No, actually up on stage, I'm gonna shove a bottle of Bacardi up Mr. Smiley's butt while he sings his rendition of "The Forbidden Sounds of Don Tiki"
Have your cameras ready folks.

I'm parched - and nothing's gonna quench that thirst like a Sidewinder's Fang!

A crown jewel!! An E ticket!! What a "soft" Grand Opening night! Wonderful friendly people all decked out in aloha attire. A 40 drink menu.. hard to pick which one to start with (try the Coronado Luau!). The planning and hard work sure paid off. Martin's (and friends) visions, Bamboo Ben's (and friends) crafty talents, and a great drink pouring crew made last night THE BEST! I am sorry Friday was a work day for me, and I had to cut out early, but I had a GREAT time. Thanks Martin and all those who put together a really fun evening. I am glad my aloha shirt blended in so well with your decor!!
MAHALO! It was nice meeting more of the Bay Area ohana, and saying hi to those I have already spent time with. I hope Alameda has a good supply of aspirin!

I've just posted my pictures & description in the Locating Tiki thread:

Those who were there last night -- don't forget to add your rating of Forbidden Island to Critiki!
http://www.critiki.com/cgi-bin/location.cgi?loc_id=552
What a wonderful time we had last night -- so many people I only get to see once in a blue moon, and I met lots of new people, too, which is always a treat. The crowd was just right -- the place was hopping, but I also was able to have lots of great one-on-one conversations with folks. Saturday is going to be a blast, too, but I can't wait to experience it as our weekly hangout (Wednesdays!). Thanks so much to Martiki, Conga Mike and Mano (and their wahines, who have done a whole ton, too) for creating this great place, which would be worth the trip even if it were on the other side of the world, but luckily it's right here in our backyard.

Wow, what a great evening. I had so much fun last night that it took me until noon to recover! 
Forbidden Island is absolutely amazing. The decor is perfect, drinks top notch, service is impecable. And it's only a 6 minute drive from casa de MaiTai's! It was great to spend time with friends...
Martiki, Conga Mike, Mano, et al: You outdid yourselves.

I had a incredible time.
The best of friends and a Tiki bar to die for.
I have contacted my post office, and am now having my mail forwarded to Forbidden Island.
Thanks you Martin and Mike and everyone else who helped make this place a reality.
Long Live Forbidden Island!

What a wonderful time last night. Somebody wake me up from this dream that such a place exists right in my neighborhood. On second thought, don't wake me up!

I second everything! What a killer place it is, I will be showing my face on Wednesday evenings for sure. I met a lot of people I haven't met before - how lovely to know there are so many cool folks around these parts that I haven't been aquainted with yet!

Me very, very happy. Lots of photos coming soon.
I think this is the most useless post I've ever made.
