T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Wed, Nov 29, 2006 12:57 PM Please join myself, several other Tiki Central members and local ohana on the actual 50th Anniversary date of the Mai Kai - December 28, 1956 - as we celebrate with cocktails, dinner and Molokai after hours on December 28, 2006. I'm hoping there's enough of us to fill the section just in front of the stage. Those that are planning to make it please comment so we can get an accurate head count as I'm going to add everyone to my reservation so no need to make your own. Everyone is to show up at 6:30pm!

Seeing Mrs. Thorton up on stage telling her "how I became a Mai-Kai dancer" story was also terrific. Seeing Kern walking around in his custom Bamboo Ben Mai-Kai 50th Anniversary jacket was priceless! What a terrific time we had. Thank you Christie for all that you do to bring us all together and for helping us to appreciate the wonder that is the Mai-Kai all the more! Pictures... let's see, who had a camera? Karbora, Chip & Andy, whoever else, let's see 'em! We (duh) forgot our camera yet again.

It was really great to see people again, especially Savannah and Elizabeth. Meeting Loki's German family members was a hoot..such nice, fun people!! Must run in the genes :) The stories about Mai Kai's early days were delightful. What a wonderful institution. Thanks for sharing those memories with us! Heading back to Mai Kai for drinks in the bar this evening then home tomorrow. Once I get home and download the pics I will post some if they turn out decently. Happy New Years, everyone! SBT/Noel
