And since Ben-gee isn't going, that means I'll only get slapped half as much!!
And kissed.

No Boobam Ben means paper wallets are safe this year, and the rum supply should last twice as long.

My bad.....
Black Magic is $12.50, Rum Barrel and Mutiny are both $13.
I was thinking about the Sidewinder's Fang which is $19.50. It serves two so is not part of the Happy-Hour 2 for 1 (it is already 2 drinks).

This is kind of an off the wall question, but if you are not staying at the Sheraton (or the Bahi Mar), where is the closest public parking place near the Sheraton?
Thanks
Luke

The Clipper offers valet parking for a fee. The Bahia Cabana offers valet parking, or if you have good parking karma there is street parking in the area behind the Cabana.
There is public parking on the beach accross from the Bahai Mar, but it closes at about 10 pm and you will be locked in after that time. Tiki Kiliki should just about be living there at this stage of planning so maybe she can confirm when the public parking lot closes.....

THANK YOU!! Last year I stayed at the Clipper, so I didn't pay much attention to the surrounding parking areas, but I vaguely recalled there was very little.
Thanks again!

Public parking closes at 2 AM and reopens at 6 AM. The Beach parking is $6 during the day and drops to $4 after a certain time in the evening.
The Sheraton yankee clipper has self parking in the garage for guests as part of your stay. Local folks who plan on staying past the close of beach parking can park there too, but its at premium rate. $20 something after a certain amount of hours of your car being there. Call the hotel for details. When I knew I was staying late, I parked there anyway to avoid the towing post 2 AM at beach parking.

I think that was about 3 am Saturday we were standing in the Atlantic drinking rum and watching the tow truck yank cars out of the beach lot. Some patrons of the full moon drum circle were running after the tow truck. 
The Cabana is very popular on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and the valet fills up by 4:30-5 pm from what I noticed over the last 4 years. They park 'em 3 deep in many spots. Parking was included in our stay there, and most times I told them to park me where they wouldn't need to move it. Flying this year, so no parking worries!

Awwww Dang...I'm getting so pumped up for the festivities I'm already having a hard time sleeping. A co-carver and I are bringing our last Tiki Bar with us and some Tikis for our stay at the Clipper but can't stay for the JetSetter...I have to travel back to Tampa and be ready to fly out on Monday AM.
WaiTiki just played here a couple of weeks ago and was a lot of fun. They opened up for a local radio stations annual concert event and used some of our Tikis as stage props. It was really funny when they pointed out one of my guys teeth and told everyone that those teeth server a main purpose...efficiently eating water mellons, which is a much needed supplement for a regular diet of charred mammal flesh.
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all there!
Aloha,
Scott

Hey locals. Have any of you been to the rotating bar in the top of the Phillips 66 building down from the Clipper? It sounds like it could be fantastic. Is it?

If I'm able to show up on Thursday it wont be until late in the evening. Considering the parking issue, should I even bother? Is there any chance of scoring public parking within walking distance?
