I am very much in favor of this! I do think that to avoid legal and philosophical/commercial issues, a private location would be better. Too bad there is not yet a Northeast Chapter of FOM; that would be the ideal location! I also back the printing of certificates, which, if I pull some strings, could be accredited by Okonkuluku University, which could accrue towards the degree of Cocktailology. Fortunately, the Village Elders, which also serve as Trustees of the University, are easily plied with rum.

BTW, and update on the Beehive: Music runs from 10pm to 1:30. As a new place, they are still shifting things around to find what works, and this is the new schedule. Thanks for coming, See you there!

My thought was that a private function place might be too expensive because there's generally a lot of overhead. And someone's home might be too small, unless there's only a small amount. But you are right about legalities, etc. If there's enough interest then a conference center would be cheaper per person, for sure.
Anyone know how much a hotel/conference center charges for a room for 20 people for 3 hours? I might have to make some calls...
As to certificates, accreditation by Okonkuluku U would be great!

In the interim, until a fully functioning lodge is built, the Lono Lounge serves gracefully as the NE HQ.
Or whatever joint we're boozing in at the time. I guess in reality, we've got a mobile HQ....keeps the "man" off our backs! heh heh.
See ya tmrw Mayor, although the 10.00 start time is a bit tuff on a school nite with a 2 hour drive to get home!
But hey, waitiki in Boston...how can I miss it?

That's easy: It's a weeknight, Boston is 75 minutes from home when I'm sober and I have a day job at a company where I'm not the president!

Scottes - I'm certainly up for a Rum tasting. Just name the time and place and I'll (try) to be there.
Well I'm happy I read the Mayor's post about the late start tomorrow night. 9 was rough for me and I didn't want to haul up to Boston just to get there late. Now 10 is a whole other story. I can make it there in time for the first tune! Work at 7 the next morning will suck but sometimes work at 7 just has to suck. See you tomorrow night!!!

i vote for number 2.
as far as the accreditation goes , i'll have to check with the Compliance Department at O.K.U. Word has it that some certifications in mixology were "bought" via bribes in the form of rum samples. I'm not sure how this happened (I wasn't sober at the time) nor do I know where the OKU Puh-Lease department was either, but word has it this will be debated and discussed at the Beehive.
By the way, WAITIKI is still impacting (and compacting the asses of) some people in the South End who apparently complaimed and were offended by some fruit sacrifices that the Mayor made to the Gauds last time we played there. To appease these offendees (also the name of the attackers or attacantes in portuguese futbol), we will primarily do a music only show in public but between sets, we will try to be ass offensive as we normally are.

And then what about Okonkuluku university Tiki Cocktailogy 101?

Don't wait for me. I like Myers' and Pusser's. Expensive rum makes me sad. I drink it and think: "Waaah! This rum is costing me a fortune. I hate it."

Well, for $5 you can at least try some of the good stuff.
But I was thinking more of have you lead Tiki Cocktailogy 101.... I mean, after your bartending course you are The Man.
