Tiki Ti at 5:30 pm Friday night. I can hear voices inside coming from the fan portholes above the door.
I pound on the door, "Hey Mike, it's Tim, can I come in early to take some pictures before you open the door?" Someone pounds back.
I try again. It's getting Fing cold out here.
Mike Sr finally invites me in and I start taking pictures.
"Thats quite a rum collection you have Mike "
Have you been to Forbidden Island? Mike asks me. "Martin has almost two hundred rums, now that's a collection."
Mike suggests I get some pictures of the art work in the women's room before the door opens. "Guys usually don't get to see those"
Just as I leave the women's room I get glared at by a customer striding in the second they open the door. She gives me a WTF were you doing in there look.
The bar stools are instantly taken, within 10 seconds all 12 are claimed.
Do you have any flaming drinks I ask? "The Lapu Lapu used to be a flaming drink until there was an accident one time" I tell them about Unga's Tiki Crawl Kinko's incident in October. "That's why we don't serve them here anymore" laughs Mike.
Unga Bunga arrives and I give him a Kinko's card for a momento of that Tiki Central webcast he made famous that night. Hakalugi looks on.
I remember watching it live, like Memorex, well almost. It was live though.
I had a small pile of pictures on the table from the Las Vegas Trader Vic's for people to enjoy, I mean appreciate?
No, that's the wrong word too.
We... goofed on them, yeah, that's it! Goofed on them (way to go Doc) Vic would be...
Is it just me or does this look like a hospital waiting room?
My pocket Tiki and I went in checked out the bar. I can't repeat his comments here.
I asked the LVTV manager this week, "Isn't head candy a nickname for cocaine?"
Haole'Akamai forgot her clown suit (so she says) so no Voodoo Priestess in honor of poor Andy.
A moment of silence for poor Andy who loved Tiki and the Scottish Clown Doctor's.
Hanford gives Haole a special Monolux edition of the game of Life and her very own paper wallet.
Bigbro and Naomi show up without the bug infested carving so no pictures of it.
Tigerlily recounted the sand storms endured at Burning Man this year.
Lots of cool pictures you got there Tigerlily (Yeah, I want to pay $300.00 to camp for a week in the burning desert) But then again, hundreds of nude women on bikes at once?
Maybe I 'd go with a RV.
My childhood friend and fellow urban archeologist surprised me and showed up.
Doc Shocker, Rob Roy and Ickabod from the Cult of the Eyestopped by one the way to some shriner meeting I guess.
The Fedora Gang and friends.
PhiPiRo and Hanford.
Whale Rider and Sperm Whale
Tigerlily, her friend and Grog.
John Paul and Bigtikidude.
Gil the Tiki Ti webmaster and friemd.
Are you kidding me?
Haole'Akamai shows how to correctly model a new Eye of the Goof mug.
Did anyone ever see that British movie How to get ahead in Advertising? Theres something about this photo? Anyone remember it besides me?
I spotted Kirby across the room and some other TCers kept Unga out of trouble.
Tiki Ti patrons helped to make it impossible for me to navigate so I was off to Safari Sam's to join the others.
The drink menu on the way out ( I knew it was time to go)
Spotted these cards on the wall.
Happy New Year Humu Humu we all missed you there.
I had wanted to make this the first OJTV webcast on Justin but couldn't get it all together yet. EVDO. 3G, Wi Fi, I ended up saying WTF,
I'll do it this spring. So pictures are better than nothing.
