Mai Tai One On

Hmm, maybe this is one for Huell Howser to answer. An editor I once interned for is putting together a book about the famed Mai Tai, and is looking for personal stories that somehow involve the sweet, rum cocktail.

In the summer of 1992 I interned for both Hawaii Business magazine and Aloha magazine; at the time, the now-defunct Aloha mag (which was geared toward mainland tourists) was edited by Cheryl Chee Tsutsumi.

Now a travel writer, Tsutsumi is looking for tales of first Mai Tais, romantic experiences while drinking a Mai Tai, funny stories, etc. Anyone with an interesting story will be credited in the book -- drop me a line and I'll forward the info.
