LOL! I think this'll finally get folks to the East Bay, EH???
Mai Tai, you got that right about the guest room...snortle. Somehow I think we'll all be spending much more time in Alameda...
AquaZ is right about Alameda cops, though. A friend of mine got stopped once for going...I kid you not...26 mph! Sheesh. But just be careful and you'll be fine--I've never had a problem and I've bar-hopped in Alameda many times. Just act like it's 1952 and all will be well.
Pretty funny about the Crawl, Mr. S. You almost had me going there for a second!
I'm ZOOOOOOOOOOO happy about this! Congrats to you all!!!

Hey, Will, are you going to be inviting any "friends" to the grand opening? If so, I'll leave my valuables at home!
Seriously, I did a GIS for "Forbidden Island" and the secret plans for 3M's place appeared:
Do you really need the parrot?

Wow, the SF bay area must be in the lead for most new bonafide tiki places. Seemed like a few years ago we were leading the destruction trend (Lilo, Tiburon Tommies, etc.), but now it's a horse of a different ballgame! It is with the utmost selfishness that I wish you all many years of unparalleled financial success!

Yea, I'm telling Otto to make sure to BRING HIS CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Mike and Martin might wanna get a 300 pound bouncer nicknamed KONG for the door, checking the cards on all cameras in and out....if you can't identity any of the photos to him, you get strung up in the back patio like a tiki pinata for all the angry drunks to take a whack at! Could add a whole new dimension to these aloha events!!

CONGRATULATIONS GENTS! Those of us who cannot be there when you open due to the Coon tiki carving event will just have to raise a group toast to you long distance!

Rats, according to Mapquest it's Total Est. Time: 43 hours, 39 minutes Total Est. Distance: 2929.59 miles. Guess I'll miss the opening...sigh...
But it will be AWESOME for all you local folks! Rock on 3M's!
(You wouldn't have any need for a resident archaeologist, would you? hehe)

I am so excited about this! I've talked extensively with Martin and Mike about Forbidden Island and I'm convinced this is going to be the place to be in the Bay Area. I can't wait! Congratulations to Martin, Mike, and Manny!

Yeah, but will it be wireless? 
Hey the site looks way way way cool!! I really like how the graphics fade in from black and remain sort of dark. Very mysterious, just like a tiki bar should.
