Sweetpea: Good to hear from you again! I have your "business" card and have always wondered what was up with you.

The Lo-Cal posse & jungle trader: Look forward to having you people up to our fair city.

The itinerary sounds good to me (we'll have to see what Hanford & Mig want). So Friday at Vic's/Smiley's, Saturday Randy's/Martin's/Crawl. Sunday=?

Thurs: I think it will be too quiet to open my place, but we had an Ape concert last year, so some kind of pre-party should be in order for those who will be around.

Friday: Sounds great, but we should get a feel for how many people are interested in dinner at Vic's so we can make a reservation for one of the private rooms. 10? 20? 40? Last year there were too many people for the room booked.

Saturday: I'm happy to open the Grotto, but I'm a little worried about the time situation. Will we have enough time to have a drink at my house after people have dinner and get to the Tonga before the cover charge? I'm just assuming that Mig/Hanford will want to start at the Tonga again. Of course, we'll be close to Sam's, so it might be better to start there, especially as it gets so crowded later in the night.

Regardless, I'll take care of renting the bus. It seats 22-24 people, and it will be a blast. It can start at my place, and drop people off around SF at the end of the night. I'll get the costs and everyone can transfer funds to me in advance with PayPal. This thing is expensive, and there's no way I'm getting stuck with the bill, so this will be a case of pay in advance or forget it. A little Denny on the stereo, a little Hawaiian Eve on the VCR, and we'll be all good. Mmmm...tiki bus.

Sunday: Hangover Lunch somewhere?

That's it for now. Shouldn't this thread be in Tiki Events?
