We did have 3 new visitors to Rumpus Room, and Misha looked totally precious in her St. Patty's day outfit with the cute hat.

And, thanks Kelly, for serving up the delicious drinks.

Get better soon Tiki-Kate.

Is the Rumpus Room open to all Tiki Central members or do you need to have a double chin? Either way I'm covered but thought I'd check first. :lol:

Kirby -

Holy Cripes - that juicer looks KICK-ARSE!

Can't make it this Wednesday - but I'll be there on the 31st for sure to see the juicer in action :)

Take Care all. G

i was getting stoked reading this as i was thinking g wants to be there when i am. nope, he can't wait til see da freakin' juicer! mahalo brah!

:lol:

When I said I wanted to see "The Juicer" in action...I WAS talkin' 'bout you!!

Seriously Kings...can't wait to get back to the Rumpus Room...AND

continue from where we left off last August, what? G

Yes, that juicer is the bomb. I have an old vintage one, identical design. I tested it against 2 other electric juicers--hands down it is the best. At another house, we have 2 orange trees and it pounds out the juice. Mighty fine purchase!

T

Hey Kelly!

The guilty angels have plucked Lemon Hart 151 from the ether and have entrusted a bottle to us for delivery to the Rumpus Room this Wednesday.

We'll also be bringing some Real Coco squeeze.

We have some home made sweet and sour, plus a new sundried tomato syrup to for experimenting!

Yeah, that juicer looks like it will make short work of any citrus fruit!

Looking forward to another visit from the King this week, too!

i'm only k'den, sistah. i can't wait to visit da socal ohana for a few days.

Forget simple syrup, Kelly. I'm gonna make two bottles of Gomme Syrup -- one for you and one for the Rumpus Room. They lost my package of gum arabic in the mail and I've had to wait an extra four weeks but the replacement shipment arrived today. Now we can see if that silky smooth texture is as good as I've been hearing it is. As always, I'll bring some odds and ends as well. See you all soon.

We'll bring the stoli and I think we have a small new cutting board - I'll check when I get home. What about ice?

Wow!! Thank you Kirby and Polly!!

I had a really good time at the Rumpus Room last night - probably too good a time since I'm moving slowly this morning and don't remember much. I know there were some excellent drinks courtesy of Hiphipahula and Trader Tom :D I also remember I was talking too much toward the end and that at some point GROG and I decided that Summer Glau was Tiki and if you didn't agree with us we'd be upset. :lol:

mmmmmm, summer glau! i hope you're recovered enough by next wed to come do it again, boris.

Me too!

Last night was a perfect way to shake off a very stressful day.

Glad to be back at the Rumpus Room. Kelly and Tom were tickling our taste buds with some new and amazing concoctions, I hope someone was writing them down. Thanks to Eric, Kent, and anyone else who used my camera to help grab images of the fun times we had last night. Can't wait to see you all again on Sunday at Tonga Hut for the Art Show and The Hula Girls!

I gotta admit, having Boris at the R. R. was a total blast! Hope you come back again soon :)

Thanks R. R. Clan as always & Thanks Kirby & Polly for allowing us to throw the best parties every week!

Tonight's R. R. I'll be there how bout you? I'm in need of some R&R...

I know we are in need of:

ICE
Lemons & Limes
Kerns Necters
Small bottles of Gingerale & Club Soda
12 oz Plastic clear cups
Paper Towels & TP

Now, if we could just get Summer Glau to the Rumpus Room, things would be great!

GROG posted on Thu, Apr 1, 2010 9:47 AM

We had 20 people or so at the Rumpus Room last night! Busy night at the Rumpus Room. It was fun.

No Summer Glau, though. No Tobunga and Manuel either. Where were you guys?

And GROG figured Trader Tom would be there to celebrate getting his Doctorate a couple of days ago.(Congrats Doctor Tom). Maybe Dr. Tom had enough drinking the day before taste-testing at the Tonga Hut.

Thanks Kelly for mixing up the great drinks.

Here's the photos from last night...

Dang! Manuel and I are sorry we missed last night! Heard Tonga Tom finally brought his tripod and everything! Looks like we missed out the return of Bullet, Sooner, Dean and Claudia!
Plus is that A-Frame lurking about in the background?

And pink bunny peeps!

See you all next week, though!

woohoo! big fun at the rumpus room! i had a great time hanging out wed night. i made some new friends like tyler, murph, dean & claudia, tom & sherry, kent, etc, etc, and got to catch up with old friends like kirby, polly, tikig, mel, grog, hiphipahula, jim. it's only the second time i've hung out with sooner, but believe me, it's been a memorable event both times! mahalo braddah!
and a special shout out to grog for inviting me down and giving me a rock at the cave. i had a blast and hope i've earned a return visit some time.
kirby, it was really great hanging for a few hours on saturday. polly, thanks for bringing us lunch too!

Nice Kirby I love the Rumpus Room. Looks like a great time.

TikiG posted on Mon, Apr 5, 2010 11:16 AM

Kirby, Polly and Tyler always host a great evening at the Rumpus Room, and last Wednesday was no exception (Thanks to the Fleming family and a special nod to Kelly 'Hiphipahula' for the drinks :)) Besides the usual cast of characters firmly entrenched at the Rumpus Room every Wednesday evening, I was stoked that Kingstiedye himself made the pilgrimage south because I brought a surprise especially for him.

Knowing that Kingstiedye is in-process of creating and decorating his home tiki "Pupule Hut", I thought it would be a kick to present a gift to him - a custom TikiG painting that somehow captures the spirit of Kingtiedye's love and passion for modern tiki-mugs.

Over the course of three evenings I painted "Kane's Magical Garden." This Hawaiian scene features Kane (left) during a moment of tiki-mug creation. On the right there are six of some of Kingstiedye's favorite modern tiki-mugs "rising" up out of the ground...Tiki Tony's Pupu, Crazy Al's Tiki King, Bosko's Cook Island Fisherman's God, Munktiki's Frankenskull, Tiki Diablo's Tambu and Gecko's Augie Colon. Also depicted is a sandy beach with ocean waves, active volcano in background, lush plants and mountains - all painted in various shades of blue, purple, green and Earth-tone.

So I presented Kingstiedye with my painting. I'm proud to say he loves it!

Thanks to Melekilikimaka for the next photo...a rare :wink: pic of the Filipino/Hawaiian contingent at Kirby's Rumpus Room.

That's all the pics I can share this time...the rest came up blurry!!

Take Care all and I'll see everyone again soon. Aloha! G

I'm staying home sick with a sore throat tonight. That makes two in a row I'm missing! I'm gonna be really thirsty next week!!!

TT

Sorry that we missed everyone last night at the Rumpus Room. Did anyone take pics?
We were unfortunately stuck at The Beachcomber Cafe in Crystal Cove for Sherriyaki's Mom's birthday...I know, so sad. I do recommend getting reservations on-line if you decide to go. BTW- I am wearing a Tikiyaki shirt (that's the red peaking through). Can't wait to see you all next week. We might even drag my Mom along since she will be in town.

Here's drink number one...

And, drinks number two...

I need to find a way to make it up for one of these things.. it looks like a great time.
