Thinking about you peeps at the Rumpus Room.

I can't make it tonight so have one for me! G

Eric, I picked up some orgeat as well, so we should be set for a while. I also got a bunch of little disposable shotglasses and a bottle of Chai Cola that looked like it might be a fun mixer to try.

We'll miss you TikiG. I'll drink yours this week and maybe you can drink one for me next week since I'm going on a week's vacation to Sedona to visit with family and will have to miss out on Rumpus Room. ):

Cool. I have some things to talk about regarding Sedona so we'll compare stories when you get back.

Well, it's a little after 6am. GROG guess GROG better hit the bed now. Left the Rumpus Room at 5:12 am, that's the latest GROG has left the Rumpus Room.

DANG! 5.12? AM?!?

Way to party like a caveman!

I guess your caveman sundial wristwatch doesn't work at night...

5:12!!!!
Man that party must have raged after I left :(
I swear this whole work in the morning thing is
really cramping my style! :evil:

Here's the photos from one of the latest Rumpus Room events I've heard of, but we were only there until slightly after 2am.

Marty Lush & I had a grand time as always.
The booze was flowing, conversation brewing, & the laughs were had by all.
I think I may have to sneak here every Wed even when the Lush can not attend :)
It was great reconnecting with the Nor Cal peeps!

I wouldn't miss it! Happy Birthday Polly! See you tonight!

Don't forget your lemons, limes & Ice :)
See you at the Bowl...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLLY! :)

It doesn't look like I'll be able to make it for the bowling, but will try to make it for the late-night Rumpus Room... with lemons, limes 'n ice in tow.

I can't make it this week, but I hope to be back soon. See you at Bamboo Bens this weekend.

Happy Birthday to Polly.

How did it get so late?

I swear the Rumpus Room exists outside of normal space/time.

Thanks again Kelly & Kirby -- and Happy Birthday Polly.

Now time for sleeeeeeeeep...

Happy Birthday Polly! So sorry we missed this - long days at work.

Happy Birthday Polly! So sorry we missed this - long days at work.

Here's some pics from Polly's bowling party and opening of the presents back at the Rumpus Room.

I'm back from Sedona and ready to Rumpus Room.

Sounds like Kelly may not make it, so I'll try to be there around 7pm to get the bar set up and keep it flowing.

I brought back some prickly pear syrup and picked up a bottle of anejo tequila the other day that makes some killer prickly margaritas.

I'll bring those.

If you could bring the following, it would be much appreciated:

ice
lemons & limes
club soda in little bottles
pineapple juice
Coruba dark rum
Tres Generaciones Sauza Anejo Tequila or another anejo of equal or better quality (my bottle will go fast I'm afraid but don't get blanco or Jose Cuervo Gold!)

See you soon!

Sounds wonderful Tom, sorry to
miss it.
Also pretty nice are:

Corralejo Rep or Añejo
Milagro
Gran Centenario 
7 Leguas
Don Julio

have fun!!

Sorry we missed you guys last night, hope fun was had by all who attended. Please post a pic or two if ya got 'em.

Missed you and Sherriyaki last night, Tonga Tom! Especially in the paparazzi department!

We had to rely on the camera in Manuel's phone. The quality's not bad, but no flash! Check out these very moodily lit pix!

Blacklight Trader Tom!

Serchin' fer booze!

Snappin' pix!

Illuminated liquor!

Lotsa latin-themed music for Cinco de Mayo!

Awesome new artwork on display!

Mojo, Rumpus Room dog!

Nice lowkey night at the Rumpus Room, but we got a sneak peek at the music video that was shot there, and tried some of Trader Tom's Prickly Pear Margaritas! Yum!

Some of the pix I snapped didn't come out! (Sorry Adrian!)

See you all next Wednesday!

Thanks for posting pics Eric! Looking forward to next week.

The Rumpus Room Cinco de Mayo Edition went well. Small group, but more margaritas for us!

We did drink some rum drinks as well, which brings me to my next reminder...

There were only a couple of ounces left of the regular and overproof Lemon Harts and of the Coruba Dark, which we promptly took care of. In light of the Lemon Hart discussion on another thread, perhaps we should try to stock up a little on it just in case the new owners decide they only want to make it available in Canada or that it would be economically advantageous to change the recipe to tiger's piss and turpentine...

I'll stop by Mission Liquors to look for the overproof especially, but if anybody else sees a bottle of either kind of Lemon Hart hanging around, snag it.

See you soon!

I picked up a bottle of the overproof Lemon Hart. If anyone can pick up the regular or the Coruba Dark for next week, it would be appreciated.

Don't forget! Lemons, limes, ice, maybe we will have o take tips & really stock up on Lemon Harts? We can do it !
See you all there. I believe we are having visitors too. Should be a fun night!

The boss is in town so it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it tonight. Bummahs :(

Misha & I will be making the trek out the fabulous Rumpus Room tonight!
I've got a nice collection of lemons & limes, a 20 lb. bag of ice as well as some rare Cuban mint slated for the Rumpus Room Gardens.
(the mint needs to grow before we can use it, though)

Will be bringing some snacks & TIPS too!

Lookin like I'll making the trek out there too. See ya all there. I'll be bringing some limes and such.

I'll bring some ready-to-use mint from the garden.
Got some of those "Four Cheese Cheez-its" too...I had a special request.

I will be there as well. I will bring some pineapple juice and whatever else looks good.

We're bringing some Lemonhart (unleaded, Trader Tom already picked up the 151!) and some Cruzan single barrel for some of those awesome Contraband Mai Tais Kelly makes!

bringing 6 limes, 2 friends, and LemonHart!!! :wink:

I'd like to say thank you to everyone for such a great warm welcome for my first visit! I had a great time last night! I look forward to my next visit. :)

Last night I was on a solo mission. There was a slew of newcomers to the Rumpus Room including; lilusako, RoseRed, Bobby and Lili, as well as another couple who were leaving with their youngins right after I arrived. I'm pretty sure I took a shower before I left the house though. Good news for Kirby, but bad for me, my favorite painting of his sold at Ben's Garage Sale the other week...Congrats Kirby! You can see some of the RR crew checking out some of his new paintings here. Also, congrats to Trader Tom on his upcoming graduation, check out his card Eric made for him. Speaking of Tom, he and Kahuna Kent wore the same shirt last night...how embarrassing. Well, not as embarrassing as one photo I took of the two of 'em, but I told Kent I wouldn't post it here. It's too bad I didn't get everyone in the group shot this week. As always, Kelly & Tom...your drinks are AMAZING! Lots of new and successful experimenting this week. Oh yeah, GROG you left your hat behind on a mask. Hope to see more new and old faces next week!

Aloha!
What a fun night night at Kirby & Polly's Rumpus Room! It was a pleasure to have new visitors, Jocelyn so nice to meet you glad we had time at the end of the night to just sit and chat. Ikabod & family our first visitor from Eye of the Cult down from Ventura happy to have you. Rose, Bobby & Lilly fun to visit outside of the Tonga Hut.
Thanks for all the Lemon Hart kids, we will make it another week after all.
Dean your handsome, Carri (Bewitched by Tiki) what a doll, wish I saw you more often what fun, thank you for all you do to help out the R. R. You always go far beyond what is expected and your awesome. Woah, can't forget our new friends Mike & Misha cause their names sound like a title for a romance comedy movie and they are good people, here's to you Capt. Kent & Trader Tom it was fun to view the photo of you fondling each other in matching shirts :wink: Tonga Tom thanks for being tall and taking great photos, Sherri we missed you girl. Murph where are you! Thank you everyone for the booze, lemons & limes, mixers, supplies, squeezing. Grog you are loved so much thank you for everything to much to mention here but you know xoxo! Jim we love it more when there's no Tikiyaki practice we have a longer time to visit with you. Eric & Manuel, thanks for being our Barbacks, DJ's, dishwashers, Artists at large we could not pull it off without you!
One of my dearest friends DR. Trader Tom Morgan, my mentor, my male muse, guiding spirit, source of inspiration to whom I have learned so much. You may now conduct brain surgery Dr. ( ok so he's not that kind of Dr.) We did manage to kick out one new drink last night, and we have not done that together in a while well, maybe 3 drinks if you include the "Pour this down the bathroom drain" and the "Throw this out on the lawn" we need a bar sink.
We can't do a damn thing without Kirby & Polly who without a doubt must have the most successful home bar on a weekly basis of all time. Not to mention if we were a real bar we would be having $600-1200 nights. Thank You!
Which brings me to my point, the Rumpus Room is a year old when are we going to spruce up the back yard and have a huge indoor outdoor Rumpus Room Anniversary party! ????
