Menehune in the HOUSE
Ben, Chris and I went to Trader Vic's last night for some booze and grub, and it was CHOICE.
First it was booze because we got there "WAY early" according to the girl at the hostess station when we arrived to let them know that we were here, but that we'd be back at our reservation time, but if they had an opening before then, to let us know. Needless to say, THAT didn't happen.
I was drinking some of Queen Charlotte's Fruit Punch (non-alcoholic) because I was driving, but thankfully it was still served in a coconut, so I felt VERY festive. I'm also very ticked that they don't sell these coconuts, because I would make it my beverage container of choice for everything thereafter.
That's Chris with my Menehune that came with Ben's Menehune Juice. He's cute and has a nice bare bottom.
These pictures were from the beginning of our time in the main dining area. It was our first time actually eating there, we'd gone before just to partake in the awesome adult beverages and bar food. The cheese balls are DIVINE, and so is the Beef Cho Cho.
We had an awesome time, and it was like being thrown back into the fifties. I wanted to put on a grass skirt and do the hula by the time the night was over.
The other cool thing was that my cell phone got NO reception inside the actual dining room. Which may be accidental, or they may work like the Las Vegas Sportsbook and scramble reception so as not to disrupt the ambiance of the dining room. Either way, it was rad.
So if you like 50's Tiki cool chic and old reruns of Gilligan's Island, check out Trader Vic's. But make sure you make a reservation through OpenTable.com, because you aren't about to just walk in and get a table.
To all my Vegas peeps, don't worry, they are opening a Trader Vic's there in September of this year!

Looks like a fun time, I hope to catch up with you kids in San Diego. Sorry about the non-communication about CCA, stuff fell into my lap that I could not pass up right now. Hope you don't hate me too much.
Well, since you didn't have your pants on for half the night it was impossible NOT to notice!
ZING!
Ryan, we're not going to SDCC this year! :(
We're the saddest Halls EVER. And it's cool about CCA. I'll email you.
