Mahalo for checking out FI. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it Thursday night. I'm on Tues, Wed, Sun this week.
Also FYI, Tonga Room is closed for renovations. (Don't panic. Yet.)
Sounds like a good trip!

I just wrapped up here so I will head out to Forbidden Island at about 5:30. How long should it take to get there in a cab from Mason & O'Farrel in town?

About 45 minutes. Prime time traffic and the cab will be expensive. Instead, take BART to Fruitvale and cab it from there -about 25 minutes.

Even better, take BART to downtown Oakland-Broadway station. It's closer to FI and cabs are plentiful at Broadway and 13th.

You coming over to Forbidden Island tonight, Matt? It's Tiki Central night tonight, so a few of us will be there. And they have a DJ there tomorrow (Thursday), that will be spinning good music - you should check that out as well, it's good and the place will be hoppin'.

I'll probably take BART from Powell to Oakland and then catch a cab. Should leave here at about 5:30 this afternoon.

Hey Matt, where are ya? I had a touch of food poisoning yesterday, so I couldn't make it over to Forbidden Island, but I'm gonna swing by there in a few to see if you're around. My out of town plans got cancelled, so if you're not at FI tonight, then a few of us will try to meet you tomorrow night. Cheers!

Heading out to Alameda this morning to stay at Marina Village Inn. I'll be doing the tourist thing today Kona Club, Vic's grave, and Conga Lounge. Early supper at TV's in Emeryville then to Forbidden Island to meet up for Falin's birthday.

I look forward to tipping a mug with you, Matt. We should be there around 6 and will most likely stay a long while. We are also ordering some pizza if you're still hungry. Any TC people should stop by and have a slice with us.
Pizza and mai tais--YEP!
