Aloha y'all....

Just wanted to post a quick update on the return of Trader Vic's to Scottsdale.

Fact: The official opening date will be June 4th, 2006...a Sunday :(
Fact: There will be a big (private) wingding for the owners and their special guests on the 3rd
Fact: I will be meeting with the Trader Vic's folks tomorrow to gather more facts about a good time for us all to show up and will keep y'all posted

But here's what I am thinking....since the opening day is a Sunday, and it seems like a lot of folks would like to come out for this, and most of you have jobs, kids, pets, etc that you have to attend to during the week, then perhaps we shoot for the following weekend for our little 'ting...June 8-11th.

I spoke with the hotel and the would love to have us that weekend. They are working up killer rates, so sit tight and watch for more details, and whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT call the hotel or book direct on their web site. I am working on group rates, which will be lower than what you can get through the net, but in order to do that, I need to play by the hotel's rules (ie provide a rooming list, etc).

I should have the agreement today and will post the rates later this evening. Although the Hotel Valley Ho will be the host hotel and will be where all of the action is, I am also looking into securing rates at two other hotels within walking distance in the event you spent all of your hard earned $$$$ at Oasis and would rather stay at a more price conscious location so you have more $$$ to spend at Trader Vic's..........so, that's all the news that's fit to print....more to follow.

Mahalo and have a lovely day, y'all!

P.S. Since this event is not really affiliated with the Kon Tiki, I'll try to start another thread for the Scottsdale event, so please look for new info there....mahalo
