can some one bring a bartender tonight, kelly wiil be arriving late and I only know how to mix beer!!!

bringing ice, limes & lemons

T

Oh no! No Kelly tonight! No Grog, Tonga Tom or Sherriyaki! It almost wasn't Rumpus Room!

But we all rallied and TikiGeeki made Navy Grogs, Dr. Z whipped up some mai tais, Manuel mixed up some Jetsetters and mai tais and then Trader Tom arrived and saved the day!

Big, and unexpected, turn out tonight too! The afore mentioned Dr. Z, Ravenne, Filthy Midget, Robert... lots of MIA Rumpus Roomers making their return visits tonight! Plus first timers Nicole (friend of Jocelyn, AKA lilusako), who got her first taste of Tiki on Sunday at the TIkiyaki DVD screening at Tonga Hut... two tiki events in one week... tiking like a pro!) and Travis (friend of Filthy Midget) who even brought his own tiki mug!

I think Cap'n R H Falernum snapped a few pix tonight too... crippled in the documentation department without Tonga Tom... But a GREAT time was still had by all!

Hope ALL the regulars make it out next week! Kelly, we need you!!!!

A crazy night at the Rumpus Room. We missed a lot of our favorite faces, but had a great time with everyone that was able to make it out.

Although it was a rather packed house at one point, this photo (captured at the end of the night) shows just a few of the attendees (and Kirby's great new faux-hawk).
My apologies to everyone I didn't get in this photo, including Manuel who was running about taking care of all kinds of tasks.
It's no Tonga Tom level of photo, but it was the best I could squeeze out of my crappy camera phone.

Cheers, everyone.

Oh! And through the murky lens of that same, wretched camera, may I introduce everyone to...
THE VOLCANO COOLER.

Bummed we didn't make it out last night to see many regulars and irregular regulars. It sounds like you all had a great time! Looking forward to next week, and trying "The Volcano Cooler". Thanks for the recap Tobunga, and for taking some pix Capt. R.H.F.!

Wednesday Night we are on people! June 30 2010

Hope to see you, If you need a address to the Rumpus Room please PM Kirby or Hiphipahula
Don't forget at least 3 limes & a lemon or so to get into the Rumpus Room

Needs:

ICE ICE ICE
Mint
Clear Plastic cups 9-16oz.
Coruba Dark Rum
LEMON HART RUMS
Appleton Rum
Barbancourt Rum
Stoli Vodka
Bombay Gin or ?
Kern's Nectar's Guava, Peach, Mango, Papaya
Torani Passion Fruit Syrup
Torini Orgeat

Anything new and different you would like to try & THANK YOU ALL!

Kelly, I brought a bottle of Coruba Dark last time, so we're not as low as you might think. We can always use more, though. It goes fast.

I bought a little mint at Whole Foods this evening to take with me this week and will also try to make some more tasty syrups for Wednesday.

I think we're out of brandy and cognac, too. We had some Remy Martin floating around for a while and I think it's gone.

We definitely need more orgeat. I think we have half a bottle left but it goes so fast!

Please, no more pineapple juice. We have plenty.

The fresh-squeezed grapefruit for Navy Grogs was nice, though, last week, if somebody wants to do that again...

See you guys soon!

I probably have some others. Were you looking for anything in particular?

Okay, I forgot to post photos from the 16th of June for some reason...must've been a busy week. Here they are...

A great time was enjoyed last night at the Rumpus Room with some new faces, TWO broken mugs and the addition of a beautiful new lamp. So many people showed up that a large portion of the party moved to the back patio for much of the night.

Since Tonga Tom wasn't able to make it, I did the best to fill his shoes & get some snaps of the goings-on...

It was bright out when we were getting started:

One of Kelly's new cocktail creations (with incredible color & taste):

Yes, the Rumpus Room serves virgin drinks as well:

Kelly works her magic:

And, at some point, she was moving so fast to keep up with the numerous drink order that she literally disappeared:

The Tip Monkey is hungry. So very hungry...

The great, new lamp from tikiskip...

Thanks for the great times, everybody!

RR Rocks!!
Great drinks Kelly!!!
Nice to meet some TC folk.

I will be attending next week's Rumpus Room Wednesday - its been way too long between visits.

Bringing gifts from another land, a little booze and stuff...

See you guys next week! G

Just got back home thanks Kirby for the great party!
Your bar is way cool!
If you get some time I wanna do that collaboration light with you.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight! I'm gonna try and stop by Smart and Final on the way to see if I can track down passion fruit syrup. This is madness! How hard is it to find passion fruit syrup?

Looks like I will be showing up after 9pm with Travis. I will bring Limes & lemons, and of course ice. See you all tonight :D

TT

Sorry, but I can't make it tonight. Ilene spent most of this last week in the hospital and just got released this afternoon. She's feeling much better though. Hope to see you guys next week.

Yeeaah!

Landing back at the Rumpus Room after a long journey away from my extended family -
felt great to be in the company of Rumpus Room friends, at last, again.

Needless to say I simply carried on where I left off. There were some new things to scope eyes on, new refreshments to test courtesy of Hiphipahula and okay - I brought a few gifts from distant tiki horizons that were new to those that received.

I did manage to take a handful of snapshots too...


New addition to a Rumpus Room wall - green Marq courtesy of TikiG via Florida's Tiki Hana


Melekalikimaka and Sherryaki enjoy their Painkillers


Tyler really digs his new (in-process) tiki-buggy stroller built by pops Kirby


TikiG presents Hiphipahula with his latest painting, made especially for her


Some of the gang proudly wear their new "MechaMoai" T-shirts courtesy of Florida's TikiMango

-until next-time, Aloha! G

Last night was great!
I was staggering my way out as Kelly packs a mean punch in her tasty cocktails :drink:

Tiki G that painting is super amazing!
We were all still adoring it last night 8)

Reesnik and Tikimecula !! It will be great to see you guys!!

Will have Mr. NoNaMe (Eric the Red) with us as well. It'll be great to see you guys also.

[ Edited by: Matt Reese 2010-07-13 21:19 ]

Ilene is feeling better this week and I think I'll be able to swing by for a visit Wednesday night.

I hope you guys arrive hungry. I'm going to make a huge Hawaiian Pork Chili and will have plenty for everyone.

See you there!

Eric and Manuel, if you guys have a vegetarian dish you'd like to bring, I'll have plenty of plastic spoons and paper bowls...

I wish I could be there! I hope you guys have a lot of fun... I'll be venturing out to Smuggler's Cove (or the Tonga Room) with a friend tomorrow. :)

Well, to make sure the veggies are represented, I'm making some mini veggie pizzas!

See everybody tonight!

Thanks for making and bringing the pizza Eric, it was delish! I didn't get to try Tom's chili, but I heard rave reviews.
Awesome turnout last night with lots of irregulars (some from far away lands), sorry I didn't make it to the backyard to get pictures of many of you, but there is the group photo at the end.
To much drinkin' not enough snappin'...Here's a few photos from last night.

Bowl of Big Brown Nut!

Some outdoor bowling...

It was a great & very drunk night!
Good way to kick off my vacation!!!

Had a really good time. Thanks to everyone involved with such a nice evening. Hope to make it up again sometime.

A little more than 2 dozen people. That's a pretty good turnout for a weekly homebar gettogether.
