Well that was a killer 1-2 punch to start the holiday season. A great Tiki Wonderland party and the work that went into the Tonga Hut's grand re-opening...wow. Clearly a lot of hard work and passion went into both efforts from a lot of people. Outstanding work and mahalo to all involved! I'm already looking forward to heading back tonight to see some of the details I missed last night.

Did they change something at the Tonga Hut? GROG not notice.
Another fun Tiki Wonderland!
Thanks vendors for braving the winds and putting stuff out to start the Christmas shopping season. Thanks everybody who came out to join us for the Grand re-opening. Thanks Amy and Jeremy and all the people who worked so hard to get the Tonga Hut opened in time for the event (especially dibroc). Thanks Joe Banks and Tobunga for the poster.
Thanks Tonga Hut staff for serving up the tasty cocktails. And, big thanks to Glasgow Tiki Shakers who were awesome as always. GROG hope we can get ya'll to play there again.
Thanks to Appleton for the Rum tasting.
And personal thanks from GROG to Atomikitty, and Jenny? (with the Betty Page bangs) for rocking the cleavage and a big thanks to Kari's top button on her blouse for popping off while GROG sitting next to Kari.
Oh yeah, and also thanks for the people who participated in the cookie contest, they were all really good! Kari (Tangaroa Ru) defended her crown with Best Tasting Cookies, and Tobunga busted out another masterpiece with his Best Looking Cookies. Be sure and get your free drink at the Tonga Hut if you didn't already redeem it, and GROG have Moai Salt and Pepper Shakers for you winners next time GROG see you (GROG left them in GROG' other jacket at home, so GROG does have some ready for you).
Oh, and also thanks OceaOtica for bringing the the snacks and keeping us fed.

Thanks so much to Grog and the Tonga Hut bunch for a nice chill time, so great to see folks before i go underground again, really dug the new interior and the Glasgow Tiki Shakers. A big thanks as well to Kenny for keeping me loaded with cigarettes and to Tiki Tony for the demonstration on how to surf
