We had, like, totally the best time at the Rude Mechanicals' annual fund-raising shindig this past Saturday, the Magnum P. Eye Ball. Hosted by Jonathan Quayle Higgins III, of course, the island-themed event featured local music icon Graham Reynolds of The Golden Arm Trio spinning period tunes. Meanwhile, numerous dudes walked around in mullets, mustaches and Hawaiian shirts, and several screens played different Magnum P.I. adventures.
The night even included the chance to ride "The Mustache"—a brief encounter with a bigger-than-life, black-velvet ‘stache. Of course, imbibing sweet “Red Ferraritinis” from Rick’s King Kamehameha Club probably enhanced the 5-buck ride. And although we didn’t win the fabulous vintage metal yellow duck at the silent auction, the winner was kind enough to let us kiss this coveted prize a sweet good-bye. You know, for luck.
We hope the Mechs who missed the party while touring Get Your War On at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival also had a fab a Saturday night. It certainly appears the Fringe likes them!

Mad Gringo is sad to have missed the Magnum P Eye party. That sounds like a riot. TC, Rick and Higgins? Man. Zeus, Apollo, PATROL!
