This certainly was our biggest and best Parking Lot Sale to date. Right at 2pm we had a good size crowd. By 4pm, the place was jumping and it stayed that way through the final set of the Lee Vilensky Trio!! A huge thanks to the vendors, some of whom traveled a great distance just to be there, for making this all possible. The selection of goods was mind-blowing and seeing "sold" signs on all these wonderful pieces was heart warming! Mahalo to all who made it out there and a huge thanks to my managers and staff, who effortlessly quenched the thirst of the masses, without even breaking a sweat! Here are some pics: The FI parking lot gets transformed The King gave us all his blessing So cute!! And that Tiki Bob doll aint bad either! The Taco Truck arrives! One of Jungle Trader's fabulous pieces leaves the building "And here's one of.."

Thanks for putting on a great event - again and again! And I think Bill was actually probably showing either pictures of the party the night before (which you would have been in :)) or the TV warehouse sale. Either way, he is our resident documentarian of all of the great things going on in the Bay Area and elsewhere! :) [ Edited by: Coco Loco 2009-09-28 13:18 ]

MH Mr. Ho Tiki Socialite Boston, MA Joined: Oct 09, 2005 Posts: 490	MH Mr. Ho Posted posted on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 11:32 PM Hi, Just wanted to say I had a nice time at the event, out from Boston! great timing that it happened while I was in San Fran. Great to see Humu, and meet bongo fury in his hut, see Otto again, and meet Mai Tai (can I be invited to some of those crawls!?) Suzanne, I did a double take seeing you out there! The only wish here is that the full menu was available; I finally got out there to FI, and it was super limited on the drinkos. Next time I suppose. saludos! Mr. Ho

B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 6:15 PM Big Mahalos to Michael who treated me like visiting royalty, the Forbidden Island staff...Suzanne for the extra special fall drinks (loved the one with the pineapple falernum) the crazy bowl drink with the huge flame, the off-the-menu swizzle and many more. Somehow I ended all 5 nights at FI. Thanks to all that came by and said hello and bought Okolehao's Black Velvets and some of my stuff, and my little brother "Hurricane" Vic. Special thanks to Mai Tai & Coco Loco who put me up for a few days and helped me put on a few pounds at all the local diners. The food & drinks at the Conga Lounge were great. It was really nice to meet all the Northern California Ohana that I had not met at other events plus the good folks from Wisconsin. Great food, great drinks, great people. Ray, Michelle, Scott, Brenda, Chad, Jenny, Mel, Ron, Jen, Bill, Maria, Caroline, Rob, Doug, Stacey, Will, and.....and..... More thanks to Juan at Trader Vic's Palo Alto for the "extra" special cocktails. Also Pat at Judd's Hill and late night pie & burgers with Swamp Fire and Happy Chi.... I will try hard not to wait 15 years between visits and I will bring Mrs. Fury with me next time. Aloha!
