This is the Mai Kai.

This is the Mystery Drink.

It is served in the Mystery Bowl.

It is presented Mysteriously by a Lovely Hula Maiden.

This drink is being enjoyed tonight in celebration of birthdays. Several of them in fact. And if your birthday is about this time of year, Happy Birthday to you. You should go to the Mai Kai with all of your friends and order a Mystery Drink.

You will enjoy it.

I promise!

The Eighth Annual Hukilau was this past weekend, a three day event that culminates in a big party at the Mai-Kai Restaurant in Ft Lauderdale. This years events included a seminar entitled "A Mai Tai Paternity Test" by Beachbum Berry.

Said event was at the Mai-Kai on Friday afternoon, treating the guests to not only an informative show from the Bum but a very welcome respite from the afternoon heat.

Since the show was in the afternoon, well before the Mai-Kai normally opens, there was a question of staffing the bar to make the two specific cocktails the Bum was presenting. Since we consider the Bum to be one of our friends (he may not consider us the same after our 'special presentation at the end) we volunteered to help out.

As you can see from the huge smile on Andy's face, the ability to simultaneously help out the Bum AND work in the most magical of magical places for a pair of Rummys like ourselves will be one of the stories we tell your grand kids when we get old(er).

If you missed the Hukilau, you'll just have to live vicariously through pictures until next year. Until then.......

The FOM flags return to South Florida just in time for the 2007 Hukilau. Here it is being unrolled in the Molokai bar inside of the "Mighty Mai-Kai." That would be me on the left and Capt'n Skully on the right.
