Kirby's Rumpus Room 10yrs. & still going strong!

Hey, everyone! I tried posting on Rumpus Room's FB page, but I'm just not very FB savvy. I'm coming to town next week & was wondering how many of you would be up for Rumpus Room Thursday, seeing as Wednesday is Halloween? Adrian, I know, awhile back, you said a road trip to the DOR might be possible. I'd be up for that, too. I'm just throwing this out there. Whatever you folks decide, I'm in.
Mahalo,
Rick

I now have it, on good authority, that Rumpus Room is on for Thursday night, this week. Hope to see everyone there & thanks to Kirby for being so accomodating.

Spent Halloween making orgeat, falernum, and demerara sugar syrup. And with a Thursday Rumpus you barely need to worry about work on Friday.

Rumpus de los Muertos indeed!

Kevin

Ummmmm. Well you got half my name right, lol See you all tomorrow, night.
Rick

Awesome Rumpus tonight, and a thrill for me personally. Thanks for letting me take a couple shifts behind the bar!

Kevin

Thanks to everyone who showed up on a Thursday night. It was great to see you all. Special thanks to Kirby, Polly & Tyler for their hospitality, as usual. Extra special thanks, to Kirby, for letting me take home a little piece of The Rumpus Room. A week from now, this baby will be hanging in The Mauna Kai Lounge, keeping me company through 5 months of miserable weather.
Mahalo,
Rick

It's been a while since I've taken other pix than the group shot at the RR...
We had out-of-towners from far across the country.
Kevin did some tag-team guest mixin' with Kelly, so it was a double dose of goodness!
I also enjoyed one of Kelly's classics I haven't had in over a year!
And now, some photos from the fun-filled evening...

Large version of the group shot can be found at the TTBS.

Thanks Kirby & Polly what a fun night, I never hear complete conversations behind the bar my thoughts were, Gosh!, this is what it's like sitting in the Rumpus Room! Actually I'm most at home behind the bar here in our fourth year of Mai Tai Meetings. Great to visit with you Rick and Luke hurry back soon! heylownine Kevin was a natural and seemed comfortable tending bar for us all and we sure enjoyed the libations! Thank you Tonga Tom for the great photos!
Stay tuned to hear from Kirby as we might be moving to Tuesday's for a while. ???

Tonight ?? Crap !! I'm 2,500 miles away. :(

Got crap firing in the kiln. Can't leave the cave.

When GROG say that, this what my mind see...

JOHN-O, you left part of the quote out.
The "… to be disgusted" part.

Kirby & Polly's 4th Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater and Mustache Party!

**You're Invited! TUESDAY December 18th **

Please join Kirby, Polly and Tyler and all the Rumpus Room Gang for Christmas and Holiday Shenanigans! As usual we're up to ALL good, wearing ugly sweaters, growing odd facial hair (and boy, some of those gals look just awful with facial hair I might add, never the less,) we will be whooping it up Rumpus Room style! Holiday Cocktails, Exotic Cocktails, Treats to Eat, Holiday Exotica music, Lounge and Surf music will be spinning of course so come on out, mix and mingle with friends it's Christmas Time again! Just find yourself a ugly Christmas or winter type sweater, vest or coat that will do nicely. Fellow's grow out that facial hair or wimp out with the ladies and paste that mustache on that's all that is required besides bringing Lemons and Limes for entry to the Rumpus Room. If you wish please feel free to bring a snack, treats or any side dishes you would care to share. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

When: TUESDAY ** December 18**
Time: 7:00 PM
Where: Just PM Kirby for the address in La Crescenta Ca.

Oh it was a typo... "to be discussed". I thought Kelly meant this last week was the actual party and everyone was going to be disgusted by all the ugly sweaters. Haha. :)

70's Porno mustache bump!

Polynesiac and Onyx Noir were at RR last night ?? I wish I knew that.

It was my first time, but I'll be back :)

HUGE turnout.

pics?

Editing them now.

Here's the group shot sans 10 or so people who left before or didn't arrive until after.
You can see the larger version at the Tonga Tom blog listed below.

Kirby applying some makeup mustache to Tyler before Rumpus room.

Father and son with matching mustaches.

It's been awhile since GROG has been to Rumpus Room. GROG forget how much GROG enjoy HipHipaHula's drinks.

Polly and Krisdrama in da Rumpus Room! Let the party begin!

Kirby showing off his mustache that won him second place in the Mustache Contest.

The host and hostess for the night.

Mr. Happy, Jim Tikiyaki. This IS his happy face.

A coconut monkey got into the spirit of the party by donning a mustache as well.

Krisdrama and Joseph sporting finger 'staches.

Starting to get crowded.

This lady brought a couple of kids to up the cuteness factor.

Kid deciding if she wants a shot of 151 or Tequila to start the night out.

Mojo not begging for food. It's a Christmas miracle!

Geedavvee making a grand entrance.

Now this is how you win a mustache contest!

Tyler ordering another round of shots for the kids. GROG think he was trying to get the
young girls drunk so he could get lucky.

Kelly telling Tyler she doesn't have any roofies.

Tyler decides to just play it cool and hang with the ladies.

Buttercup and Polly watching the scene.

That's when the kids got into the pot brownies.

A nice older lady brought a little elegance to the party. (and the pot brownies)

Krisdrama and Tobunga's minds were connected by orange mind tentacles.

The younger girl stuck with rum and coke for the night.

The older girl opted for the pot brownies.

Buttercup on the left was REALLY enjoying those pot browmies.

Krisdrama and Tobunga apparently finished their mind meld.

Captain Falernum showed up with Yum Yum donuts. GROG not sure what they were laced with, but it was some sort of hallucinogen.

Kirby holding court outside by the heater.

I don't need no stinkin' fake mustache!

But I do.

It was cold outside.

So cold, Polly and Tyler made snowmen

Val and A-Frame tripping on Yum Yum donuts.

Wow, the lights are so colorful. I love these donuts.

John-O arrives with some Lemon Hart.

Murph and his wife notice that people eating the brownies and the donuts are acting a bit weird.

Tobunga voices his suspicions to John-O.

John-O striking his best GQ pose to show off his sweater.

Tom notice that GROG caught him sampling the donuts.

John-O deciding if he should try the donuts or the the brownies. Geedavee has had a good bit of both.

Somehow John-O grew a mustache in minutes after sampling the donuts. Squirrel thought it was funny.

Naomi telling GROG that Sven is back in town, so we better play it cool or Sven might get suspicious of us.

You can tell Tom really liked the brownies because his eyes are red.

Polynesiac's wife on the other hand, preferred the donuts.

Murph's wife does the mustache shake ala Charlie Chaplin.

Some old long lost Rumpus Roomers returned.

Sven doesn't suspect a thing.

Nice hat Tom.

A-Frame and Polynesiac both went with the Snowman motif for their Christmas sweaters.

Mojo begging for food again.

Flaming Tikis were definitely in the mood. Ugly sweaters and mustaches.

Heylownine jumped behind the bar to give kelly a break from slinging drinks.

Anders and Tom tripping on Yum Yum donuts.

Looks like they are going to kick GROG' ass for posting pics of them tripping.

A fun night at the Rumpus Room. Lots and lots of people that night, might have been a new record turnout.

P.S. There weren't really any pot brownies or laced donuts. We save those for parties at Jake the Bearded Bastard's Place. (Just kidding!!)

Thanks for the awesome commentary and photos GROG!

After that run of photos I think I just lived the entire evening all over again. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that "to go" donut.

Mahalo to Kirby & Polly for hosting an Epic Xmas Rumpus Room!

GROG, you are an excellent storyteller.

Especially the part about the young girls and pot brownies. Hilarity.

That was fun! Huge turn out of folks apparently all on pot brownies, about 45-50 or so( we are kidding!)
Thank you again Kirby & Polly and also to Tonga Tom and Grog for the photos. I can't wait until next year.

Here we go, stay tuned..... Wait for it.................
