What a great evening at Dons! I resisted my usual "gotta go, it's a work night" exit routine, and though I'm feeling the consequences a little today it was well worth it!

Brent

Marie and JonPaul we missed you dearly...

It was a riot! What fun we had at Don's last night, I had not forgotten so many good times there. With bartending duties at the Tonga Hut on weekends and the drive from the desert it's been a rough year making it out to every event like I used to.
I met Tonga Tom & Sherriyaki when I first starting working at the Hut, they were 2 of my first customers and first to make our "Loyal order of the Drooling Bastard" list of VIP's. Not so new to the world of tiki though, they were lurkers of TC and residents of HB and spent a deal of time in Sams Seafood until re-locating in the Valley which brought them to the Tonga Hut. Not to mention that they were all along lurking the grounds of a few Tiki Oasis quietly, can you imagine that. :)
Tom, Sherri and I had been saying we've got to make the time to head out to Don's for TC night and we were getting the 'ol " when ya gonna come out? " question week after week so, we came out! It feels good to be out :roll:
We hope to see you all more often now we had a great time, I was still the Designated Driver but was more
than happy to do so. I tasted everything as always! Yum! Thanks everyone! See you soon!

Good times last monday.
lets do it again.

Kelly was working a last minute shift at TH yesterday, so we met some TC peeps there for a few drinks. Can't to get back to Don's on a Monday really soon, we had a blast! Definitely looking forward to seeing everyone there for MariePalooza.

Forgot to bump this tonight,
but probably good I didn't.
the place was absolutely jam packed.
and lots of TC artists stopping by to donate stuff for the Mariepalooza.

Jeff(btd)

bump for tonight.
come recover from the Holiday weekend, and the Mariepalooza.
you know you need a drink or 2 to get ready for the work week.
:wink:

Jeff(btd)

A lot of Tiki Action been going on the last few weeks, but I think its time for a good old classic
TC night at Don's this Monday night!

Who is up for it?

I'm up for it, and will probably head down there after work, around 7:30 or 8.

Brent

I'm leavin' in a few minutes.

Jeff(btd)

Nice talking with some of you last night.

Sorry about the earthquake when the three VooDoo skulls came together. :wink:

Good times.

And not one person had a camera. :D

not sure about real cameras, but plenty o people have I-phones with cameras,
oh wait, I saw Hinano Paul takin a Pic of Soccer tiki sticking his tongue out(shocking I know)
Maybe he can post that.

not sure why people aren't really into documenting the night in photos.
but it doesn't seem to be the thing that is in the front of everybody's mind.
:o

Jeff(btd)

Something about living in the moment makes you forget to document those times for future posterity
But we still have our memories,though covered in an alcohol induced haze.

Yes good times indeed.......

I should be there by 5pm.

I'm bringing a camera. :)

John,

good to hear you are comin to Dons tomorrow.
you might find that some of us are like Vampires and don't show up on film
:wink:

Jeff(btd)

edited for spelling.

I Hate It When They Ain't Been Shaved!

We are gearing up and planning on a rendezvous!

Oh Myyyyyy

and I will shave just for you Lance.
:wink:

Jeff(btd)

Photographic evidence that Mon TC nights at Don's do happen !! :)

Tiki royalty was in the house with Leroy and Bob of Oceanic Arts (but they disappeared before I could
get their picture :( ).

The cabinet holding everyone's personal Tiki mugs is in the background- "Don's Ohana".

Is that Mr. Fez-O-Rama ??

Great to finally meet Mr. and Mrs. Atomic Tiki Punk. They both lived up to my high expectations !!

Did you know there are secret underground rooms beneath Don's ?? I believe they date back to
prohibition. BigTikiDude is lobbying to move in there.

I heard that Marie might make a visit next Mon. I hope it's true. :)

Great to meet you face to face John-O! it was about time!

And as is always the case, despite being there for almost the entire evening, I'm not in a single picture...

I will vouch for Doctor Z,yes he was there, good to talk to you,Buddy!
he may be one of those Vampires that don't show up on film.

wait a Minute, you were there Dr.Z ?
I was there from 6 to 11:30,
and never saw you.
:wink:

actually Z and Sabu and I were out in the parking lot talking for over a half hour trying to sober up.

John O, thanks for the pictures I think.
Fun only happens when its documented in pics right?
ha ha ha.

It was a cool surprise to see Bob and Leeroy, and their familys and friends.
they bought about 20 of us a round of Drinks. Too friggin cool.
and then Crazy Al led us all in a round oh Hip Hip Hoorays for Bob and Leeroy

Oh and Sabu and I had a giant tiki mug war with Our Tiki Oasis 9, vs Hukilau #? mugs, he won, but his mug was weighted down with a half full drink in it.

Good times indeed.
Jeff(Btd)

I was by today for a late-lunch at the Dagger Bar with my buddy. (We thought Happy Hour all day meant all day, but....) We had a chance to take a gander at all of the great mugs, talk to the bar tender, and I was able to recognize quite a few names in the case. I will have to swing by (when the cash flo situation settles down) and get a chance to meet many of you all.
