Tikibelle and I will have been married one year on October 11th! Time certainly flies when you're having fun, and the two of us would like to share the fun with you on Saturday, October 9th with a small, intimate cocktail party for about a hundred or so of our close friends.
We've been working hard on the house all year and are ready to open it up to the public. Doctor Z, master of libations and concoctions has kindly agreed to supply a watercooler-full of Chief Lapu Lapu and will probably be taking a stint behind the bar, mixing Mai Tais, etc. It's rumored that Tikibird and Utopian Dream may be bringing some of their famous home-brewed somethin-or-other.
I will be out at the grill as usual, cooking up my famous Spicy Coconut Chicken Skewers and Chile-Lime Shrimp.
Vintage turntables will be spinning. Exotica cds will be random-shuffling. There may even be spontaneous swing-dancing!
Festivities start at 5:00pm and go on till the wee hours of the morning.
Here's where we could use your help:
I'm no good at bartending - my place is out at the grill. And I don't want to stick my good friend Doctor Z behind the bar all night. We need guest bartenders.
If you've got a famous drink you'd like to share with the group and are willing to take a "Guest Spot" behind the bar for an hour, we could sure use your help. As at Doctor Z's party, I'll have most of your
basic alcohols and mixers behind the bar, but if your drink requires a special ingredient, you'll need to bring it. Let me know on this thread or by e-mail or P.M. and I'll add your name to this post as a guest bartender. The more bartenders we get, the easier the job for everybody.
Guest Bartenders So Far
Doctor Z
Ran (kick-the-reverb)
Humuhumu
On Food Contributions
Since I'll be cooking Chicken and Shrimp, I could still use any side dishes, snacks, salads or desserts you'd like to make. If you let me know what you're bringing, I can add it next to your name below, so that others have an idea of what's still needed. Alcohol is also welcome. Again, though - A food donation IS NOT REQUIRED to attend this party. We want to see YOU - so come as you can and don't stress about it.
A Sleepover?!
For those of you travelling far or who do not want to watch your drinking like a Protestant Minister (of which there will be several attending  ,) - We have a guest room with a trundle bed, a large futon w/frame in the family room, and plenty of floor space for sleeping bags. We also have room for 3 or 4 tents in the backyard.
So feel free to sleep over for any reason. Maybe we can all hit King's Hawaiian for breakfast in the morning.
Attendees:
Here's the list of confirmed Tiki Central attendees so far. We also have plenty of other friends and family coming as well - And they LIKE Tiki, so don't be afraid. If I neglected to add you to the list, please let me know and I'll put you on forthwith. (I know my faulty brain has already forgotton a few of you):
Doctor Z & Dolphin Tiki
Tiki Bird & Utopian Dream
Vintage Girl & Atomic Cocktail
Kickthereverb - (Ran & Dale)

I'll be there! I'd *love* to be a guest bartender, if you'll have me. I don't have a special drink, but if you want to pick something out of the Grog Log or Intoxica, I'll make sure I have it down before the party. At Dr. Z's party, I made a few Mai Tais and Beachbum's Owns, and no one spit them out. People *were* pretty drunk by that point, tho.

Thanks Humuhumu!
We'd *Love* to have you guest-bartend. It wouldn't be a party without you!
Take a look folks - the talent is assembling.
Ran (kick_the_reverb) has graciously offered to mix his famous "Reverb Crash" for the guests.
Humuhumu has also graciously offered to mix mai-tais and Beachbum's Owns for us.
The guests have been RSVP'ing. I've begun stocking up on the alcohol. It looks like quite a party is shaping up here. We look forward to seeing you all. Who else can we expect?

Ok - down to the final stretch!
I've updated the first post with a list of attendees so far - so please let me know if you're not on the list.
I've also addressed the question of food donations that so many of you have been graciously concerned about. In short, we can use side dishes, salads, snacks, and desserts of ANY kind. If you let me know what you're bringing, I'll even add it next to your name so that others can see what's already been covered.
We do also have possibilities of a SLEEP-OVER. See the first post for details.
Thanks again to all who have RSVP'd so far. It looks like it's going to be a Smashing Good Party!
Sabu

I'm in. I'll also offer to lend a hand at the bar if needed. I'm not going to mix any particular drink, though. I'll do mojitos, mai tais, zombies, whatever.
