Aloha everyone

After some shakiness with the February and March Tabu Tiki nights events, I am pleased to announce that AJ (Trader Vic's general manager) has reworked some things in a manner that guarantees the future of the event through 2005!

Unfortunately, entertainment will consist of only a band OR hula dancers each month, but other than having to alternate between these two entertainments, the event will be back to normal, as of this month's event on April 20.

We have some new stuff in store too, such as some free swag to give away, and a new monthly drink special (the "drink of the month"), which will be a new drink every month, specially invented just for that night's event.

The Cocktail Preachers will be back this month for their first Tabu Tiki appearance since November. This event will be their CD release party, and ALL Tabu Tiki night attendees get a FREE Cocktail preachers CD!

Come on by April 20!

The version of the above as posted on the web site...

Tabu Tiki Nights is held on the third Wednesday of every month at Trader Vic's in Chicago.

There was some confusion with the February and March events, but everything has been worked out, and the event is back on track, rock solid, and will be happening as scheduled through 2005!

Remaining 2005 dates
(live entertainment schedule TBA):
April 20,
May 18,
June 15,
July 20,
August 17,
September 21,
