Dear members and friends,
Our postponed Stammtisch did finally happen in spite of the advancing tropical storm "Moke" and a few of my miscalculations. Fearing drenching rain I contacted the manager and asked to have our seating moved to a table inside the building. When we arrived there ahead of our crowd we noticed the assigned seating to be only a few feet away from the bar largely crowded by the mostly male bar customers in a dark area. Since I owned a few bars in my lifetime and tended bar in them I thought this would not be good. A helpful manager moved us outside into the courtyard to two tables that were in partial sun which I figured would be shady soon as the sun was to move behind a nearby high-rise. Again I was wrong, the sun had a mind of her own and kept baking us. Now, by luck a few tables in the shade opened up and in the end we found our best spot !
We had a good turn out of 19 guests who appeared to have had a good time as you can see. The staff was courteous and I noticed them to consist of mostly pretty, young women ! One of our great joys was our long time member Bodo's appearance having had major surgery just a short while go. Bravo Bodo !
We welcomed a fellow Austrian, Ms. Sabrina Filzmoser who is a tour helicopter pilot in Honolulu.
While I personally feel that the visit was pricey, we may go there again in the future especially since we now know which table to reserve !
Our thanks go to our photographers Magda Alexander who has just returned from Europe and Renate Rivera. Last but not least, Art Rivera took the picture of the beer brewing vat !
Aloha !
