Hey Pappy!!
I would love to do the Kowloon on Saturday, but cant.
I'm roasting a pig for the Tolland Fire Department.
Have a great time!!
Also, thinking about end of this month (pre-labor day...the 25th or 26th maybe?) for another get together.
HuKeLau maybe? ProfessahHummingflowah told me about some other joint we havent hit, but I forget what it was now...damn that rum!
In addition to some sort of August get together, I've been told by the contractors that their work in the house will be completed by this comming tuesday (8/15)...so, almost 5 months later & my house will be fully livable again!!!!
This means that I can start re-building the bar next week. If all goes well, I plan to have a re-opening party/luau sometime in late september. More on this as it develops.
Aloha!

Just because I get to go by the Kowloon & go buy at the Kowloon I thought you might want to give them a call before you head over. The bar in the back was under some sort of construction when I dropped in 2 weeks ago...

Dear New Englanders,
This is a little ways out, but thought I'd mention it. Four people from the Minnesota Ohana are going to be in Boston on Thursday, August 10, and will be heading for Tiki Island in Medford for Zombies, Grogs, and grub. If you're nearby, and interested in joining us, let me know. I'll know more details as the date gets closer, but thought I'd at least get the date out there.
Mahalo,
I, Zombie, Karol Kay-Ahhs, Quince_at_Danny's, and Varla.

Just thought I give this a big BUMP. We'll be there tomorrow night, probably early, like around 4:30pm -- right after we stop at Stereo Jacks: home of the $1 Now Sound.
Hope to see some of you there! I'll wear a tiki/hawaiian shirt, and my gal Karol has reddish blonde hair.
I, Z

Mrs. Pappy & I are going to the Kowloon Saturday (we got babysitting!)
If anybody wants to make it a New England Tiki Event, sound off!

Sorry Pappy - we have sitters for the Friday but are going to a wedding (this will be a Long Island night for me). So two nights in a row would be rough. Plus, I hate to say it, I'm on a self imposed spending freeze to fill the coffers for the ultimate tiki onslaught that awaits us in October! So I'll probably limit my events to helping out Bargoyle and maybe hitting my local Scorpion Bowl retreat, the House of Wu (can't go wrong for 9.50/bowl!). Which BTW, if anyone is up for coming by good 'ole West Warwick RI some weekend in September, maybe we can hit the Wu and adjourn to my place for cocktails and a fire in the backyard. Could be cool...
Bargoyle just give me a little lead time and I'll block off some time for the reconstruction effort.

WAITIKI CONTEST
Just uploaded an original Waitiki film, "The Way to Okonkuluku" to Youtube.com!
Here's a puzzle for all you New England'ers:
1) Where in Massachusetts are all the lake shots filmed?
2) At 2min 59sec, what is the name of the residence in the frame ... and to whom did it famously belong?
I'll buy ya a drink at the next show.......
The movie's about 5 minutes, lemme know what u think!

Professor - great video man. You guys are totally crazy. Don't worry that's a good thing!
Well you have me stumped. I Googled some stuff last night to try and nail down the lake in Mass you shot the footage at and I'm stumped. Anyone else able to identify the house? or the lake?
Signed, clueless....

Ok, just to put the cart before the horse:
The Grand Re-Dedication of the Lono Lounge in Tolland, CT will be either Oct 21st or 28th.
Anyone have a preference on these dates? Both are Saturdays, after the HuKeLau.
I'm hoping most if not ALL of the NE Ohana can make it. Those I've met, those I haven't. Even if you're a lurker or haven't made it to a single one of our gatherings, consider yourself PERSONALLY invited and welcomed.
Planning some pretty cool special surprises as well as the usual wackiness. Food, booze, games, tunes, etc to be supplied. Stay tuned for more.
And for those of you keeping score: Yes, I AM planning the party before I've even started to re-build the bar.
Let me know what date works best for everyone and I'll try to accomodate.
Aloooooooooooooha!!!!
ps Those who have offered, get those hammers ready. First shipment of supplies should arrive this week. (although this weekend is boned, so you've got a week to prepare!!)

man, you guys have certainly been active since we left. figures in those two weeks we'd miss all that!
ps - i know it's been said a million times, but the "tiki room under new management" is a travesty. it's WRONG, i tell you, WRONG!

Thanks Johnman. OK, I'll spare ya folks a few hints:
1. The Lake & house are somewhere in Western Mass ...
2. Just minutes away from a special tiki watering hole (my first as a teenager), reviewed by Bargoyle.
Hmmm......

I thought it would be more helpful if I provided some additional assistance and clues in this matter. Professor Humming FLower's intelligence sometimes baffles us to the point of having to substitute dark rum for light rum. SO, given that, here's some additional clues that might help you all trying to solve dis trivia:
Ok kochuni olorcocnutkitah challahchaniyah chunnih! Ut tah okkokuklikokek kinita kin-tah. Chasnelek chah!
Hope that helps!

Thanks Mr. Ho....NOW I've got it!!! ok, no I don't.
Leaning toward Oct 28th for the Bar re-opening party. Does that rule anyone out?
Also, some new pics of the basement/bar rebuild posted in the Gen Section today (link: http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=18943&forum=1&start=30&40 )
Alooooha!
