My mom's theory is that all his practice helped me somehow.

The agony of defeat....and the feet. My socks literally melted into my sneaks. You know, I think I need to find a religion with a better dress code. The Buddhists with the long flowing robes, those look pretty cool. "Oh. And can I tell you about the good roll?" Please do. From about about the sixth qualifying match on I remember very little. A good time was had though, indeed. Sure, Quicksand beat a quick exit, but we do have spirit. Get it, spirit? Oh Lordy, even with mild dehydration and a too-high body core temp I still got it. Many thanks to T&S for a great Tiki Bocce. Next Year! Elder Midnite Always did hate that f&%@#in' drink.

This year was especially fun, despite the unusual temperature. You thoughtfully had the air conditioner on inside, so being able to pop into the coolness of Lund Manor from time to time really helped. And the crazy Elder Mai Tai and Midnite were as usual hilarious. Poor Elder Midnite was officiating, so his pith helmet took the brunt of the heat. Thanks too for the birthday wishes. That was really fun...! Thanks so much! :) xoxo CL
