Was great seeing and meeting a few for the first time. Had fun saying Bon Voyage to Oasis goers. Looking forward to seeing pics after the fact. Mahalo to Kings and Jonesy for the ride. Have a great time every one.

What a cool night! There were tons of TC Ohana there, and it was awesome to finally be able to put a few names to some of these online handles. It was great to meet some of the Crawl Hosts like Sean and Brenda, and getting Sean's book of two too-short short stories with the awesome Heather Watts cover art. I was able to discuss velvet technique with Heather, critical film noir with Joe Banks (Scott), meet Martin from Forbidden Island... and delve into PiPhiRho's mythical mixology mastery (deep breath). A special thanks OceaOtica for the burned-wood Witco pendant, awesome!
I'm glad everyone was able to show at Tiki TI, and sorry if I didn't get to meet you if you were there. Looking forward to meeting more at Oasis this weekend.

It was such a blast!! Thanks to all the TCers who made the evening so special. Chief Bartender and I have been visiting the Tiki Ti for years whenever we get down to LA and it's not when they are closed at Thanksgiving, but this was DEFINITELY the best time we've had. Mahalo to OceaOtica for a COOL pendant. It was really nice talkin' to ya all. Mahalo to Mike as well for gracing us with a card for the wall. That made Chief Bartender's (Sean's) night. He will be bragging about that all weekend and beyond. We'll post some photos once we return home. Looking forward to seeing you later today and over the weekend. Bummer OceaOtica can't make it, but we'll hoist a rum drink in your honor.

I think we(my girl and I) were sitting next to someone with 2 books with something to do with VooDoo(Red and black covers)...We were sitting in the very corner bar next to my FAVORITE Miles Thompson print. I always am able to sit in that corner when I visit!

That someone with the book was my husband, Chief Bartender at Brenda's Tiki Hut (aka Sean). I'm sure he'll send one to ya if you didn't get one. Just pm him or me. The last 5 days have been spectacular. Needed to blow off some steam and I sure did. Thanks to all of you who made it so much fun.

What a fun night. Good pics from my first trip to Tiki Ti. I wish I hadn't forgotten my camera! I was planning to make it again tonight but alas, it was not to be. I might head over Friday for drinks though after the Bob Drasnin signing at La Luz de Jesus. Fingers crossed. I have to sample some more of those drinks before I go home!

Hey, I'm going to be in Los Angeles from tomorrow through Sunday the 21st... which of course means I get to hit Tiki-Ti on Wednesday. It's my first Tiki-Ti Wednesday in aaaaaages, and I can't wait. Come out & join me, if you can!
