Aloha to everyone and a big thank you to those who attended the party!

A lot of creative thinking, a good amount of elbow grease and an excellent group of new tiki enthusiasts made for a most enjoyable and memorable Tiki party. Enchanted by exotica music and surrounded by tiki decor, cold tiki drinks were enjoyed and many festive conversations were had as the pig roasted and the palm trees swayed. After a delicious island themed feast, the lights dimmed, the torches were lit and a darker, more exotic atmosphere permeated the celebration. Finally, after serving many more drinks to our guests and even offering a few of them as sacrifice to the volcano smile, the time sadly approached for torch lit farewells and dreams of future exotic revels to come.

The effort was not perfect in every sense, but the enthusiasm was plentiful and the intent was sincere. In addition to The Book of Tiki, generously donated copies of Tiki Magazine were also on hand that delighted and enlightened many an attendee. Because of this, the world of Tiki has been opened to some and further explored by many others.

Thanks for the kind words Fink. It was great being able to chat some more with you and throw around some ideas for future tiki revels.

Oh, and one last party related item. Our enthusiasm got the best of my friends and I and we bought about twice as much party supplies as we used. Therefore, at the suggestion of a few of our guests, we'll not be taking down decorations and boxing up tiki mugs. Nosireebob! Don't hang up your leis just yet. We're oiling up the torches, cutting up more fruit for garnish and our humble tiki party, featuring Eleio's Lost Island Lounge, will have one last summer hurrah! Mark your calendars as we'll be offering our final dose of aloha attitude on Saturday, August 5th for *Tiki Party 2: Exotica Boogaloo (6:30pm-?). No costs for drinks (donations will be accepted if we begin to run a little dry) and we'll be offering the best Chinese that will deliver to the site (donations will be gratefully accepted).

What can I say? We don't want the magic to end.

Anyway, thanks again and Mahalo!

*If sane minds prevail, we may not call the party by this name.
