I'm back, with some sad news

Hi there all -- it's been a looong time. I've missed TC.

Sadly, Mr. Humuhumu and I are parting ways. It's about as amicable as it could be, but it's still very hard, feelings are hurt, and it's sad.

Here's the part you all aren't going to like -- he's keeping the house, and thus, The Humuhumu Room.

The Humuhumu Room will stay intact for the time being. I'm working out how to recreate a miniature version in my new apartment (Inky Louise, you're my inspiration on this front).

With my new found freedom, I can now venture happily (although brokely) to the TC Crawl this weekend! I've just purchased my plane tickets.

Since it's been so long, I have a lot of reading to catch up on here (and no computer at home to do it! it's going to take forever). If some kind soul would be willing to give me the full scoop via email on the Crawl (where, when, transport, etc.), I would be eternally grateful.

Also, my reservations in June for the Hukilau were for two double beds, if someone would like to room with me & save some $$, email me and let me know.

When my computer gets up & running again, I'll post some of the tiki pics I've been taking over the past few weeks.

oh my gosh! I wuz wondering were you went?!?

I'm so sorry for your situation and I;m bummed about the humuhumu room....

but i think I might take you up on the Mai Kai trip!!! I'll check the air fare and let you know. ink

Humuhumu, I'm very glad you're coming to the Crawl--I'm sure we will all do our best to cheer you up REALLY THOROUGHLY 8)

Sounds like if you've already contacted Martin, you're well on your way to having all the info you need.

I'm so sorry about your breakup--I've only been single since last summer myself, for the first time in almost six years. But perhaps creating a new Humuhumu Room for yourself will be a wonderful, healing experience--I don't doubt it, personally. Can't wait to see what you put together!

And I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Crawl!

very sorry to hear about your break up. Coming from a yo yo relationship I know this is just a horrible time but it always nice to have a support group and if TC is anything its just that. glad that your back though. best wishes :)

Sorry to here about the split, hang in there kiddo.

Good to have you back. I can't wait to see what you come up with for your new Tiki bar. Good luck to you.
Mahalo,
Al

Sorry Humu....I know how it hurts. You are a beautiful woman- there's nothing as refreshing as a blank canvas, and us guys are a dime a dozen. Hang in there...And you always have a bar you can hang out at when you're in our neck of the woods.

We'll see to it that you forget all about ol' what's-his-name. No, I really mean forget. I mean permanent alcohol-induced brain damage.

Our pleasure.

With a Tiki beside you, you will never be alone.

Ms. Humu- Always sorry to hear news like this. But, atleast you have a large family network here at TC.
Not knowing the situation, I say, "Whoo-hoo! A fresh start! Good for you!"

Since I will not make it to the crawl from my frozen tundra, someone please buy Humu a drink for me and put it on my tab.

Glad you're back. Best of luck.

I found this fabric on Ebay - I promised myself I'd stop buying stuff (otherwise I ouwld) but maybe you could find somme use for it in the new Humuhumu room?

Humuhumu,
I'm sorry to hear about the split. I wish you the best during this tough time. But things always happen for a reason--and that reason is for Inky and me to be your roommates at Hukilau! You would be our savior with a room. And we would be great company for each other! What do you ladies think? We are already TC friends. Three of us would make it cheaper. Inky--we gotta go now!!! I'm already planning on having a frequent flyer ticket on Northwest to use.
Humu. have a blast at the crawl!!!

PS that's a great fabric, tikifish. Humu. if you want it for the new and improved Humu. Room, I not going to bet--but if you're not interested, let me know. mahalo. Tiki in a small apartment is a challenge--but you are so creative!
PSS are your kitties living with you in the new pad?

Thank you all so, so much. It feels so good to have a support network right now.

Inky & Manic Cat, you're on! The Hukilau will be a blast, and we will be big trouble.

Tikifish, thanks for the fabric find! I'm having to save my dough right now, and I don't know what I'm going to do for the new bar yet, so I'll take a pass, even though it's great fabric. Have at it Manic! I'm so glad I bought those tiki magnets, tikifish -- it's the only tiki in my new place so far.

---MR smiley adds: I hope you can make it to The Smiley Ugh House pre party after Trader Vic's this Friday at 9:15pm. Email me at for more info.---bruce

Humu,

Don't know you well but I wish you all the best in your new phase in life.

You'll be in good hands with Inky & Manic at the Hukilau. Who knows, maybe T and I will see you out there!

Sending you "good vibes and better tribes."

Humu,
I know we've never met socially (I'm an agoraphobic & rarely leave the bar) but I wish you well & know you're a strong woman who can get through this. So let's raise our mai tais high and drink to a better tomorrow filled with new freinds, old freinds, and tiki bars! and most importantly...DON'T LOSE YOUR ALOHA!!!
SWJ

Humuhumu+Manic,

We are sooo there! Russell is freaking out, cause he can't figure out what he's gonna wear. We'll have a bunch of trouble!

Sten, Doesn't T need to cover the events for the magazine? HEE HEE!

Inks

As I always like to say during a difficult time such as this.........NEXT!!!!!!

But seriously, my heart and good wishes go out to you. It's not really the end, it's a whole new beginning.........and time for a new tiki lover.

:wink:

You reading my mind, Inky!

We're tryin' to work something out. Any suggestions for luxury resorts in the area?
Shoot me a private email.

Don't worry Russell!
I'll pick up some nice little aloha shirts for you from Oahu! I know that I will be doing LOTS of hawaiiana clothing shopping there for the Hukilau.

Well gee, I can't imagine losing a Tiki Bar this way. I did lose my dog and my best cowboy hat in my divorce. (Not to mention most of the people whom I thought were my friends. Guess we learn.) Not the same though.

I'm sure you'll win out in this and be better off than ever before. If nothing else drink a few Zombies!

Humuhumu....don't worry....I'm Mrs. Fury's 2nd and she's my 3rd.....it always gets better....

Stentiki....my favorite mid-century motel in Palm Springs is The Orbit Inn as seen here....
