SUIT UP!

My understanding is you may wear tiki attire for the evening but please no flip-flops, athletic shoes, shorts. Slacks and dresses would be more appropriate indeed. Yes, dress your finest.
Gosh ATP I thought you said shut up. :)

Schedules permitting, we will be there.

Only my best Sunday dress for you, Kelly!

I can't wait for this; it should be a fun night!

I'm looking forward to enjoying Hiphipahula cocktails in the beautiful setting of La Descarga.

If people need to grab a bite before/after the event, there's a very casual and rather good option for Mexican food right next door with "Tacos El Patio" (be forewarned, Tacos El Patio is 'cash only').

Tantalizing...

Wish I could be there, what a great venue for your craft, Kelly! :)

Kelly,
Wish I could be there. I'm sure you'll knock their socks off.

I'll be missing you Sven & Brenda! See you soon and safe travels to both of you!!

So wish we could be there. You will be awesome. Have fun and a great night.

I will miss you Jeff & Gwen, thanks for keeping me in your thoughts all the way from Texas! Tiki Oasis right? Xo

I can't figure out if I already wished you a good night of cocktail crafting on your FB or not so I thought I would do it here as well :)

Hope you have a great night and the turn out is high for you tomorow, Kelly!

Thank You Liz! Hope to see you in L.A. Soon! :)

Kelly, have fun tonight! Wish I could be there. I'll be raising one in your honor tonight wishing it had been mixed by you. Cheers!

Have fun guys! I hope it goes well, I am sure it will. I wish I could be there!

Congratulations Kelly! Your cocktails were a great match for the atmosphere of La Descarga. By my unofficial estimation a fantastic time was had by all of us well-dressed tikiphiles.

Well done. We should all do it again sometime!

Sorry GROG not make it. Stomach bug kept GROG from leaving cave. Hopefully Hiphipahula do it again.

Thanks! Kelly....you worked your ass off last night & we appreciate it
sublime cocktails & great company all around, Even got to meet a couple of new (to me) folks.

So what's on for tonight? :lol:

Thank you friends for coming out to La Descarga to share Tiki Tuesday with me. It was a wonderful experience being able to share my craft with all of you my friends, old and new. You traveled far, took time from your families and came out on a work night to support friendship and our love for Polynesian-Pop culture/Tiki and Craft Cocktails in which we are bound together. Tiki Night, Tiki Bartender, Tiki People will come! Was that a movie? And YOU did! La Descarga was very pleased and thanks you as well. I will be back! Thank You Most Graciously, Kelly

What a wonderful night. Grog, we missed you and hope you are feeling better.
It was nice to be properly introduced to people we've seen through the years.
Congrats Kelly - you brought a beautiful night together. We look forward to the next one.

Pulled a few shots off the phone, Had to go all out in Photoshop
to make them visible, it was very dark at La Descarga.

Doug, Nancy & Al trouble makers all!

Prohibition Al & Doug....

Sure I "look" like a nice guy, but you all know better, Nancy got all the nice for the both of us.

HT

Your picture ATP and Nancy is great, your outfit was in style, but the bell bottom pants really set it off.
