Well, finally recovered from Tikiyaki Airlines New Years flight enough to post these pics. What a great night! Tiki friends, Big Tiki Dude spinning great tunes in the treehouse, the Eliminators and then Tikiyaki Orchestra Airlines. Thanks to Marie for being the hostess with the mostest and Art for saving this Tiki palace. Time to get this place declared a historic site

Moai Mafia in full effect.

Wow, what a great night! My girlfriend Cristine and I had a blast! The bands sounded great and the drinks were nice and tasty. We had a great time with out table mates Patty, Jeff, Sharon, Mongoloid (Cory), Mrs. Mongoloid (Susan) & El Jefe (Jeff), who fought the shrimp admirably. I was also lucky enough that my girlfriend won me the Awesome Rum Barrel print donated by the talented Jonpaul Balak. I told Cristine I was hoping to win that all night!
Here are the photos Cristine took!
And last but not least, my awesome girlfriend with the kick ass print!

Hey, Gogo--Thanks for posting the pix! We, too, had a great time but that's a given whenever The Tikiyaki Orchestra is in the hut. And thanks a mil for the awesome Wahine Bowl. Julia & me are looking forward to sharing more Mai Tais in it with you & Dani!

WOW - has it really already been a WEEK? Well, it did take about three days to recover... 
Jeff's "appropriate background music" was just right, The Eliminators rocked (the tune Pool Party is a new favorite for us), and the Tikiyaki Orchestra delivered a first class performance, as always. As for the venue, Don's really outdid themselves with the festive ambiance, and like Mongoloid, I too had always longed to be at an event where they had balloons fall from the ceiling at midnight. Needless to say, I was totally geeked out when I saw them suspended above us!
The food couldn't have been more delicious, from the salad, all the way to the dessert (what I wouldn't give for one of those chocolate lava cakes at this moment). One might expect the quality of food to suffer a bit at an event of that magnitude, but that wasn't the case at all.
Marie absolutely lived up to her reputation as the hardest working woman in the tiki business, and it was clear that all of the Don's staff and management were jumping through hurdles to guarantee everyone's comfort. Mission accomplished, my friends!
Last, but not least, we were seated with a lovely mix of people (you know who you are!), and made some swell new friends as a result. Special props to Paul and Dana for providing all the combustible party favors. We DID have the best table.
We took pitifully few pics as our battery was near dead, but here's what we've got....
Happy New Year!

You know what I am realizing about the Event at Dons for NYE.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!
ok so it was a bit of money,
But from all the reviews,
seems like it was a smashing success.
And Everybody had a great time,
and the Food,drinks,service,and music,were all spectacular.
Kudos to all involved, and to all who sacked up and actually payed and came.
You all rule!!

Thanks Jeff. Right you are about getting what you pay for too. NYE at Don's to me was like that Mastercard commercial. Everything was stellar that cool night. Here is one of my favorites , Tikiyaki Orchestra playing their new Singapore Swing. Awesome song Tikiyaki!
