Kelly Hiphipahula'sTonga Hut Parties 2009-2012 Farewell pg.42

We managed to bowl over (flaming even) Kelly “HipHiPaHulA” Reilly with her 1 Year Anniversary Surprise Party at Tonga Hut on 9/5/2010. Thanks to all who showed up for this fun-filled event!

"I'm so surprised! Thank you for my beautiful tiara Eric."

"I'm the queen of all bartenders at Tonga Hut!"

The crowd: "Speech, speech!"
Kelly: "Now suck 'em up, and go home!"

There's Kelly's cake before she blew out her flaming lime shell (you can barely see the flame).
Maybe next year she'll get two lime shells.
Hey, is that a new Tonga Hut menu on the bar?

"Happy Anniversary Kelly!"

"Hey, I know that dude."

It's Marty Lush and Dean

Big Brown Nut...

Capt. R.H. Falernum tells me "Hey, I'm the guy taking photos for this event,"
while JOHN-O hunts for more prospects to join him on his next awesome TC Crawl.

I guess it's true, here's some proof. So, where are those photos?

"So, you've been working here for like, a whole month now?"

"Let's see how far we can kick this stool."

Marty Lush: "My foot is stuck, I can't move it!"

Jeremy serenading Scott, Eric, and Manuel.

GROG moves Misha into instant "Playboy Bunny" status.
Hey, is that a new Tonga Hut menu?

"I know it's only air guitar, but it still sounds horrible!"

"Fine! I'll start singing then."

Awesome card, cookie, and decorations by Eric October. Thanks Eric!

Was that a new Tonga Hut menu?

Thanks Tonga Tom for organizing this great celebration of Kelly's fantastic year of mixological adventure!

Here are a few of my snaps from the evening...

The crowning of (Her Royal Majesty) Kelly...

The red velvet (classy!) cake topped with a beautiful Tonga Hut Moai cookie (made by Eric October/Tobunga) and some flaming 151.

There was a nice, handmade card too...

A great selection of wonderful people showed up to celebrate...

The fate of the Tonga Hut Moai cookie?!

Now we know why Tonga Tom would rather take photos rather than be in photos.
And what the hell's going on in the background?

Be right back... stayed tuned...
