Chris and Emi,
Just wanted to wish Emi a happy birthday. You're party sounds like it's gonna be great and I wish we could be there. Tiki Greg has been making me jealous with his anticipation of seeing the Fishermen at your cool pad. You guys are gonna love him and KO. Great tiki peeps!
Since I'm grounded this fall, I won't likely see you again until after the new year. Please give my best to the Northeast gang and the Fishermen.

you are greatly missed out here on the east coast! emi is so glad you're doing well - she would check all the tiki central updates about your recovery along w/ me & is very relieved that you're home & getting better.
i'm very much looking forward to meeting tikigreg. to be sure, we will drink a toast to you, my friend!
please keep us posted on when you plan to get back over to this side of the country.
aloha from me & emi,

Hey Tiki Chris!
Thanks for having Kathleen and me to Emi's bash, we had a killer time. It was great to meet both of you, and to meet ikitnrev as well. Fisherman was as awesome as ever!
This morning came sooner than I would have liked, but at least the drive home was pretty quiet, thankfully.
I'll also posts pics soon.
Mahalo!

yes, your presence was indeed missed, manic cat! and the fisherman sounded great (i couldn't believe such wonderful sounds were coming from my backyard!).
anyway, you don't need no party invite to visit us. so, if you find yourself w/ a spare weekend - let us know.
emi & i'd both love to catch up w/ you.
aloha,
tc

That was a good party, and a very worthwhile reason for a road trip into New Jersey. Tiki Chris, you have a great home - for some reason most of my memories seem to be from the vantage point of behind the bar or from the living room sunken pit area, and I hope that you and Emi have many more fun parties and memories there. Tiki Greg makes a great mai tai - two of them had my head spinning. I tried to counter with my own 'Dave and Anna' recipe, but I think I might have left some ingredients out. It was also great to hear the Fisherman perform live again - this world needs more vibraphone players.
I got to see more of New Jersey too - Storybook Gardens on Saturday, walked the Asbury Park boardwalk, Atlantic City's Lucy the Elephant, and many of the great signs in Wildwood on Sunday. I've got to make a trip to Wildwood just to take pictures of the signs and architecture there. I didn't make it home until 11:30 on Sunday, but it was a fun weekend.
Hope to see you all again soon.

Vern,
It was great meeting you & I really appreciate you driving up for the occassion (I think you came from the greatest distance of all our guests).
Behind the bar is my fave part of the house too. It has a comfy, nookish feel, especially when there are a few friends seated at the bar & the lights are dim.
I'm glad you have good memories from the sunken den too. We call it the "teenage love pit." Come back in the winter when the fireplace is roaring. It's comfy.
Both Emi & I felt like the party was a real success and are hoping to make it an annual-ish event.
Mahalo for the gifts & for the good times,
Tiki Chris

I have more family events in Sept. and then off to Hukilau in October. But, I'll squeeze in the time to see you + Em. I love the NYC Tiki Ohana!

Oh Man, seeing those pictures really makes me disappointed that I could not be there, but I was being a good responsible son (making up for being a rather difficult child). It looks like a good time was had by all and it's good to see the lovely birthday girl, Emi. Happy belated birthday and please do make this an annual event.

tikigreg: Great photos! Thanks for posting them. I'll post ours soon too.
Urban Tiki: Your birthday greeting isn't belated at all, Ray. In fact, today's my sweetie's actual birthday.
Aloha,
Tiki Chris
