Thanks, Kalai!

Tonight is week 2 of the Black Orchid Club. Don't forget that if you have a placeholder card from Week 1 (i.e, you didn't get a Song of Delilah card), you can come into the bar tonight and pick up your second run of the first week's card - just show me your place holder when you order. Also, along with tonight's cocktail and card, you will get a special sneak peek of the card for Week 4!

I'll see YOU at the Island!

I'll be there early eating your cookies!

Yup Yup!

I hope I don't have to do anything illegal to earn
one of these mysterious wild cards. I will bring a
blowtorch, a jar of mayonnaise, and a cantaloupe,
just in case.

see you tonite

Tomorrow night...A Black Orchid Drink!... With all my friends!?

[ Edited by: Aquatic Safarinaut 2009-11-24 15:47 ]

We are gonna have to miss this one. I've hit everyone since it started, but we are headed to Socal. On the plus side I will be sitting in Don the Beachcomber's thinking of all you orchid types.

I'll be there tomorrow! Looks like I'll get a leg up on some people?

J

You still have me to contend with, Otto! Plus, Hinano Paul will be there. I know you're not supposed to be able to catch up if you've missed three weeks, but somehow I know if anybody can, Paul can!

Somehow I have an extra "Pumpkin Delight" card from a few weeks ago
Anyone want to trade?

Come on down and see Johnny Bartlett spinning wax with me this Wednesday night from 8 - midnight

Check out this Flickr set taken over the course of the 13 weeks.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kicksaveandabeauty/sets/72157622709672373/

And what an amazing 13 weeks it's been. 13 incredible cocktails created by the ever so talented Suzanne Long.

Wednesday Feb 3rd is the day of reckoning and man, there are some AMAZING prizes to be awarded. Thanks to the dozens who have participated and made it in week after week. I had no idea that this would be so successful! I don't want to get into any details here - I'll let Suzanne do that - but I am blown away at how many (literally dozens) have completed all 13 rounds and the majority of those have the "wild cards" too! As a result, TONS of prizes will be awarded on Wednesday. In the words of Jack Lord: Be there!

I am thinking about changing my TC name to Mia Sol.

Seems appropriate.

DONE.
