A friend of mine named Marissa is putting on a show in Modesto some TC folks might be interested in. Rooms are going quickly apparently... Here's the info: ROCK-A-HULA POOL-A-PARTY LUAU & CAR SHOW Here are the details to the event: It’s a 21 AND OVER two day event that consists of a pre-party on Friday Night October 16th at MINNIE'S TIKI Restaurant & Bar for a meet and greet of tikiphiles, cool Rockabilly kids and anybody that admires the TIKI culture. Drink and appetizer specials will be available from 6-10pm with the Cherry Bombs Car Club DJing & spinning Exotica, Rockabilly & blues. Saturday is the ultimate pool party with live music, Djs (including VIDA LEE, DJ HIGH YELLOW, DR. SCOTT & MISS CHERRY BOMB), tiki & hawaiian based vendors, a pre-1964 car show, rum-based limbo contests, raffles and a choice of roasted pig or hawaiian burger lunch plate luau with full island sides. The TIKI COCKTAIL LOUNGE will be offering great traditional tiki drinks at a discounted price. Where is it? The Rock-A-Hula Pool-A-Party will be located in Modesto, CA at the ROADWAY INN (formerly Ken Kimes' Tropics Hotel). The address is 936 McHenry AVE. Reservation Telephone # (209)523-7701. The TIKI COCKTAIL LOUNGE is located directly in front of the Roadway Inn (932 McHenry Ave) and MINNIE'S TIKI RESTAURANT is located .7 miles away at 107 McHenry Avenue. When is it? The pre-party at Minnie's Restaurant & Bar is on Friday, October 16th, 2009 from 6-10pm. The actual Rock-A-Hula Pool-A-Party is Saturday, October 17th, 2009 from noon-2am. What do I bring? Bring a lawn chair for your comfort on Saturday for the pool party. Bring a beach towel, a swimsuit and sunblock! What do I wear? VINTAGE HAWAIIAN clothing is HIGHLY recommended. This is a HAWAIIAN LUAU at a 1950's establishment. Get festive!! How much is it to enter my pre-1964 billet-free Traditional Rod or Kustom? It's FREE to bring your car to the event, but bear in mind that only the first 50 cars will be able to be in the car show as parking spaces are limited (please see car show requirements below). Gate opens at 11am for cars to come in. What is there to do?
What Hotels are close by the events? The SUBURBAN LODGE is our ‘economically friendly’ overflow hotel with $50 room rates located 50 feet down from the Roadway Inn at 912 McHenry Avenue. When the Roadway Inn books up, this is the place to go! Sparkling pool and clean rooms! How much is it to get into the Rock-A-Hula Pool-A-Party? $20.00 at the gate gets you the full roasted pig or hawaiian burger luau lunch plate plus the all day event, music and Djs. $10 gets you the event, music & Djs, but no food. This is strictly 21 & OVER!!! Only 150 food tickets left. Food PRE-PAY with Paypal tickets available soon. How much are Vendors spots? 10 X 10 = $50.00 Email: [email protected] for a vendor form. Only 4 spots left. There are NO cancellation refunds, so make sure this is the event you want to do (but who DOESN'T want to vend this event???). Money orders accepted ONLY. Can I bring in my own cooler and drinks (alcoholic)? Unfortunately you MAY NOT bring alcohol into the venue. The owner of the motel and bar will NOT risk a $10,000 fine if you bring your own drinks. But trust me, we WILL be offering great drink deals!!! So stay tuned for more info. What are the car show requirements?
Link to the hotel reservations page. Be sure to mention "Luau" when you book your hotel room for a discount. If the Roadway Inn fills up, the Suburban Lodge is matching the TIKI rate and they are 50 feet down the sidewalk! Critiki Details Page on the Rodeway/Tropics. Don't be fooled by the Critiki Rating. That's when it was still the Tropics Motel. It's been completely renovated and they are ready for us to Rock-A-Hula with them! - Critiki Details Page on the adjacent tiki bar - |
