I certainlly hope its not a loop with McArthur Park on it.

You may think that sounds good, it's not. But, they have gottena a local DJ to make some Hawaiian CDs for them and they play those now.

As is The Jab's experience up north, it seems much more apparent in the restrooms here, too! -Weird Unc

Just tonight while I was sitting there I heard 4 different versions of The Hukilau song and sang to every one. I'll be posting tomorrow about an upcoming event that I'm hosting there.

I did receive a flaming Samoan Fogcutter compliments of Joel the bartender himself.
