On April 9th, we'll be hosting the Brevard Pre-Hukilau party at The Storm Shelter in Rockledge. It's an opportunity for everyone to get together and get to know each other prior to the wackiness of the Hukilau in June. For more information, either PM me or shoot me an email at [email protected]. Pics from previous pre-Hukilau parties can be found at: http://www.tornadotiki.com/

We are moving it one week later to April 16th. The rest of the details are still the same. Hope this doesn't trip anybody up.

Let me know if so and I'll send them down. I'll be in Lauderdale 4/21 - 4/25 if anyone is going to be in the area let me know!

We are going to have some "non-tiki" people there to celebrate my wife's departure from the newspaper business, so maybe we can talk some of them into attending the Hukilau. We will be Ft. Lauderdale on the 24th and 25th for the Zombie Jamboree at the Mai Kai. We would love to get together before then, though.

I'll be arriving on 4/21 and plan to hit the Mai-Kai every night I'm there. Send me a PM with your address and I'll send some goodies. I'll PM you my cell phone number in return!

After an excellent dinner at nearby Vintage 56 (http://www.vintage56.com), we took refuge in The Storm Shelter where George plied us with a succession of expertly prepared, wonderfully complex rum cocktails for the rest of the evening, assisted by Drew. We started with the Puhi Split, a Macadamia Nut Liqueur based recipe posted on TC years ago by Kauaikaki from the Paradise Bar & Grill in Puhi, Kauai. I really like that one. We then moved on to George’s own special creations and sampled various infused spirits along the way. A communal Luau Scorpion Bowl found its way in the mix, served in a custom TornadoTiki volcano bowl with flames erupting from the center. Chris then served a delicious chocolate-coconut homemade ice cream. The experience was awesome, especially meeting fellow Brevard tikiphiles. Here are some photos taken in The Storm Shelter before camera shake overcame the built-in correction algorithms...

A special mahalo to George and Chris for making this possible. We’re now truly prepared for Hukilau 2011! -Tom and Pat
