Dear Mr. Pablus,
Your driving was effective. I got to the airport with plenty of time to spare. No sweat there! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Atlanta and I hope we get a chance to play our ukes together. This will be my first time back in Atlanta since Hukilau 1 !! I love Atlanta and can't wait to see Trader Vic's, Tiki Torch Nights, and all the local BBQ joints. Ready or not Atlanta, Here I come!

Hope you get a chance to savor the ribs at "Rolling Bones" while you're in town, King! They are my new favorite stop for smoked swine. Get the sauce on the side- it's fine but sort of redundant when the food's this good.

...most of these were taken within 5 minutes of each other, some time after 1 AM.

Snorting pepper... or was it salt.
Mmmmmmmmm.
Had to have some input since the bar was jammed and Joel wouldn't mix me a night cap. Slacker. 
I came back from the trek to the bar with a Navy Grog for Kava King and he and his lovely Queen had left during the wait. I'm still carrying it around hoping he'll show.
No one really got too plowed because we couldn't get enough booze into us with the 4000 people squished into the bar area.
What a successful event! Lots of fun except for the backup 30 miles south of ATL that put me 3 hours late. But I was glad to catch the last 15 minutes of JT's GIANT HEAD presentation. Cool stuff.
Enjoyed the next day - a beautiful sunny day tooling around Buckhead with King Kukulele for several hours before heading north to the new Hapa Haole Hideaway.

Had a drink for me eh?...That's the LAST time I listen to the wahine when she says it's "time to leave". What a killjoy! I mean, just because Key (longtime friend and kitchen manager) and Joel were giving us the hairy eyeball and making rude "towards the door" gestures...
Thanks for the effort anyway and I'm sorry we didn't get to say our final Alohas to you and other friends, but we did have a very, very good time (and thanks to the stalwart photogs for the pix). One thing is certain: NEXT TIME, I'M BRINGING A FLASK. Cheers!

Wow... great pics!
Sure wish we could have been there for the festivities. I wonder if TV's made any money that night?
:>)
Great for the bar to make the dough, but tough on the customers when you're trying to get to the bar to get drink!

Absolutely the most people ever in Trader Vic's Atlanta. A madhouse. TTN is getting too big for Trader Vic's. I think it'll have to be moved...

Formica, look for photos of the Queen's Moai-inspired handbag very soon in the Creating Tiki forum.
Long story short- she diddit.
