I've been so busy with stuff that I just haven't had time to log on to TC for what seems an age. Great shame that the Luau is postponed but I've been thinking that in the long run it is probably for the best. The past three LONDON LUAUs have been so good that putting the fourth together in a hurry with limited resources probably would have not been a winner. I know what you are thinking...A bad weekend at the LONDON LUAU is better than a good day in the office", but...The LONDON LUAU is special and I for one think it should remain SPECIAL! Now, I know that some people have made arrangements, bought tickets etc. and believe me when I say "that sucks!", but from what I have heard on the grapevine this was not down to lack of effort by the organisers but quite the opposite! Tiki culture (for want of a better phrase) is certainly on the up and it is people such as CHEEKYTIKI who are contributing enormously to this exciting time for us all here in the UK! I know the work they are doing at 'Shangri-la' has over-run due to numerous changes of heart from the client, eating into any spare time these guys might have had to deliver a June Luau. It is all to easy to grt caught up in the fact that the LUAU has been postponed and forget the fact that because of CHEEKYTIKI's hard graft, and love of what they do, there have been three great LONDON LUAUs so far not to mention three fantastic new tiki establishments in the UK! Let's here it for MAHIKI, SUGAR CANE and their new, as yet unfinished creation! From what I've also heard on the grapevine...these won't be the last! Let's here it for the CHEEKYTIKIs..Hip, hip!... As for anyone travelling to London for what was to be the LUAU in June, or any other time of year...GIVE US A SHOUT here on TC as the BRITIKIs would love to, and will, give you a good time...one way or another...that's a promise! I think the 7th is looking likely for a 'tiki luau shindig'! Looking forward to hooking up with you again Captain! All the Best from Good Ol' Blighty! - Trader Jim (make mine a Mai-Tai!).
