Join us for our "inaugural" 2009 happy hour bash and celebrate a brighter future for all (including, hopefully, The Wreck Bar). Click to the end of this thread for more details.
****************************************************
Original post:
We know, it's only been a few weeks but we're already getting a mermaid/Mai-Kai/rockabilly jones, so why not just do it? Return to the scene of the crime (Fort Lauderdale) for the first Mermaids & Mai-Kai gathering!
On Friday, July 11, at 5 p.m. we meet at The Wreck Bar at The Yankee Clipper on Fort Lauderdale beach for happy hour (cheap drinks and appetizers) and the mermaid show at 5:30.
Then, around 6, it's off to the Mai-Kai for more happy hour (one 2-4-1 drink and half-priced appetizers until 7) and live rockabilly from Slip & the Spinouts (you may have caught them at The Wreck Bar during Hukilau). If that's not enough, it's Ladies Night all night.
One disclaimer: Marina (the official mermaid of The Wreck Bar) won't be joining us on July 11 but she assures me that her able protege, Kami, will put on a great show. And Marina hopes to join us for our August gathering.
Hopefully we can make this a monthly tradition, as long as the mermaids keep swimming and the Mai-Kai keeps rocking on Friday nights. Aloha!

Having missed the Hukilau this year, missing this reunion, so soon afterward, is all the more melancholy. I hope you all will take pity on us who are cursed by distance, and take lots of pics, perhaps even some video. This way, we can sort of get our vicarious attendance thing on. It's great to know that this great establishment is not being taken for granted by the locals. Thanks!

For those of you planning on visiting the Wreck Bar to see Kami swim, may I suggest you take advantage of the Valet Service.... You may not make it to the Mai-Kai in time to catch Happy Hour otherwise.

A couple updates:
* We're comfirming our next gathering for Friday, Aug. 8. Slip & the Spinouts will be back at the Mai-Kai and Marina will be swimming at The Wreck Bar.
Whoever can't make it this Friday we hope to see you in August! Spread the word.
* And if you're not doing anything Saturday, July 12, be sure to check out the opening of the Tiki Fine Art Show (the same works that were on display at Hukilau) at the Harold Golen Gallery in Miami:

One more reason to attend the Aug. 8 party: That night is also Tiki Kiliki's going away dinner at the Mai-Kai. She's leaving us for San Antonio and we want to make sure she gets a proper send-off.
For more info, check out the thread on that event:

Well, bummer. Looks like I'm going to miss you all by one day. I'll be at the Mai-Kai (with family) this Saturday (9-13). If any of you wants to make it a double feature at the Mai-Kai, join us during happy hour Saturday!

As luck would have it hurricane Ike foiled my plans to fly home from florida today, after a short business trip and I am stuck in FL for the evening...oh well, i guess i'll be dropping by for a 2for1 jet pilot!
I wish Mr. Smiley was here with me...
