Humm maybe , However.
What's the value of that gift card ?
It might get me a little more motivated.

Oh poo for the gift card -- think of the fame, glory, and immortality of having your name on the FI's menu. 50 years from now, people will be finding/buying the "Old" drink menu from FI in garage sales and/or ebay and doing research on who and what was what was in those "tiki drinks" from the cool old tiki bar down the street.

Actually, 50 years from now we'll all have direct web-to-brain jacks that'll access Google's 'Universal Print' feature, which will retrieve all the written information ever printed, with 758 different language & dialect translators. You'll be able to overlay this information in 3D via permanent pixel lenses that will actually place you in any environment from any era, recreating the Tiki Bars of the past around you for a small monthly fee.
Details Schmeetails, this contest is cool!

I am already the 1st name on the wall of the Kill Devil Club that almost killed me.
I don't need my name on a drink menu to prove to myself that I need to go to AA.
So yeah, If I am going to spend even more of my time and money for FI I would like to know how much it would be worth.

Okay, I'm In. Before I started working on the drink for the Oasis I was working on a drink called "The Serpent's Kiss".
One question, is there a particular number of ounces you'd like the drink submissions?
If we could get an idea of a minimum or maximum that would be great.
|
|
No minimum or max, but generally between 1 to 4 oz of spirits.

The gift card is good for one pint of Pabst and a firm handshake!

Pabst is my brew. Now I'm in! Instead of a handshake though, can I just get a "good game" slap on the okole(preferably from a female staff member)?

Cam, thanks for the vote of confidence, but there are a LOT of magicians and talent out there!
I was over Hiltiki's house last night with a big box of booze, syrups and juices. She even whipped up a batch of fresh infused syrup (which one--I'm not telling). She was my taste tester last night. I'm still working out the right mix of flavors and textures.

Great fun.
I'm in. I've sent my entry to the gmail account.
I just get under the wire, by being in your place once. It was a great night, thanks to all for showing up last year, especially on a school night and 2 days before the crawl.
Have fun with the judging.

Just out of curiosity (and because I have an awesome new recipe I've created), is Forbidden Island going to do another "appetizer contest"? I had to miss last year's because of work!

Probably not anytime soon- it was a lot of fun, but turnout was light.
