Saturday might be a problem. On a related note, I found this really great old guide to San Diego with the Bali Hai on the cover. This thing is full of great stuff including tons of tiki references. I'll upload more when I have time. Here's the cover: ModMana :drink: [ Edited by: modmana on 2004-01-26 15:30 ]

"Mean" is right! When we were there after Thanksgiving, someone ordered the whole table a round (Ona Tiki - was that you?), but they were mixed really poorly, I'm sorry to say - they tasted like gasoline! Always appreciative of free booze, I drank mine down, but just barely. Then other folks started slipping their nasty concoctions my way, pawning them off on me to make it look like I was the one who couldn't/wouldn't drink his. (Ahhh... what are friends for, right?) Now I know that the Bali Hai can mix a decent Mai Tai - I've had a few there in my time - but for your own sake, I'd check first to make sure that the $1.75 ones don't taste like nuclear waste before ordering a bunch!

I will, however be in San Diego from Monday the 2nd until the 4th. If anyone survives $1.75 night, it'd be swell to meet up somewhere for more tippling.

Fridays are good for me...7PM is great, just need to know the time... The ad that Al posted says the special is only running in January so it has to be this week or else...pay full price. I don't mind paying full price but they really do taste better when you pay less.
O OnaTiki Member San Diego, CA Joined: Nov 24, 2003 Posts: 409	O OnaTiki Posted posted on Tue, Jan 27, 2004 5:15 PM Yep, the round of "gasoline Mai Tai's" came from us. Figured that was the best way to introduce ourselves. Although the waiter was pretty entertained when we told him that the table had to own up to their TC names before he could hand over the drinks. I think Tiki Bong & Humuhumu were his favorites.

I already had 2 good Mai Tais at Tom Ham's happy hour, and a Goof Punch at the Bali Hai so the "gasoline" Mai Tai went down easy! Thanks!

M ModMana Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Sep 05, 2002 Posts: 263	M ModMana Posted posted on Thu, Jan 29, 2004 7:13 PM Not sure we'll be able to make this after all. Mrs. ModMana has relatives coming into town Friday morning. Unfortunately they're not the type that we can just drag along with us. We'll do our best to be there but chances are only about 50/50 right now. Either way, we hope to see all the San Diego TCers again very soon. ModMana :drink:
M ModMana Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Sep 05, 2002 Posts: 263	M ModMana Posted posted on Fri, Jan 30, 2004 12:57 AM Disregard my last post. After some deliberation, we decided that we will be there after all (sorry to go back and forth like that). It's been a tough couple of weeks and we could really use a good strong Mai Tai. Since no one expressed any objection, I'm assuming that Friday 1/30 (tonight) at 7PM is OK. Not sure how many others are committed but we'll be there (even if it's just us). I'd be happy to make a reservation if I could get an accurate head count, or we could just show up and see what happens. Here's the list as it looks from previous posts: Alnshely? Monkeyman Shipwreckjoey thegarz Onatiki Bamboo Bob? ModMana Any Others? Weird Unc, sorry you can't make it. We'd love to hang out but unfortunately we're out of town all next week. Enjoy SD! Ran & Dale, I hope we'll see you again next time.

M ModMana Tiki Socialite San Diego, CA Joined: Sep 05, 2002 Posts: 263	M ModMana Posted posted on Sun, Feb 1, 2004 1:48 AM Well, there was a lighter than expected turnout for this "event". However, the OnaTikis did join up with us for a most excellent evening of drinks and dining. Thanks again you two for a fun night. We were half looking over our shoulders a good part of the evening expecting to see more TCers straggling in. I hope we didn't miss anyone. Oh, the $1.75 MaiTais were better than I remembered and well worth the price! This event was extremely loosely organized and I suppose that explains the low show (sorry about that). We'll do better next time...cheers! ModMana :drink:
