That was REALLY fun at the Tonga. GROG is much nicer in person than you'd ever expect. Can't say much about his driving, though.
Talked to the couple from Ohio and got into a marathon conversation with them and Eric about the coolest spots to visit in LA over the next 3 days. Also cruised through BigTikiDude's 45 collection, which he treats more carefully than I treat my lava-top mugs.
Buzzy held court in Grande Buzz Style, Squid scuttled around then crawled back in the fish tank, and Bowana vanished his BBQ plate like he was in the NASA Clean Room...
Try the Tonga Lei, it de bes'.
