Great pix, folks! Thanks so much for coming out. Once again, an extremely successful NE Tiki event! The success was the fun, which is a rare combination of elements. I have to thank Jack Bardy, owner of Pho Republique, Brother Cleve, Mr. Ho, The Professor, who all contributed selflessly to the organization and logistics (or maybe illogistics, is a better term), of course to the Beachbum, for his expertise and spirit, which provided the inspiration for the event, and to the Thor Stor, Tiki Farm, Sam Gambino, and Diva Pinup for donating prizes which were raffled off, to the staff of Pho for their hospitality and professionalism, to Alex and Matt, the OKU Frat Boys. I'm sure I've left out someone, or some people, and I apologize for that.
But most of all, thanks to everyone who came out, from near and far.

And my thanks to you! We had a fabulous time (though waking up this morning was somewhat painful). We probably wouldn't have driven 2 hours for a bar meetup, but the combination of Waitiki and the Bum proved too irresistible to miss. We'll have pictures soon!

Woohoooooooo - that was a blast. I am sure I'm still drunk. Thedrinks were beautiful and delicious. Thanks Waitiki for such a wonderful event. Thanks to Beach Bum Berry for his kindness. What a great mix of Tiki-philes, swanksters, hipsters and drunks! Phew I'm exhausted!
Pappy, Thunder and Johnman break-in the bar!
Rev Thumper and Kristiki are pleased with the authentic concoctions! Wonderful garnishes!
Bargoyle, Pappy, Beach Bum and Scottes
Humuhumu and the Mayor of Exotica strike a deal!
Mr. Ho and his lovely 'vanna white'

I was having a great time up until Bargoyle stuffed that tail in my face.
Well I must say this was one outstanding event. To think that I was drinking a REAL Navy Grog in Boston was something to behold. And it was an extra treat to see two members of the California Ohana - Beachbum Berry and Humuhumu! BIG thanks go out to Pho Republique, Beachbum Berry and WAITIKI for getting this together.
Unfortunately I couldn't close the place. I soooo wish I could have. I can't believe I was actually writing code after the night's events. Hmm, maybe I should review my code for grogginess.
Hey - if JP or Pappy has a picture of the Bum and I please post it! I'm going to Photoshop the kids in for my xmas card. Yeah, like that would ever fly!

Glad to finally be able to ditch work and attend one of these N.E. events... here are a few of our less blurry photos.

oooooooooooooooooo! 
One tiny week ago we were drinking the best cocktails, listening to the best beats and hanging with the best ohana. The Sippin Safari of Beantown was sooooooo great! If I had a time machine I'd set it for Sunday October 18, 2007 and relive it over... and over... and over... and over... and over...
I gotta get a life! Navy Grog Please!

Great events like these are just the result of efforts by the ohana, and we are the ohana. I'm amazed at how willing the people are to put these things together, and it's not exactly easy, but the good will and enthusiasm combined with the attention to detail and professionalism of everyone involved makes things seem easy. It won't be long before we'll be having an event each month. I remember when there were no events in these parts, and that wasn't that long ago. In the past 6 months we've had a few big events already. And some smaller ones. I like where this trend is going.
