let's face it, we have NO original Tiki places still standing in SoCal, and even tho' KONA has gone through a transformation from Sam's to Kona, it's still an original Tiki place, and a damn nice one at that, so we should support it.

I'm with ya Jim but you've mentioned this before and I'm sure the people at The Tonga Hut, Bahooka, Tiki-Ti, Damon's, The Bali Hai, Humphrey's and even the Warehouse might argue with you.

I'll be there on the 11th.

You got a point there Boris. I guess I don't ever really think of the Tiki Ti because it's so small, and doesn't really give you the Big Supper club experiencethat, say, the Mai Kai does. In that respect, KONA is the closest think we have to the Mai Kai interms of the scale of the place. The Tiki Ti tho' is famous for the drinks and the owner history, which is obviously a big part of
what makes it special.

The Warehouse.....that's a place I need to go...Isn't it more of a strictly nautical theme tho ?

KATE...no worries, and yea, I guess I'm heavy handed when it comes to promo. There's really no point in lugging 7 people and all that gear out to play to nobody. God knows, I've done enough of THAT in my life with other bands, so I try to make sure that when the band has gone through all that effort, there is a crowd to play to. :)

Anyway, I really want this to be a great event., and no disrespect was meant to the other fine establishments I overlooked. I Love Bahooka,The Tonga Hut, and Damons.....my bad :roll:
