Y'all ready for a West Coast Invasion? I'm flying to Atlanta just for this event... I had such an amazing time when I was at July's Tiki Torch Nights, and I can't wait to go back. It's gonna be a blast with Otto there, too!

I can practically taste the hungover-Sunday-morning biscuits now....

Count me in as well. Missed the last one 'cause of Thanksgiving travel, and I'm running out of Navy Grog mix!
Why, I've almost forgotten what Monkey Zuma's finger smells like...

I wish we could make it but with finals it does not look good for us. However, just wanted to "warn" you that the AAA (American Anthropological Association) annual meeting is going to be in the HIlton the same weekend. It should be a great time with a nice mix of tiki folk and anthropologists. Have a great time!

Lots of us are getting together for dinner on Friday. If anyone is interested in joining us let me know!

Sadly, I can't make it for this after all... I've got a few things keeping me in town this weekend. I'm going to try to not think too much about what I'm missing out on!

Well, Saturday night's T.T.N. was a blast! Thank you Kiliki for the rockabilly disc, and for another awesome event at Vic's. I hate that we had to cut out early, but that's just how it is when you've been...uh..."sick"...(Friday night was great tho' and we really enjoyed hanging out with you, Otto, Amy and her husband- just shoulda' skipped that last suffering bastard...). Great to see Terri & David on the way out too- congratulations to them on their engagement!
