I'm lettin' the cat out of the bag...

Since the Bash I've been contacted by the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas's VP of Entertainment/Creative Services. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas is very interested in sponsoring next year's Tiki Bash with a tikified poolside prelude leading up to a full-on tiki concert at "The Joint" hopefully headlined by Brian Setzer. Trader Vic's will again be present, too!

As it stands, the Farm will be coordinating all branded merchandise & artists cooperation as well as helping out in general grounds decor and event "flow". Although the Bash was fun, the "flow" could have been better - I learned a few things for sure.

If you're familiar with the Hard Rock's poolside grounds, then you know that it is primed for a major tiki invasion. A labyrinth of swim-up bars & gaming tables, lagoons, sandy beaches, streams, 2 stages, underwater speakers, palapa huts & giant palms are what you'll find poolside.

The date is tentatively set for the Saturday of Easter Weekend. I should receive the final word by mid-week... it's not definite yet so for now I'm just waiting for an answer. The event will be renamed and all future events will take on the new name:

MONDO TIKI

Best,
Holden
