First clear day here. Wednesday night and Christmas was stormy, heading to Aku Aku again this afternoon for sunset and then to Frankie's for a Mai Tai and a toast to Eli.
Kirby maybe I'll see you there. I'll bring my laptop with some TC events slideshow too.
Moss, Ben and all of the artists! Thank you for a very cool place!

Friday night waiting for Kirby with some fellow TCers P Drake,John O and Rum Shaker.
Prayed to the Tiki god which my girl friend refused to do. She won two Texas Holem tournaments, me none. WTF Crazy Al?
John O and I tried Rum Shaker's Mai Tai.
Better than Trader Vic's, I kid you not!
I ordered my Mai Tai in the Lava Letch mug. Heh heh
John O samples his Mai Tai and with his friends.
Frankies got lucky getting Leroy to carve a Tiki for them. Carves very few these days I hear.
I drank a toast to Eli and the Aku Aku picture hanging on the wall after visiting Sunset Park and the Aku Aku which is becoming hidden behind the trees. I walked around the lake and asked everyone " So whats the deal with the Easter Island statue on the island?
A few responses "I think he is a fishing god" "Statue?, I never noticed it before"
" They made it for the park" "It came from Treasure Island" " It's a indian carving"
I am making a video for You Tube with these and other replies that will be posted soon.
He needs a new home or a least a plaque with the history.
Rum Shaker with her own Murky Lagoon that she served at Tiki Oasis. Not on the menu yet but it should be.
Moss, order a Murky Lagoon mug and add this one!
Oh yeah, Lemon Hart for well rum I'm impressed! Nice collection of rum too.

Wow, great pix. Matt & I had to check out Frankies place since we had an 8 hour layover in Vegas on Dec 12, so we took a cab and had a few drinks. Great place!
Open 24/7!!
Love the tv's playing vintage clips
Fantastic Juke Box filled with Tiki Tunes, Awesome!
Time to order drinks  I believe we ordered a sea hag, zombie and later the bearded clam, highly recommended by other patrons we spoke with
Here we are with all our swag! Couldn't go overboard since we had to carry these on the plane (or we would have bought more)
I'm always making new friends
Matt likes to say "Mookie is hammered" I have to say I was feeling no pain and ready to board the plane and try to sleep (red eye has new meaning)!!
Frankies is a fabulous place and I'm sure it will be a hot spot for all tiki lovers. I love how every detail was thought of down to the music and vintage tv images, and the artwork, plus the drinks are top notch!

More StairMaster!

We can make fun
cause we have the same problem!
it's called
Mild Mid-life Sedentary Disorder....
it affects painters more than carvers
especially folks who do both!
but it IS contagious!
You must have gotten it from Perry!
Hey Ben,were you able to grab that BUD sign
in between VOGUEing?
