After being doomed to miss the Oasis and the Hukilau, I will definitely have to attend Exotica 2003. Please play "The Size of your Tiki" in my absence, from your CD compilation that I continuously enjoy in my exile.

Hopefully this won't be the last thing you have for a while.

T Traderpup Tiki Socialite Long Beach, CA Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 1055	T Traderpup Posted posted on Mon, Aug 25, 2003 10:45 AM It is monday morning, and I am still fishing mai tai cups and champagne corks from the pool skimmer! Thank you to all who helped make the premier of the Spectacular East Indies Room a memorable evening! Congratulations to the contest participants & winners! Alnshely won the trivia contest, taking home an autographed Martin Denny album; Iuka Grogg took top honors with his inspirational Mai-Taiku, earning him a nice Coco Joes wall plaque (BOT, p. 187, lower right). The outrageous cocktail garnish event really showed off some bizarre creativity: MTKahuna with the cool beach hut party swizzle; Laney and her shrunken head garnish, complete with shrunken fruit, eyeballs, floating dead babies, and bubbling fog (someone hire Laney to decorate for a baby shower!); and Atomic Cocktail, who had Vintage Girl daintily perched on the edge of a Tiki mug (literally!). They all earned Tiki drink vessels, and bottles of TV rum! Mrs. Sugarcaddydaddy brought an amazing cake to commemorate the event, featuring the SEIR logo! Thanks much! And thanks to all for the bar warming goodies.... the rum reserves are now well fortified.... The hit drink of the evening was the Typhoon... which, unfortunately, has not yet made it into the ranks of the Grog Log or Intoxica!.... but look for it.... different and tasty! There were lots of flash bulbs popping, hopefully we'll get to see some pics soon! Mahalo!

I was drafted to spend weekend at D-land and the D-land hotel. There was a big Goth gathering there which made it interesting, but not as much as the East Indies Room I'm sure. I want to see some pictures! Al, Al!
F floratina Tiki Socialite Pasadena CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 1002	F floratina Posted posted on Mon, Aug 25, 2003 1:14 PM Twas a fine evening, indeed. The Spectacular East Indies Room is a joy to behold. Even the switchplates were tapified. There were many interesting carvings - there was even a (anti)rape god hanging on the ceiling. The mixology was brilliant and the SEIR staff kept the trays stocked with fresh, warm, tasty noshes. I especially loved the lava rock-y poolside waterfall, replete with treasure chest. Thank you to the Pup Team for all of your effort - just to please us tikis. I held up my initial post until this morning, when I hoped to get some pix up; unfortunately I didn't bring the proper cable with me today and dagnabbit, I needed that in order to download the photos! I will get some up tomorrow.

Sooooo many cools and interesting things to see everywhere! Your home was a visual cornucopia! The East Indies room was truly spectacular. A visual feast! I especially liked the App-A-Tiki. The spread was great and the drinks delicious. (Very, very interesting use of Spam.) Okay, okay, I can go on and on...but many, many accolades to our fine hosts!
