BULLETIN: THE NW TIKI CRAWL TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS

Tikiphiles, it’s time to start planning your trip to beautiful Portland, Oregon for the 2005 Northwest Tiki Crawl on June 17, 18 & 19!

This email has all the vital information; please see http://www.nwtiki.com for more details. Also check out the NW Tiki Forum at http://forum.nwtiki.com/ to chat with your fellow NW Tiki Crawlgoers.

This year’s NW Tiki Crawl has been expanded and improved, with bigger raffle prizes, more locations and amazing entertainment. Thanks to our generous sponsors—Cruzan Rums, 3D Spirits (makers of VooDoo & Redrum), Tiki Magazine, The Alibi (Portland’s premier tiki bar), The Jupiter Hotel and Munktiki—this year’s crawl will be better than ever.

The entertainment has been enhanced while still preserving last year’s most popular acts. Returning to entertain you this year are the Northwest’s (and Tiki Central’s) own Lushy. DJ Selector Lopaka will also return to spin your favorite in exotica and lounge. Joining us for the first time are Susan and the Surftones. Stay tuned for more entertainment to be added!

We have created a new pricing structure that we hope will accommodate everyone, balancing participation and economy with giving you the fabulous experience of Portland’s unique tiki offerings.

The schedule is currently as follows; visit http://www.nwtiki.com to keep abreast of changes:

Friday, June 17:

Kick off party at Portland’s greatest home tiki bar, Castaway Cove. Enjoy the hospitality of TikiMaxton and Pele, get to know your fellow crawl-goers old and new (7pm to midnight).

Saturday, June 18:

Socialize at one of the West Coast’s preeminent tiki bars, The Alibi. The Alibi is a Portland landmark (and popular karaoke hotspot) filled with original tiki artifacts, a Witcoid bar and the finest in day-glo Hula girl paintings. There you will get your crawl package and badge and enjoy free appetizers. This will also be the time to shop! A variety of tiki vendors will be there to sell their wares. If you’re short on cash, load up on raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the great prizes from our sponsors - Cruzan, Redrum and Munktiki - as well as other art and tiki collectibles (4-8pm).

The Crawl then moves on to Portland’s party tiki bar, Jasmine Tree. Enjoy Jasmine Tree’s superb exotic décor and classic Chinese-American cuisine. Dance the night away to tiki tunes, win something in the raffle, enjoy the company of your fellow tikifans. Although the party ends at the Jasmine Tree at 1am, who knows how long it will last back at our sponsor, The Jupiter Hotel? (9pm-1am)

Sunday, June 19:

This is NW Tiki’s distinctive offering: a tour of the Rose City’s finest private retro and tiki home bars. Ride in quiet comfort (not too early!) in a luxury coach to visit the homes of NW Tikites. Steal their decorating ideas (but not their mugs, please!) for your own home. We will have new locations on this year’s tour (as well as returning favorites) - it is an event not to be missed. Space is limited on the bus (and in the homes) so buy your ticket early. Rums provided by our sponsors, 3D (including Redrum, VooDoo and the new Jolly Roger) and Cruzan rums.
