Kelly Hiphipahula'sTonga Hut Parties 2009-2012 Farewell pg.42

Hey Kelly,
I'll see you somewhere between 5-8pm tonight! Gotta knock some more off the Grog Log.

Okay, so I showed up at the Tiki Wonderland Party at 10:30PM...

Which was a little late to the ball...

But I really enjoyed visiting with the folks that were left! Ernie let me see his new mugs, which are REAL PURTY. We had several handcrafted Tiki drinks. I added the Blackbeard's Ghost to my Grog Log check-off list. I also got to try some cookies from the contest. Cass had some shortbread left, I had some cinnamon pinwheels, then tried the winning cookies. All winners as far as I'm concerned. I even took some rice krispie treats home to Ilene and it proved an excellent bribe for me staying out so late.

I ended up staying till last call. Can't wait for the next event!!! I'll try to pay attention to times next time. Promise!

Hi Everybody!
Here are some pics I took from the event.
It was really fun, great tunes to set the mood from Jeff
and Kelly's drinks were amazing as usual!!
I had a Voodoo Grog and LapuLapu, delicious!

Thanks, Ernie for putting together a great show.
I love your new Moai salt and pepper shakers!

Claudette

Thanks Claudette.

Hey John, Yes I will be mixing it up with Hiphip's original cocktails all weekend! Y'all come see me now! Sat. & Sun. 4-8pm

Thanks John for asking :)

Order the Melekilikimaka. It tastes like Christmas.

Who is this guy and does he have an online store?

My sister in law would go crazy for one of those "head vase" pin up girls.

I'm just catching up with this thread now. I used to live right around the corner from the Tiki Hut and often grabbed Thai food on the weekend from Vic's, across the street. Now I live in the South Bay and the Tiki Hut is a far drive for me. I wish these gatherings had been going on when I lived in NoHo. Ah, well.

Hey Mahbookie, the guy with the table of fun girls is on-line at http://www.FluffShop.com. If you purchase something you are to enter the secret code:OASIS at checkout. Those girls are expensive but I've seen them up close at Oasis9 and they are outstanding. Wendy

Thanks a lot! My sister in law thanks you too. Though she wont know it until she gets her gift from there.

We're heading over to the Hut tonight, anyone else going?

Argh! We can't make it tonight, but we'll be there Sunday for sure!

JOHN-O will be there on Sun as well (around 5pm).

I'm overdue. :)

GROG try and swing by.

I'll be swinging by today as well.

Claudette those head vases are awesome!

Why aren't you posting more of your work on here lady?
All I ever see are Jason's nudie paintings...it would be nice to have some balance!

I think we've recovered from last night, so we're gonna have our first drink(s) of 2010 at the Tonga Hut tonight with Kelly.
Hope to see you there!

Needs to make one of these realy soon .

I'm gonna try to stop by to see if Kelly's invented any new drinks for me. "The French Whore" is one.

Why isn't this called the "JOHN-O Special"? I wanna be immortalized just like Rasta Jim at Tiki-Ti.

Also is Marty Lush one of the Tikiyaki's?

Off to Tonga Hut!!!

YAY! What a perfect way to end the New Year's Weekend!
Kelly mixing up great drinks, Marty Lush mixing up great tunes, great tiki friends, lots of nacho cheese, and TWO performances by Jeremy (that Coconut song is a classic!)!!!

Ok, 2010, bring it on!

Now here's a little bit of what Eric is talkin' about...

Great pix, TongaTom ! With Marty at the musical helm, looked like a nice ring into the new year. AND the return of Ravenne from the East Coast!

Bean spillers, do tell what song it was that Jeremy happened to be singing. Can't imagine...must've been about a coconut.

Cheers & Happy 2010~!

Any plans for a great set of HAPPIEST HOURS this weekend?
I'm trying to make it up to the Tonga Hut area this Saturday - so it would be great if Kelly is working! :)

Anyone going tonight between 4-8pm? If so, Sherriyaki & I hope to see you there.

Saturday evening at the Tonga Hut was great! I signed on to the Grog Log and conquered a couple. TikiG and I introduced a newcomer, Darcy, who found herself enjoying a couple of Hiphiphahula's concoctions! TikiG presented a new painting as well. A good night, all in all.

after these, we got a little silly...

Aloha Tiki Central! Please join us again today Sunday for our weekly Tiki Party featuring Original Tiki Drinks by Hiphipahula! Also,the Grog Log is also awaiting you, become a member of the Tonga Hut "Loyal Order of the Drooling Bastard!" starting at 4pm until 8pm. Joining the party line up at 8pm is Mixologist, Tiki Bartender, the lovely Miss Lisa Marie. See you here at the Hut with snacks, tunes, amazing cocktails & the best company kept anywhere! Aloha & Mahalo Tiki Central!

Melekalikimaka and TikiG, it was great seeing you last night. I like the photos of the drinks with the Grog Log recipes, I wish we would of thought of that soooo many many drinks ago. Also, it's nice to see more boobies at TH...thanks TikiG!

Looking forward to lounging tonight with DJ Lush and HipHiPaHulA! It will be a good night for anyone to knock off the "Polynesian Spell" from their Grog Log list...they have grape juice, yes I said grape juice.

Marty Lush in the Hut today spinnin'. Tiki, Lounge &Surf Sounds! 4-9pm !

I must say I had a most enjoyable time at the Tonga Hut last Saturday night during Hiphipahula's 4:00pm to 8:00pm shift.

Thanks Kelly for the beautiful cocktails as always - and Thanks to you I checked a few more off the Grog Log list. Slowly I'll catch up with...

TongaTom and Sherriyaki...good to see you two as well...always delightful company and TongaTom - Thanks for the compliment, it was an absolute pleasure to present more boobies to the 'Hut - albeit painted on canvas :)

Which brings me to Jeremy. Please do my painting justice with a hand built frame; I hope to see it hanging next time I'm visiting the 'Hut. Thanks for the kind response to it, I'm so pleased you like it. Its an honor having one of my TikiG works hanging on a wall inside your establishment.

Finally - Thanks Mel for posting the pics pre silly/post silly. I prefer post silly.

Tonga Hut. Enter w/residue of the outside world...leave refreshed and nourished. Awesome!

Dynamic drinks, terrific tunes, and cool company on 1/10/2010 at Tonga Hut...

Hey Tonga Tom, have you completed the Grog Log yet? I look forward to seeing you immortalized on the wall of fame.

Just curious, what were your top 5 favorite drinks?

Always a pleasure to hang with the Tikiphyles!
