    You’d think that after searching for 6 years for all things Mai Kai I would have seen every postcard there was. No. This one appeared on Ebay a few weeks ago. More things to try to find!

  • Mai Kai Gals - Argosy Magazine 1964

    The one great thing I credit myself with in the whole Hukilau event, is being able to promote and in some ways really help make the Mai Kai more well known and popular. We all love the place, but I love the people that run it. They are the best. The staff as well. Mai Kai.

    I noticed there was not a good set of images of this magazine article on the web, so I thought I’d scan it and put it out there for everyone.

     

     

     

    Considering all the images of this Barrel of Rum mug, you’d think they would be around, but I have seen this mug on Ebay once in maybe 5 years.
     

     

     

     

    Is that me in that aloha shirt? Maybe at Hukilau?
