This year, as in the past, the Los Angeles/Orange County area is full of out-of-towners here before Tiki Oasis. The events in the week leading up to Oasis are a great chance to meet fellow tikiphiles before the crush of the main shindig in Palm Springs. Here's an at-a-glance summary of what's going down in this happenin' town:

Friday, April 29:
King Kukulele's Tiki Taix, at Taix French Restaurant in Echo Park (east of Hollywood in Los Angeles)

**Saturday, April 30: **
Fisherman's Vibraphonic Trio at the Purple Orchid in El Segundo (west of Los Angeles, just south of LAX)

Sunday, May 1:
Huntington Beach Pier Rock & Stroll in Huntington Beach, west Orange County

Fisherman's Vibraphonic Trio at The Pike in Long Beach, south Los Angeles, north Orange County

DJ Lee's Exotica Night at the Lucky Tiki in Mission Hills, west San Fernando Valley, north Los Angeles

Tuesday, May 3:
Fisherman's Vibraphonic Trio at the Lava Lounge, Hollywood, Los Angeles

Wednesday, May 4:
Wednesday Night at Tiki-Ti in Silver Lake, east of Hollywood, Los Angeles

Thursday, May 5:
Fisherman's Vibraphonic Trio at the Continental Room in Fullerton, Orange County

Also, if you're driving from this area out to Palm Springs, consider a stop at Bahooka in Rosemead (east of Los Angeles) for lunch, and a visit to Oceanic Arts in Whittier (also east of Los Angeles)... they're more or less on the way. I'll be making my way out Thursday, I wouldn't be surprised if a caravan of some sort was organized over drinks at Tiki-Ti on Wednesday.

See you all soon!
