Kirby's Rumpus Room 10yrs. & still going strong!

Val and I and a bottle of Barbancourt (and squeezed citrus) are in!

Kevin

Tikiyaki will be in da house!!

It's been a while since Manuel's and my schedule would allow a night at the Rumpus Room (we've been hitting the traveling versions, as our schedules would permit) ... so great to be back!

We had an awesome time tonight, and so nice to see tiki friends, old and new, especially those that came... what was it, hundreds of miles to attend?

Heading home in the rain made it all the more exotic and magical!

Mahalos to Kelly for the incredible cocktails, and Mahalos to Kirby for keeping the Rumpus Room going!

Glad to hear it was a great time last night, we're sorry to have missed it. Wish I could have been there to capture the memory.
I've been trying to catch up on work this week, and it's stealing all my time.

Agreed, a great time with great people at the Rumpus Room! Thanks as always to Kirby for the hospitality. And thanks for a killer Rum Barrel Kelly. I was really glad Val offered to drive.

You and Sherriyaki were missed Tom. It forces one to ask an existential question: if there's a Rumpus Room and no group shot, did it really happen? :)

Mahalo!

kevin

Good Times as usual at the Rumpus Room !

Traveling Rumpus Room at GROG' cave this week.

PM GROG or HipHipaHula for address.

Mucho mahalos to Grog for having us in the cave for Rumpus Room last night! I know it's a fun evening if I'm tired the next day. :)

I'm sorry that I missed out on the Rumpus Room field trip to Grog's place last night; I was hoping to finish work in time to make it out.
I hope everyone had a great time!

This flower wilted before she could make it to her first Rumpus Room... One of these days, somehow, somewhere... Until then all the mice will have to play without me.

Poor Little Buttercup, I hope and wish you will make it to the Rumpus Room soon :blush: :drink:

Thank You Grog for having us over to your place it was good fun and wow! you have some incredible new art since I was last at your place! I enjoyed myself terrifically, thank you again Ernie :)

Thanks to all that came to GROG Traveling Rumpus Room, and BIG thank you Kelly, Heylownine, and Geedavey for bringing drinks, and everybody that brought snacks.

Rumpus Room

Hey, I miss you guys too!

I don't think we're going to make Oasis this year. However, we will be making trips to So Cal in the near future. Ilene wants to make a road trip down the coast and take Joseph to Disneyland at some point in the next 6 months. I'll be sure and let you guys know.

I've been trying to keep my cocktail lab experiments going, but I miss having all you expert tasters around me.

Here's a cocktail that I was playing with the other day:

Huckleberry Hoodoo

1 juiced lime
1/2 oz Torani Huckleberry Syrup
1 oz Cruzan Coconut Light Rum
1 oz Kronan
1 1/2 oz Ruby Port
A big handful of crushed ice

Enjoy rumpusing!

Yea!!!!!
Rumpus Room tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear Tom call us before you come to Ca. and we will have a RR field trip to Disneyland or Trader Sam's! If I have a moment today I will pick up some Huckleberry and make your cocktail if not tonight next meeting! This was easier when you lived closer :) Miss you love to Ilene & Trader Joe.
