Aaaah...

Forbidden Island in Alameda is a holy place.

When I found my religion... just before my hordes conquer the Earth blindly in my name... I'm naming Forbidden Island my Mecca.

I enjoyed a couple of mai tais there and watched some Gilligan's Island reruns. Good clean fun there.

I couldn't con anyone into accompanying me (probably 'cause I decided to do this last minute). Oddly enough, I ran into a co-worker there. It was amusing.

And the drinks were superb.
