We had out-of-town TC visitors last night ?? You guys should have gotten into the group picture.

Sorry for not introducing myself. :( I was curious about the unfamiliar faces sporting "colors".

I am so shy (or rude).

TT

Here's some pics from last night. Great drinks, great company, great time!

Erik gets his last drink and his "Buck Off" token!

Erik scooches down and Kelly climbs up a ladder to adorn him with his token

"I'm a bastard!"
"Now you're one of us!"

It's a surprise visit from Audrey! She likes them "bastards"

Scott and John can't believe their eyes

Marty Lush is back in the Hut!

Sam says..."Don't take any more photos of me, or I'm flipping the bird."

Last night's group shot...Klockwork aka Kurt and his wife Tami are behind JOHN-O, I guess he didn't see them in the group shout because he was in the front :wink: You can see a larger version of this photo here: http://tongatom.blogspot.com/2011/06/tonga-hut-2262011.html (just click on the pic to make it bigger).

BASTARDS!!!

Matango Derek and Erin from Pittsburg

Work has finally released its chokehold on me so expect to see more of us at the TH soon. We miss you guys!

Now that I see Tom's photo, me & the Mrs. saw Matango Derek and Erin at Trader Vic's last Saturday. Wish we'd known they were TC Ohana.

Thank You everyone for coming out, we missed some late arrivals in our group shot this week but thank you Out-Of- Towners! Wonderful to spend time with you. Derek & Erin also informed me that the Tonga Hut was mentioned in LAX Magazine as one of L.A.'s Best Bars!! They are going to get the Hut a copy to save....who knew :) Thanks guys...

Congratulations to Jeremy, Kelly, and the Tonga Hut !!!

THE best bar in Los Angeles...

I'm looking forward to visiting the Tonga Hut in my brief time (3 days) in LA after Oasis... Unfortunately it won't be a Fri-Sat-Sun so Hiphipahula won't be able to mix me one of her amazing creations that i've read about???

Now that's just tragic. :cry:

Even though we'll miss Kelly while she's at home taking care of her foot, Tonga Hut will be having some drink specials for those daring enough to make it out during "Carmageddon".
$5 Mai Tais, $3 well drinks, and $2 domestic beers all day and all night on Friday & Saturday (July 16th & 17th)!

YAY HAPPY HOUR ALL DAY & NIGHT!!!!!!!!!

See you all tonight :drink:

Heard Kelly is not in tonight so on to the TI

T

Uh-oh... from Carmageddon to Catas-toe-phy!

We'll raise a toast Kelly's toes and a speedy recovery... those Hiphipahula libations ain't gonna mix themselves!

See everybody tonight... I'm on a new work schedule (yay! no more 4am fer me!), so we can stay out a bit later than usual!

Great time at TH tonight. Lots of new to Exotica Sunday friends in tha Hut.
We totally missed you Kelly, no Shaka Hulas tonight. :( ...But we did have a few TH Navy Grogs...damn good stuff!!!
Thank you Jeremy for supplying pizza for the bar, you rule! I think it might have been dusted in under 15 minutes.
Happy Birthday to Bobby who showed up with his ever flowing posse tonight.
There were at least 6 Bastards including Rock Star Neal (with the lovely Kira) in attendance tonight.
Great to see TC regulars Eric, Manuel, Erik, Scott, Russ...and possibly more, sorry if I forgot.
HipHip & Marty...Get well soon!!!
Sorry, no pix tonight...I was having too much of a good time! :)

Missed you all, thanks for the best wishes, I'm doing good, getting around slowly but making good progress see you all this weekend!

Get better Kelly!!
Super sad the 1 weekend I could go you were not there!
I will have to finagle my time when you are better!
Please get better soon :(
