So sorry to hear about this as well. Mike is an absolute great guy! The Hula Girls are already booked at Don's on the 17th, but we'd love to do what we can for the event.

We will be there because like many others I consider Mike extended ohana. His absence at Tiki Oasis this year was felt before we even got there. He usually calls me when we are in route all fired up, asking when we will be arriving since he is usually already poolside and in full on Tiki Oasis mode. Mike is the most energetic, positive, stoked guy I know and his laugh and energy is contagious. Mike can go anywhere and make it fun . When I first got the news I had a hard time processing it. I went through a lot of stages of grief. Then I remembered who we are talking about. Mike is not somebody that is just going to throw up his hands and surrender. Mike is a hard charger and if anybody can conquer this bullshit, he’s da guy!!! So along with our positive thoughts and energy we should all look forward to many more good times with our friend Mike. Because in his words and I quote. “I can do anything im Mike Fuckin Adler”. Love that guy!!!!!!!

Like Mongoloid I noticed Mike was not poolside this year at Tiki Oasis. Every year I'm greeted by that big Mike Adler smile and that Mike Adler energy. Later that day I was told why Mike was not there, Oasis was just not the same without ya. Your In my prayers and in my thoughts Mike. And yeah you are Mike Fuckin' Adler!!

Mike is the real deal. Great Family Guy who always has a smile on his face. I wish the Adler Family all my best and look forward to seeing Mike running security again next May.
But maybe letting the owners of the hotel through this time.
I send all my positive energy your way and best wishes.
Its not a party without you my friend.

I agree with Rory. That picture was one of many great parties we threw in room 135 at the Caliente Tropice for Tiki Caliente 2.
Mike, we'll be seeing you soon. Fight the good fight!

Mike is one of the best people I've ever met. He's made me laugh about a thousand times and has made every single event I've attended with him a blast. Mike is a great person and a close friend to many of us. Make sure to save the date and come out and show your support for Mike and his family. He will beat this.

What I plan on doing and my suggestion is if you plan on donating for the raffle, purchase an item from Mikes shop on your way to the fundraiser @ 231 Main Street Seal Beach, CA 90740 (562) 598-1600. (It's only about 3 miles from Dons) and that way Mike will benefit twofold. Lots of tiki mugs, and artists such as Shag, Derek Yaniger, Big Toe, Doug Horne, Heather Watts & Wade Koniakowsky & more.
