I need help carrying my garnish.

Pup, nursing wounds of dad's stroke the other day and a good friend/family business partner's simultaneous death, so I won't be there on video as I had planned but I'll send you a housewarming gift in a bit.

For a second I thought I was at a Disney feature or something. Tpups home bar is too cool! I could have stayed all night just relaxing poolside. Good to see you Tpup.

Thanks for having us over Pup. Your Spectacular East Indies Room is a sight to behold. It is clear that you put tons of effort into it. Your food and beverage were top notch.
Good to see all the Southern Cal Tiki Folks again.
3 weekends in a row..... I am worn out.
I am now entering a rum blackout period

It is monday morning, and I am still fishing mai tai cups and champagne corks from the pool skimmer!
Thank you to all who helped make the premier of the Spectacular East Indies Room a memorable evening!
Congratulations to the contest participants & winners! Alnshely won the trivia contest, taking home an autographed Martin Denny album; Iuka Grogg took top honors with his inspirational Mai-Taiku, earning him a nice Coco Joes wall plaque (BOT, p. 187, lower right). The outrageous cocktail garnish event really showed off some bizarre creativity: MTKahuna with the cool beach hut party swizzle; Laney and her shrunken head garnish, complete with shrunken fruit, eyeballs, floating dead babies, and bubbling fog (someone hire Laney to decorate for a baby shower!); and Atomic Cocktail, who had Vintage Girl daintily perched on the edge of a Tiki mug (literally!). They all earned Tiki drink vessels, and bottles of TV rum!
Mrs. Sugarcaddydaddy brought an amazing cake to commemorate the event, featuring the SEIR logo! Thanks much! And thanks to all for the bar warming goodies.... the rum reserves are now well fortified....
The hit drink of the evening was the Typhoon... which, unfortunately, has not yet made it into the ranks of the Grog Log or Intoxica!.... but look for it.... different and tasty!
There were lots of flash bulbs popping, hopefully we'll get to see some pics soon!
Mahalo!

Glad to hear a good time was had by one and all. I was drafted to spend weekend at D-land and the D-land hotel. There was a big Goth gathering there which made it interesting, but not as much as the East Indies Room I'm sure.
I want to see some pictures! Al, Al!

Twas a fine evening, indeed. The Spectacular East Indies Room is a joy to behold. Even the switchplates were tapified. There were many interesting carvings - there was even a (anti)rape god hanging on the ceiling. The mixology was brilliant and the SEIR staff kept the trays stocked with fresh, warm, tasty noshes. I especially loved the lava rock-y poolside waterfall, replete with treasure chest. Thank you to the Pup Team for all of your effort - just to please us tikis. I held up my initial post until this morning, when I hoped to get some pix up; unfortunately I didn't bring the proper cable with me today and dagnabbit, I needed that in order to download the photos! I will get some up tomorrow.

TraderPup!
Thanks for a great party! What a fine house indeed! The SEIR is a great piece of work! The only thing I forgot to find out was....HOW DID THE BACK OF THE WHITE DOOR LOOK??
Great bartending, great drinks! Did someone get a shot of Pup's popular drink "The Typhoon"? The presentation was classic!
Judd, I want a Mai Tai-ku rematch! I was robbed! 
Thanks TraderPup!

TPup,
Thanks for a wonderful shindig. The end of the evening is somewhat of a blur... I hope that I didn't talk anyone into a coma!!!
The place looked great and the food was muy delicioso. The art was fantastic &
to quote Crazy Al, "you have one of the largest cock collections that I have ever seen".
