Congratulations for the best damn Tiki Bar in California!! 1)because I was drunk that night, I thought we both agreed it was better left forgotten. I mean, it was fun and all, but we both have wives, and just because something feels good, doesn't mean it's right. actually, no.

That being said, here is the website link for Alameda Magazine. It is probably possible to order a copy directly through them via phone or internet. MM, if this lead proves unfruitful, pm me and I'll see what I can do. http://www.alamedamagazine.com/media/Alameda-Magazine/Contact-Us/

Also, If I didn't post it before, here's my review of Forbidden Island from the Tiki Crawl VI on Kaiserpenguin.com: http://www.kaiserpenguin.com/tiki-crawl-vi/ Honestly, I might move to Alameda just to be within stumbling distance of the Island.

It might be difficult to differentiate us from the regular crowd, since so many people wear vintage and tropical ware. However, she can ask the bartenders or Martin who the TC'ers are and we'd be happy to say Aloha.
