Hello all, I have been asked to assist a Philadelphia bar and a rum producer to put on a tiki event in Philly on Saturday, Nov 15.

I was telling them about Tiki Central and the tiki community in general and they both want to find ways to connect more and give us events we would enjoy (I told them about how most "tiki" events come off a little too "Jimmy Buffett-y" and yes, there is a difference).

Details to come in the next day or two, but I wanted to put this message out there to gauge interest and solicit any ideas that folks may have about what they would like to see at such an event. Anything from serving pu-pu's, presenting some tiki/poly-pop history, a discussion of tiki drink mixology, or whatever.

In general, the idea will be to have some classic tiki drinks (maybe some new interpretations too), exotica music, proper kitschy video on the walls as background, etc. and whatever other do-able ideas you may have (besides free drinks).

This is initially being planned as a one-time event, but could be repeated with interest.

More to come...
