After some thought and inner debate, I have decided NOT to pursue two Fridays a month at the Islander. My hopes were that the Islander being a Polynesian themed restaurant, I could focus on spinning Exotica and Hawaiian. After last night's gig, I realized that the love was not there for what I really wanted to spin. I filled out the night with Jazz, Latin, Soul, Down Tempo Electronica, and Reggae. The staff appreciated my selections, but it wasn't a set geared toward the tikiphile. This scenario is not what I hoped, so I decided not pursue a regular gig. The manager was cool with my decision, and he agreed on the possibility of future random nights. I send a call out to the Jet City Mucky Mucks and NW TC Ohana for us to plan a tiki gathering at the Islander, with sufficient notice, where I can spin, and we all can socialize. Sound good? I'm still spinning at Thaiku in Ballard on Tuesdays, and will always break out the Exotica and Hawaiian when tiki folk come by.
