I had such a fabulous time that I signed up just so I could say thanks to everyone, especially Bargoyle, Pappy the Sailor, Waitiki, the friends & sponsors, and Primo, who gifted me with a mug. Thanks everyone!

Indeed, a marvelous time! Who sez there's no Tiki up here? It's not what's on the wall, what's on your plate, or in your mug (assuming they serve it in an actual mug), it's the company you share it with!
This was a quality gathering, and something I look forward to again!
Big Mahaloz to Bargoyle, Pappy, Granite, Primo, Hula Cat, jpmartdog, Tiki Mortis (my assigned seat buddy on the bus), Velveteen Lounge, Rugbymatt, Tikisgirl, all the sponsors, and people who made it so much fun either by contributing in some monetary, swag, or elbow grease capacity, or just by being fun to be with. Next time lets get more serious about the drinking though!

Aloha everybody from the N.E.T.T.! It was great to meet you all'.I had a blast. I can't wait 'til next year.
Many thanks to Sully and Pappy and all the people that got this off the ground. And Waitiki! WOW! What a great show! Anyway, that's all for now. 'Til next time, may there be many tiny bubbles in your wine and a tropical moon over your horizon.

Wow I had a great time! The New England Ohana really knows how to get together and have some fun. The Raffle & the playing cards were a blast. I'm thrilled with my new mug & Thor prints! I have to say that all the donations from the Tiki Central Ohana from near and far were amazing!
About the swag, the managers really did seem to appreciate our appearance. As you know I was able to get a bunch of vintage postcards from the Mon Kou & a couple of old match books from the South Pacific. Some of you walked away with original Tiki Lau & New Tiki Menu's. The highlight of my evening; at the Bali Hai when they came up with boxes of the great original black OMC Bali Hai mugs! I didn't get anything at the Kowloon but they had some great mugs and stuff in the case! It seemed from the brief conversations I had, that the managers were proud of their establishments and appreciative of our wanting to "keep history alive"
Finally, Sully aka Bargoyle and Jay aka Pappy the Sailor, I heard that you two went the extra miles to see that this tour would be a success. Rumor has it that they did a pre-tour drive from one bar to the next such great lengths, deserve many thanks and applause. So thanks for making the First Annual North East Tiki Tour a rousing success! Until next year?
The pictures are great so far can't wait to see some more! (Spare tire punch!!)

Aw shit.
I lost my personalized tiki tour travel mug.
It's particularly lame because I needed a new one of those!

Mahalo & kuddos to Bargoyle & Pappy. It was the "the best day ever, " to quote you-know-who. A bus load of new friends. What could be better? Is it too early to reserve my seats for next year?
Wow. I'll be remembering this for years to come...
