Aloha everyone.

I am going to be in San Francisco tentatively Thursday the 18th and Friday the 19th of this month, then I will be driving to Los Angeles the morning of the 20th, and spending the evening of the 20th through the morning of Tuesday the 23rd in LA. I will be in Las Vegas the evening of the 23rd, and then I will be driving east on whatever parts of old Rt. 66 I can find, all the way back to Chicago.

Any Tiki Centraites who's town I may be rolling through are warmly invited to join me for Mai Tais at whatever local Tiki Bar seems most appropriate... I'm thinking of getting started at Tonga Room on Friday and then moving on, and trying to get into Tiki Ti early Saturday, and then...??? Any suggestions for Thursday? Trader Vic's Emeryville? Sunday - Bahooka?

The reason for this trek is to try to solicit interest from West Coast publishers for my book, Tiki Road Trip. The book is finished, and includes a lot of the data from my web site (The Tiki Bar Review Pages) and a whole lot more stuff that I have been compiling for the past few years (sorry guys, I've been holding out on ya a little bit!).

Any Tiki Centralites who know anyone in the publishing biz will have their bar tab paid for by yours truly if you:
a. put in a good word for me somewhere
and
b. meet me for a drink in one of the aformentioned towns...

Aloha and Mahalo...

I leave by car Monday morning, but I will try to check these messages as I travel... or Email me privately at: [email protected].
