Aloha!

I will be in LA for work with Gary Sinise and the Lt Dan Band this weekend.

I made my flight to LA for the afternoon of the 1st (the rest of the band arrives onthe morning of the 3rd) just so I could meet up at Tiki Ti on a Wednesday with the local ohana. I also want to swing by Trader Vic's for a final Mai Tai before they close it up.

Here's my revised itinerary for this coming week:

Wednesday, November 1st
Land at LAX, get my car, go straight to Purple Orchid (by 6:00)

Tiki Tiki at about 8:30

A quick peek into Lava Lounge after Tiki Ti.

Thursday November 2nd
Lunch at Bahooka, then drive around and see some of the LA Tiki spots that I have missed over the years, like some of the apartment buildings and some of the googie stuff, probably stop at 8-Ball and Wacko... whatever. If anyone is up for this please PM me or email, it'd be fun to have some company on this mission.

Then:
Happy hour at Trader Vic's at about 5:30.

A quick swing by Tonga Hut to get an update on their latest (8:00)

Bigfoot lounge by 10:00 (just because I like it there).

On either or both nights, call my evil cell to confirm present whereabouts (or just show up - I am going to make a real effort to stick to this schedule). PM me if you need my cell number.

Then I have to go to work:

3rd
Private party for CSI TV show cast

4th
Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, CA

5th
Coach House in San Juan Capistrano

...the first show is private, but the other two are open to the public. Come on by and rock out, maaaan.

It looks like I'll be crashing at the hotel near Tiki Ti, as recommended by humuhumu (below post).

Hope to see many of you Weds or Thurs (or Sat or Sun!).
