Senor Frogs
So I attend a very fine establishment known as senor frogs. The bartenders kinda suck at first. There are like 5 people at the bar and they are swamped making all these super huge fruity concoctions. All I want is a beer. So I end up getting a beer, don't worry, I know most of you might have been nervous for me.
So the place is pretty lively, it seems everyone is having a huge party, seriously I'm there alone...and I may be the only one. Most tables are set up to seat like 10 and a few booths are filled with 4-8 people.
I think it's 25% asian, 25% military, 25% hawaiian, and 25% crazy tourists celebrating engagements and bachelor parties...but kind of a fun crowd actually... the attire ranges from I just got off the beach and smell of skunk and salt to hip hop casual to hip hop dressed to all out semiformal wear. I appreciate fine dresses. Also the sizes are in a crazy polarized fashion...50% giganto and 50% petite, i mean petite, like pass out the whopper petite.
so anyways, i end up staying for most of the night, they have a live hawaiian reggae band and a dj and some crazy college stuff going down like free shots and such but not too much.
at like 1am...all of a sudden the DJ stops the place gets dark...a screen comes down.
I'm suddenly watching Michael Jackson's Thriller.
See the pics. I swear this happened.
then like half way through, i turn to my right and there is this zombie on the packed dance floor, jesus christ I did not need to see that mask...anyways another zombie and another are mixing in the crowd... then they make their way on stage and as soon as the thriller zombie sequence is about to come on the screen- it vanishes and instead the bartender and staff dressed as zombies do a live performance of thriller....seriously I really kid you not. Look at the pictures. I was laughing hysterically and then that's about when I said I need to leave and take this all in.
on my way home I realize I have lost my key to my room, which is a real key. Cost 150$ to replace. Nice. I friggin was neurotic about not losing the key the entire week and keeping it out of my right pocket which holds my wallet. I kept fighting myself to keep it on the left keep it on the left pocket.
well i put it in the right and at some point reached for my wallet and lost it.
large Somoan security guard gets me in my room. He turns the corner and he is obviously drunk-happy feeling good. He is singing "We're in this love together we got a love that'll last forever" so I start singing along with him as he gets me in my room.
thanks that I did not lock my valuables in my safe and lose the key, it's open and I have access to things I need.
Maholo

Dave,
well i think i'm caught up w/ your adventures in paradise so far. i can't get over the thriller video performance by the staff, that is awesome!! i would have joined in b/c you know i learned the dance when i was like 9 & i'm usually the only 1 doing it when they sporadically play it around halloween in the clubs here, hahah. your blog is so cool. as usual you are very well written & poetic & you were right, i did burst out into laughter a few times. look out for those "Lolas" on the beach (think about the song), "she walks like a woman, but talks like a man". i'll try to keep up w/ the blog. & i'm in a dilemna about which apartment to tell you to go for. i think the hole in the wall that is close to everything might be the best bet for what you want to experience, but the other one is BEAUTIFUL!!! good luck & let me know how it goes. limoncello is waiting when you return...
