I'm very glad I got a chance to meet Exoticat & woofmutt before I left Seattle. I was so happy to have Modkitty join us, too; I really hope she joins TC. It was a fun crowd, I'm sad I'll be missing future Seattle events, but it makes me so glad to know that at last a group has formed! Now, this is very important -- there MUST be a joining of the Seattle & Portland groups. If everyone could make it, it would be a pretty good-sized gathering, and I know you'd all like each other a lot. Boy, if you could attract some of the BC people down, you'd have something to rival the Hoiti Toiti contingent. WORLD TIKI DOMINATION!! Okay, now what you really want... the pics. Our meeting place, 'Ohana Selector Lopaka, puamana & James Teitelbaum Me on the left (proudly wearing my Purple Jade earrings, which got lots of raves that night), darlin' sweetpea on the right. During our before-dinner drinks, sweetpea happened to get a phone call from mig, who was quite confused & surprised when the phone got passed to James & Humuhumu! Gramps, Exoticat and Modkitty Our special guest of the evening, James Teitelbaum, all the way from Chicago. (Hey, does that mean last night was a National Event?) woofmutt & Selector Lopaka After 'Ohana, some people had to head home, but James, woofmutt & I made our way to the Islander... only to find out it was closed! (Guess that means this place has something in common with Sam's Seafood.) They were kind enough to let us take a look around, but no drinks here for us. Tiki at the Islander After that, James & I popped into the nearby Lava Lounge for a beer (we'd swung by before 'Ohana to get a quick look). It's funny, I've been in here for beers plenty of times, but I think it's always been way too crowded for me to get a good look. It's no tiki bar, to be sure, but there was a fair number of interesting tikis in there. James spotted this Tiki Bob mug on a shelf behind the bar, and the bartender let us play with it for a while. We also saw a funny little ceramic Kon Tiki cup behind the bar, and we couldn't quite figure out what it would have been used for; it was like a coffee cup, only handleless and smaller. James got a pic, I'm sure he'll post it after his pics have had a chance to "cure" in his camera. Lava Lounge entrance
