20th is good! The 13th is Jill's birthday. But I did talk her into getting on that bus, so maybe I can convince her a tiki-themed birthday is a good thing.
Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure she's taking me to the Hu Ke Lau tonight for my own birthday. So if anyone wants to recreate the wonder of pineapple juice and cheesy-fantastic live entertainment, meet us up there! (it's a 'surprise', but I'm 99% sure that's where we're going)

Happy Birthday Paige!!!
You may want to get yourself a birthday gift before you go...maybe a flask....maybe full of good rum... it'll make those hukelau cocktails MUCH better!
Have a blast.

Well thanks, Bargoyle! GREAT idea, too.
Flask, check...
5th of Sailor Jerry's, check...
Not driving, check!
Now I just need a pair of crutches so they won't pull me onstage.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAIGE! Yeah Bargoyle has it right - you need to strengthen up those Hu Ke Lau cocktails.
Leisure Master and Scottes - thanks for the Salem suggestions. I'm planning on Mai Tais and crab rangoons at Fantasy Island at a minimum. Pics and reviews will be available at the end of October.

Ok folks, my huge plans for the 20th of october have crashed & burned.
SO, in place of them, we're just gonna open the Lono Lounge, mix some good drinks & relax with the ohana.
The doors are open to any who want to come, and we'll be doing a rum tasting with Scottes at some point during the day (with a lecture on the different islands & styles & what to look for as you sip fine rums)
More details to be worked out, as usual.
Prob not gonna do the whole big pig roast or food thing. Little snacky things, so if you wanna come & you wanna help out...bring food-stuffs... (and quarters for the pinball machines...bargoyle needs $$)
PM me if you're in.

Wow, Psychedelic! What did they put in that pineapple, man? Everything's LIME...
I'm currently downing faux mai tais from Hukelau mug #2. The show was good last night, but it felt weird riding back to CT instead of the North Attleboro Super 8. Can't I just hop on a Middletown transit bus and start drinking? Well, I guess I wouldn't be the first...

I was just told this Saturday that I was climbing the rigging at the Kowloon. I honestly have no recollection of this adventure, I guess I was on auto-pilot (or auto-idiot). Was anyone else cognizant enough to get a photo of my shennanigans?

No photo, but the image of you in the rigging will forever be embedded in my mind.
I seriously thought you were going to fall at one point, but you managed.

I second this; I was right next to you when it happened, and for a second, thought it would result in our being given the bum's rush, from the expression on one of the waiters.

Maybe that's why I remember the waiters all coming over and giving me extra swag just before we left. "Give him stuff so he goes away"

I missed it, but heard all about it. I wish it had been caught on film. It did seem like we were rushed out soon after, but that may have been due to the drunken tiki-dancing going on!!
Oh, and the "BIG" plans for the 20th kind of fell through, but we're still on with the tasting. Details here:

Seriously, RugbyMatt climbing the rigging was THE highlight of the day for me. You were directly overhead, singing the Indiana Jones theme. The staff was horrified.
It was one of the happiest moments of my life.
