Cool party! Mucho mahaloz to da Z's for hosting and to the guest bartenders and Sabu for that broke da mouth chicken. We had a great time. The reverb crash & whatever that stuff the good doctor & I were doing shots of in the kitchen really put me away (but in a good way). Last I recall the party was breaking up and we were off for some late night grinds at some place called Nancy's(?) I went back to round up Sally and lost you guys. We cruzed around for awhile trying to find it and wound up deep in the bowels of Torrance...lost. Woke up this morning in the beeautiful Redondo Inn and headed straight for the Pier for greasy breakfast & Mai Tais at Tony's. Took the long way home around the Palos Verde penninsula and down PCH...what a great weekend!

Well, I'd simply like to say a big MAHALO to all those that were able to make it: those that came from nearby, those that came from far away, and those that came from really far away!! Without all of you, it would have just been me and a sh*tload of booze...
Fast facts: we went through 6 gallons of Tiki Bird's homebrew, 5 gallons of Lapu Lapu's, 3 gallons of Reverb Crash, half a dozen bottles of wine and at least 3 cases of alco-pops, beers, and other assorted bottled drinks. This doesn't even include what was mixed at the bar, where the guest bartenders and myself went through bags of limes, bushels of mint, and emptied enough liquor bottles to fill a "Recyclables" trash can!
See what I mean?
Oh, and I'm not sure how much chicken & shrimp Sabu made, but there were enough used skewers to make a small bonfire with!
I would like to extend special thanks to the Guest Bartenders (even the surprise ones!) for keeping the drinks flowing under extreme pressure of the thirsty masses - next year we're having TWO bars! Oh, and I'm going to put a muzzle on Atomic Cocktail! 
Extra special thanks to Sabu for the grinds, T-Bird & Utopian Dreem for the brew and Z-Girl (uh... I mean DolphinTiki) and Johnnie V for helpin' set up and gettin' the food out.
But extra EXTRA thanks for going waaaaay above and beyond the call of duty must go to Mr. & Mrs. Kick-the-Reverb: not only did they pull one of the longest stints behind the bar, they also spent the night (in their car, mind you), got up early somehow, snuck into the house, CLEANED THE WHOLE PLACE, then left before I even got up! Wow.
Besides sobriety, there were some other things left behind here:
Sabu - I have your yellow cutting board
TikiPug - I have your mojito sugar spoon
Cousin Dave - I have your sunglasses
Wersmo Derinc - I have your grey cooler
Ookoo Lady - I have your song book
Krustiki - I bought your Tiki Pa'ina raffle tickets
I will be bringing all "found" items to International Tiki Day and you can pick 'em up there (unless you make other arrangements)
To all who painted Ku masks: the 'contest' never occurred because, well, apparently the appointed judges never judged anything! The masks that are still here will be brought to International Tiki Day, where judging will occur and prizes will be awarded. (If you brought your mask(s) home already, bring it to ITD for judging consideration) If you want an unpainted mask, PM me.
<sniffle> The friendship of my TikiCentral ohana is priceless, and your generosity and aloha spirit know no bounds. If I could throw a party like this for you every weekend, I would. </sniffle>
(BTW - thanks to the gifts that were brought, we still have enough booze for another party! I'll keep y'all posted...)
Notes to self:
--keep Atomic Cocktail off the computer
--raise puffers & lamps higher to avoid injuring TikiPug again
--don't let Futura Girl spray paint the lawn
--don't let Humuhumu take pix of my eBay videos
--find out about this heretofore unknown Sabu/snail connection
--don't drink it if Kick-the-Reverb tells you it has way too much Pernod
--put congas out of reach of chanting bar patrons
--don't drunkenly try to speak French to impress French guests
--find out how the cat got on TikiCentral
Well: same time next year??

This thread ain't over yet. I've finally recovered from the Castaway Lounge and wanted to thank Doctor Z for the incredible party and warm hospitality. This was my first TC event and everyone made me feel right at home. Great people, great atmosphere and great drinks! I'm ready for more.
P.S. - Doctor Z, I hope you enjoy the Tipsy cd.

Yes, I know the post is messed up, but the edit page is buggy and it's coming up with no "submit" button. I need one of those...HUMU!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix your post, since I get the wacky busted up page, too, but here's how it would look if I could fix it properly:
